What we found

Report assembled Oct 1, 2026 · Source observations are dated below
  1. SERIOUS
    4 consumer complaints filed with FMCSA in the last four years — 3 for holding goods hostage

    FMCSA's National Consumer Complaint Database (via the Protect Your Move registry) — by year: 2023: 1 · 2025: 1 · 2026: 2 (registry data as of 08/28/2026). Categories: Hostage Goods 3, Pickup and Delivery 2, Loss and Damage 2, Claim Settlement 2, Shipment Documents 1. Separately, the registry reports a fleet snapshot of 10 trucks, 5 tractors, 6 trailers; this does not measure moves completed during the complaint period.

    Hostage-goods complaints mean customers told FMCSA this company held their belongings until they paid more than the estimate.

  • Oct 1, 2026MEDIUMNew operating authority on record: MC507359 Motor Carrier of Household Goods — Active.

What kind of company is this?

Carrier

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.

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 passed
  • Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
    Active federal authority: carrier. Observed Oct 1, 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 1, 2026. Confirm the actual operating carrier and any separate operating restrictions for your move.
  • State household-goods licence
    Not checked for this profile.
  • 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 1, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
  • 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.
