San Diego Moving Company
Legal name: SAN DIEGO MOVING COMPANY
Advertises long-distance moves, prints no USDOT or MC number
What we found
Checked Sep 3, 2026 · every line links to its source- SERIOUSAdvertises long-distance moves, prints no USDOT or MC number
None of the 6 page(s) we read (home, about, pricing, faq, licensing, services) shows a USDOT or MC number in text. Interstate household-goods movers must show their USDOT number in advertising (49 CFR 375.207).
You cannot look this company up from its own website. That is the point.

We searched Yelp, BBB, Trustpilot by name and city and found no listing for this business; Google could not be read.

- ON RECORDNo federal operating authority — in-state mover
SAFER operating-authority status: NOT AUTHORIZED. Federal authority is only required for moves that cross state lines; this company does not advertise them and declares Intrastate Only (Non-HM) to FMCSA.
For an in-state move the state licence is what matters — see the state licence line.

- ON RECORDNot in FMCSA's interstate mover registry — no complaint history is published
USDOT 2710564 does not appear in FMCSA's Protect Your Move household-goods mover registry, so the National Consumer Complaint Database history is not published for it. FMCSA keeps that history for registered interstate movers only.

What we checked
- Federally licensed (FMCSA)FMCSA shows authority as "NOT AUTHORIZED." This mover is not currently authorized to operate as a federal carrier.
- Federal interstate household-goods authorityThis carrier is registered with FMCSA as intrastate-only, so federal household-goods authority does not apply to in-state moves. It would need federal authority before performing an interstate move. State licensing governs in-state moves — see the state registry check.
- State household-goods licenceWe could not complete the California Bureau of Household Goods and Services (BHGS) lookup (checked Sep 2, 2026). This is a gap in our check, not a finding about the company.
- Insurance currently on fileWe have not been able to confirm this company’s insurance status.
- Operates under a single brand nameNo alternate marketing brand names found on the company website.
- Claimed years in business matches verified recordsWebsite says Family owned and operated since 2012 but BBB business profile shows 13 years (since 5/31/2013). The claim is materially lower than verified.
Other concerns we want to surface
- •21 medium-confidence identity matches awaiting review (advisory; does not block publishing)
- •State licensing still unverified
- •Address/location signal needs human review
FMCSA regulatory snapshot
- Authority status
What does this mean?
"Authority" is the FMCSA permission to operate as a federal interstate carrier. NOT AUTHORIZED / INACTIVE means the carrier cannot legally accept interstate moves under federal rules. ACTIVE means they have permission to operate. - NOT AUTHORIZED
- Carrier operation
What does this mean?
This carrier is registered to operate only within one state. Federal interstate authority does not apply to intrastate-only carriers, which is why federal insurance and authority status fields may show as "Not Specified" or "Not Authorized." - Intrastate Only (Non-hazardous materials)
- Authorized for HHG
What does this mean?
"HHG" stands for Household Goods, the federal category covering home moves. A carrier without HHG authority is not allowed to move home contents across state lines under federal law. - No
- Operating status
What does this mean?
This means the company's USDOT registration is active in the FMCSA database. It does NOT mean the company is authorized to operate as a federal interstate mover. See "Authority status" above for that. A carrier can have an ACTIVE USDOT registration but still not be authorized to do interstate moves. - ACTIVE
- Trucks
What does this mean?
FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases. - 2
- Drivers
What does this mean?
Drivers the carrier has registered with FMCSA. This is the official number; some carriers operate with more drivers than registered. - 3
- Insurance status
- —
- Safety rating
What does this mean?
FMCSA only assigns a safety rating after conducting a Compliance Review (a formal on-site audit). Most carriers have never been audited. About 90% of registered carriers carry no rating. "Not rated" is normal; it does not mean the carrier failed an audit or is unsafe. It only means an audit has not happened. - Not rated
- DOT complaints (FMCSA)
- We could not verify complaints for this companyNot listed in FMCSA's Protect Your Move mover registry, so no NCCDB complaint history is published for this USDOT number. FMCSA keeps that history for registered interstate household-goods movers only. This is not a clean record — it is an unknown one. Check FMCSA's mover search yourself before you book.
- FMCSA enforcement & investigations
- No enforcement cases (six years) · SMS record
- Physical address
- 3888 GENESEE AVE #212, SAN DIEGO, CA 92111

Reviews and complaints — every platform we check
Each platform is shown whether or not this company has a listing. “No listing found” means we searched by name and city and nothing matched — it is a fact, not a rating.
