The Affordable Movers
FMCSA registrant: RDJ HAULING & DELIVERY LLC
USDOT 2014543 · FMCSA SAFER · observed
No federal operating authority
What we found
Report assembled Oct 19, 2026 · Source observations are dated below- CRITICALNo federal operating authority
SAFER operating-authority status: NOT AUTHORIZED. The website advertises interstate moves.
It cannot legally perform the interstate household moves it advertises.
Source: Captured FMCSA record · Captured FMCSA record · as of Oct 19, 2026
- SERIOUSRegistered as intrastate-only, advertises interstate moves
FMCSA carrier operation (MCS-150): Intrastate Only (Non-HM). The website says: “[For out of state moves we can load your truck](https://static”.
It has told FMCSA it does not cross state lines. Any interstate move it sells is outside its registration.
Source: SAFER snapshot · company website · as of Oct 19, 2026
- SERIOUSAdvertises interstate moves; its website shows no USDOT or MC number on the pages we read
None of the 5 page(s) we read (home, contact, about, pricing, services) shows a USDOT or MC number in text. Interstate household-goods movers must show their USDOT number in advertising (49 CFR 375.207).
The pages we examined did not provide a USDOT or MC number to check. Ask which registration would carry your interstate move.

- PROBLEMSays “licensed and insured” — prints no licence number
“RDJ Hauling & Delivery, LLC dba The Affordable Movers - Des Moines is a locally owned licensed and insured moving and delivery company focus”. No USDOT, MC or state licence number appears anywhere in the site text we read.
A licence claim with no number is unverifiable.

- CAUTIONWebsite and federal records list different addresses
Website (observed 2026-10-10T20:05:25.615Z): 800 Interstate Pkwy Unit 164, Waukee, Iowa 50263. FMCSA physical address (observed 2026-10-19T06:25:46.713Z): 8565 PARKSIDE CIRCLE, WEST DES MOINES, IA 50266. FMCSA mailing address: 8565 PARKSIDE CIRCLE, WEST DES MOINES, IA 50266.
Different branches, a relocation, or different reporting dates may explain the difference. Confirm the current operating office and the location handling your move.

- COULD NOT VERIFYNo 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 2014543.
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.
- COULD NOT VERIFYNo matching listing found in our BBB, Trustpilot searches
Our name-and-city searches on BBB, Trustpilot did not identify a matching listing; Google, Yelp could not be read. This is a limitation of this search, not proof that the company has no reviews or public track record.
- ON RECORDNot in FMCSA's interstate mover registry — no complaint history is published
USDOT 2014543 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.

- ON RECORDIowa Secretary of State Business Entities Search could not be checked in this report
The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. The official search page was reachable and identified itself as "Business Entities Search", but submitting the first name search ("RDJ Hauling & Delivery, LLC") redirected to a Cloudflare security-verification page rather than displaying results. Because the results could not be read, no entity records, IDs, types, statuses, dates, agents, officers, addresses, source record URLs, or source dates could be confirmed. The separate searches for "RDJ HAULING & DELIVERY LLC", "The Affordable Movers", and the suffix-free/partial variants were not completed because the security verification blocked access after the first submission. No conclusion that matching entities do or do not exist can be drawn from the blocked search. The register search was blocked: Cloudflare security verification blocked the official Iowa Secretary of State Business Entities Search immediately after the search submission; the results page could not be read.
- ON RECORDFollow-up: a page first read as another business lists this company itself
The permitted Cybo listing establishes that The Affordable Movers is listed among moving companies in Grimes, Iowa and that its displayed website is tamiowa.com, but it does not establish a legal, ownership, personnel, succession, or rebranding relationship to another business.
The permitted source contains no state-register filing, FMCSA record, shared person, business address for The Affordable Movers, dated filing or posting date, or consumer statement about succession or rebranding, and it does not identify a second business whose website can be compared; those matters remain unverified.

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 federal record reports in-state operation. This is a declared operating scope, not verification of a state license. See the separate licensing checks.
Fleet size reported in federal filings.
What we checked
- Federal operating authority (FMCSA)No active federal authority captured. Observed Oct 19, 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 does not show interstate household-goods carrier authority. Observed Oct 19, 2026. This does not rule out separate broker authority; see the category-specific federal dockets. It does not determine eligibility for in-state moves or another operating carrier.
- State household-goods licenceWe 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 statusWe 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.
- Address and operating-location evidenceWebsite and federal records list different addresses. See the dated sources and address roles below; these signals alone do not establish improper operation.
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.
Company connections
Other businesses that share an identifier with this company, searched Oct 10, 2026. A shared phone, email, address or registration number is a documented fact. On its own it does not establish common ownership or a corporate relationship; that is stated separately for each entry.

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. - No active federal authority capturedObserved Oct 19, 2026
- 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)
- 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. - No — not shown in the captured recordObserved Oct 19, 2026
- 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. - 3
- 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

- Limitation: The separate searches for "RDJ HAULING & DELIVERY LLC", "The Affordable Movers", and the suffix-free/partial variants were not completed because the security verification blocked access after the first submission.
