What we found

Report assembled Oct 14, 2026 · Source observations are dated below
  1. SERIOUS
    Advertises interstate moves; its website shows no USDOT or MC number on the pages we read

    None of the 5 page(s) we read (home, about, pricing, 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).

    Its own federal record shows active household-goods authority (USDOT 719392, MC-392645); the requirement is to show the USDOT number in its advertising. Confirm the carrier named on your estimate and bill of lading, and check its numbers.

  2. COULD NOT VERIFY
    No State household-goods mover registry record found for this business

    We searched State household-goods mover registry on 10/13/2026 and found no certificate under this name or USDOT 719392.

    Ask for the current certificate number and exact licensed legal name, then verify them with the state. This search result does not establish that the company is unlicensed.

  3. ON RECORD
    No consumer complaints filed with FMCSA in the last four years

    FMCSA's National Consumer Complaint Database shows no complaints against USDOT 719392 in the last four years (registry data as of 09/25/2026).

  6. ON RECORD
    Indiana Secretary of State INBiz Business Search could not be checked in this report

    The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. The official register page loaded, but its CAPTCHA prevented a search from being submitted and results from being read. Because the CAPTCHA blocked the first attempted search, the other supplied names (ED SHERMAN MOVING STORAGE COMPANY INC, Sherman Moving & Storage, and SHERMAN MOVING & STORAGE COMPANY) were not searchable in this run. No entity record pages, entity IDs, statuses, dates, agents, officers, addresses, or source dates could be confirmed from the official register. The register search was blocked: A reCAPTCHA challenge on the official Indiana INBiz Business Search blocked the search. After entering the first requested legal name (Sherman Moving & Storage Co., Inc.) and clicking Search, the register displayed: "You must successfully complete the Captcha"; no results could be submitted or read.

  7. ON RECORD
    Every exposed BBB review and complaint record was read: 0 reviews, 1 public complaints

    BBB exposes no reviews. Public complaints 2024-04-22 to 2024-04-22 (BBB status counts: 1 answered; “answered” is not “resolved”). Complete retrieval of the exposed record is not proof the reviews are authentic or that nothing was removed.

What kind of company is this?

Carrier

Interstate HHG carrier authority

The captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods authority. Confirm its current status and the operating carrier before booking.

What we checked

3 passed1 caution1 failed
  • Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
    Active federal authority: carrier. Observed Oct 14, 2026. Carrier, broker and freight-forwarder authority are separate categories. This federal result does not determine its eligibility for in-state moves; see the separate state-registry check.
  • Federal interstate household-goods carrier authority
    The captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods carrier authority. Observed Oct 14, 2026. Confirm the actual operating carrier and any separate operating restrictions for your move.
  • State household-goods licence
    We searched State household-goods mover registry (checked Oct 13, 2026) and found no record for this business. That may mean it is not licensed in this state, or that it operates under a different legal name — it is not itself proof of a violation.
  • Federal BIPD insurance filing (dated record)
    On-file BIPD amount ($750,000) met or exceeded the recorded requirement ($750,000). Cargo coverage is a separate question. As observed Oct 14, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
  • Cancelled or revoked insurance filings on record
    3 cancelled or revoked insurance filings on record with FMCSA. Review the filing dates and reasons. This history does not by itself mean the company is currently uninsured. 2 cancellations left no filing of the same coverage in effect on the cancellation date (BIPD cancelled 2000-12-30, next filing effective 2001-01-01; CARGO cancelled 2000-12-30, next filing effective 2001-01-01). For 1 of them, whether coverage continued cannot be judged from the files: FMCSA’s own later record of the same filing is dated after the cancellation (BIPD cancelled 2004-10-20, later record dated 2020-06-20). FMCSA’s files hold 15 filing records for these 9 filings; 5 later records on filings that had already ended and 1 replacement record dated the filing’s own effective date are listed but not counted. FMCSA’s authority history also records 1 involuntary revocation action (served 2005-11-23, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2005-11-30), 1 revocation or suspension order (INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 2004-08-12, effective 2004-09-14), 1 authority action with a revocation, suspension or out-of-service disposition (GRANTED served 2000-10-25, disposition REVOKED decided 2004-09-14) and 1 reinstatement (served 2004-09-27). FMCSA's open data shows this USDOT's filing history only up to 2026-05-14: the legacy L&I files stopped updating that day, and the MOTUS files, which hold later changes, list no record for this USDOT. A filing change after 2026-05-14 was not available when checked.
  • Address and operating-location evidence
    Property use and a customer-accessible operating facility have not been established. A registered address, mailing address and local office can serve different purposes.

Address use and operating locations

A registered office, mailing address and operating facility can be different places. Residential or mailbox use alone does not establish improper operation.

No current source-backed property-use determination is available. This is a verification gap, not proof of a false address or a verified operating facility.

Authority status
What does this mean?Federal operating authority is category-specific: carrier, broker and freight-forwarder roles are separate. An active registration or one active role does not establish household-goods carrier authority. Operating restrictions are checked separately.

Operating authority dockets

A company can hold several federal dockets over its lifetime. Only an Active docket grants operating authority. An inactive one is history, not a violation.

State household-goods licence

In-state moves are governed by the state, not the FMCSA. This is what State household-goods mover registry shows as of Oct 13, 2026.

We searched State household-goods mover registry on Oct 13, 2026 and found no record for this business. That may mean it is not licensed here, or that it is registered under a different legal name.

State business entity record

Verified customer experience reports

Structured accounts from customers who proved their move with a bill of lading or final invoice, a verified email, and a verified phone. No star ratings, no anonymous reviews, and nothing a company can pay to change — how this works.

No verified customer reports yet. Only customers who can document their move may submit one — that keeps the count honest, and it means it grows slowly.

How current is this report?

Report assembled Oct 14, 2026. First published Oct 12, 2026. This report pulls from 523 pieces of information across federal, state, review, and identity sources. Check each source's date for when its information was observed.

NMB does not invent facts. When a section reads "—" or "this check has not run yet," that means we have not been able to verify the information from a primary source. It does not mean the answer is good or bad.
