- COULD NOT VERIFYNo 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 98045.
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.

“Most Trusted Moving Company”. This is the company's own marketing statement; this wording alone does not establish an independent ranking.

- ON RECORDPennsylvania Department of State Business Search could not be checked in this report
The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. Neither SOUTH HILLS MOVERS INC nor South Hills Movers could be submitted to the official register because the security verification challenge prevented access to the search form. No official register result list or entity record pages could be read, so entity names, IDs, types, statuses, dates, agents, officers, addresses, source URLs, and record dates could not be confirmed. The official Department of State record-search information page states that the public Business Entity Search is hosted at file.dos.pa.gov, but it does not provide entity records itself. The register search was blocked: Cloudflare security verification blocked access to the official Pennsylvania Department of State Business Search in the browser; the page displayed "Security Verification Required" and did not expose the search form or results. The current Pennsylvania Business Hub alternative also requires login/reCAPTCHA.

What kind of company is this?
The captured federal record lists a carrier role. This alone does not establish current interstate household-goods authority or guarantee who will perform your move.
The captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods authority. Confirm its current status and the operating carrier before booking.
How long this company’s website has existed, from Internet Archive records. Very new websites are a common scam signal.
Fleet size reported in federal filings.
What we checked
- 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 authorityThe 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 licenceWe 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.
- Involuntary revocation actions on recordNo cancelled or revoked insurance filings were identified in the records reviewed. FMCSA’s authority history also records 1 involuntary revocation action (served 2021-04-29, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2021-06-08).
- Review ratings compared across sourcesBBB has only 1 review, too few to compare with Google's 456; star ratings differ by 2.0 stars.
- Address and operating-location evidenceProperty 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.
FMCSA regulatory snapshot
- 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. - Active federal authority: carrierObserved Oct 14, 2026
- Carrier operation
- Interstate
- Interstate HHG carrier authority
What does this mean?
"HHG" means Household Goods. This field checks interstate carrier authority, not separate broker authority. A "No" here does not rule out broker authority; consult the category-specific federal dockets below. - Yes — authority recordedObserved Oct 14, 2026
- Operating status

- Trucks
What does this mean?
FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases. - 42
- 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. - 31

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.
