PROBLEM
Another business, “Forward Storage”, shares the phone number printed on this company’s website, (901) 382-0707
A Yelp listing for “Forward Storage” shows the phone number printed on this company’s website, (901) 382-0707; the same business appears on 4 other pages. Excerpt: “Rating 5.0(1)More info about Forward Storage ; 5724 Shelby Oaks Dr. Memphis, TN 38134. Directions ; (901) 382-0707. Call Now ; Visit Website. https://www.forwardstorage.com.”
A shared identifier shows a connection; it does not establish common ownership, succession or responsibility. The corporate relationship is not verified.
The same phone number listed for two business names is a connection worth understanding before you book.
Before booking: Ask the company what its relationship is to “Forward Storage” and make sure the name on your contract is the company you expect.
Another business, “Tennessee Storage”, shares the phone number printed on this company’s website, (901) 382-0707
A web page for “Tennessee Storage” shows the phone number printed on this company’s website, (901) 382-0707. Excerpt: “(901) 382-0707. BEST OPTION. Get up to 3 free quotes, fast. Compare verified pros and pick the best price for your project. Free, no commitment. Save up to 30 ...”

Follow-up on a related business: partly established
The FMCSA Company Snapshot identifies TENNESSEE MOVING AND STORAGE (USDOT 1429864) at 5724 Shelby Oaks Drive, Memphis, TN 38134, with phone (901) 377-7740 and no DBA name shown, but it does not establish a relationship to a separate business called Tennessee Moving & Storage.
The permitted source does not verify any state-register filing, shared people, website, succession or rebranding statement, or consumer allegation; it also does not establish ownership or that the businesses are the same beyond the FMCSA record's listed name, address, and phone.
Ask the company what its relationship is to the other business before you book.
No State household-goods mover registry record found for this business
We searched State household-goods mover registry on 10/09/2026 and found no certificate under this name or USDOT 1429864.
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.
ON RECORD
USDOT 1429864: no federal operating authority recorded
SAFER operating-authority status: NOT AUTHORIZED. The registration declares Intrastate Only (Non-HM) to FMCSA. This does not establish the business's advertised service area.
For an interstate move, verify which carrier will perform the move and its operating authority. For an in-state move, check the applicable state licence.
Tennessee Secretary of State Business Information Search could not be checked in this report
The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. No search was submitted and no official search results were read, so no entity match, status, control number, entity type, date, agent, officers, address, record URL, or source date could be confirmed. The names TENNESSEE MOVING AND STORAGE, Tennessee Moving & Storage, and the suffix-free/partial variants could not be searched because the official portal's human-verification challenge failed. The legacy register URL specified in the request was inaccessible during this run; the current official portal was used only to the point of the blocked verification challenge. The register search was blocked: The specified legacy Tennessee register URL (https://tnbear.tn.gov/ECommerce/FilingSearch.aspx) could not be reached (connection reset/tunnel failure). The current official Tennessee Secretary of State Business Entity Search at https://tncab.tnsos.gov/business-entity-search loaded, but Cloudflare Turnstile returned 'Verification failed', so the Search action could not be enabled or submitted.
ON RECORD
2 other businesses listed at this street address
“Forward Storage” (web page); “Self-Storage Units Near 5724 Shelby Oaks Drive, Memphis, TN” (web page). This is operating-location context: a multi-tenant building or suite shared with unrelated businesses.
A shared street address alone does not indicate any corporate relationship; suite numbers and tenancy were not compared.
Follow-up: a page first read as another business lists this company itself
The specified Forward Storage page identifies a self-storage business at 5724 Shelby Oaks Dr., Memphis, TN and publishes the phone number (901) 382-0707, but it does not identify Tennessee Moving & Storage or establish a relationship between the two businesses.
Because the mandatory source constraint limited review to the specified Forward Storage page, no state-register or FMCSA filings, shared people, other addresses or websites, or consumer statements about succession or rebranding were verified; the page has no printed posting or filing date available for this evidence.
Every exposed BBB review and complaint record was read: 0 reviews, 0 public complaints
BBB exposes no reviews. BBB reports 0 complaints; no public complaint narratives were available to read. Complete retrieval of the exposed record is not proof the reviews are authentic or that nothing was removed.
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.
Intrastate operation reported
The captured federal record reports in-state operation. This is a declared operating scope, not verification of a state license. See the separate licensing checks.
6 trucks on file
Fleet size reported in federal filings.
What we checked
1 caution
Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
No active federal authority captured. Observed Oct 16, 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
An own-carrier authority check is not applicable to the recorded broker/forwarder role, parent-authority relationship, or declared in-state operation. Observed Oct 16, 2026. This does not rule out separate broker authority. Eligibility for in-state moves is checked separately in the state registry.
State household-goods licence
We searched State household-goods mover registry (checked Oct 9, 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 insurance status
We do not have a consistent, dated insurance amount observation matched to this company’s USDOT. This is a verification gap, not a finding that the company is uninsured.
No cancelled insurance filings in the records read; later history not read
No cancelled or revoked filings were identified in the records reviewed, which do not cover this company’s full filing history. 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.
Review ratings compared across sources
Yelp has only 4 reviews, too few to compare with Google's 94; star ratings differ by 1.3 stars.
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.
Serious concerns and company connections
Read these findings before booking or paying a deposit. Key evidence and the action to take are shown below.

FMCSA regulatory snapshot
Authority statusWhat 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.
Carrier operationWhat 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)
Interstate HHG carrier authorityWhat 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.
TrucksWhat does this mean?FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases.
6
DriversWhat does this mean?Drivers the carrier has registered with FMCSA. This is the official number; some carriers operate with more drivers than registered.

How current is this report?
Report assembled Oct 16, 2026. First published Oct 12, 2026. This report pulls from 371 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.
