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.
How long this company’s website has existed, from Internet Archive records. Very new websites are a common scam signal.

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 does not show interstate household-goods carrier authority. Observed Oct 14, 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 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.
- Authority revocation or suspension actions on recordNo cancelled or revoked insurance filings were identified in the records reviewed. FMCSA’s files hold 7 filing records for these 5 filings; 2 later records on filings that had already ended are listed but not counted. FMCSA’s authority history also records 1 involuntary revocation action (served 2021-04-29, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2021-06-08), 1 revocation or suspension order (INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 2025-10-03, effective 2025-11-05), 2 authority actions with a revocation, suspension or out-of-service disposition (GRANTED served 2019-07-05, disposition REVOKED decided 2025-11-05; GRANTED served 2006-02-10, disposition REVOKED decided 2025-11-05) and 1 reinstatement (served 2026-02-05).
- Review ratings compared across sourcesYelp has only 4 reviews, too few to compare with Google's 252; star ratings differ by 2.8 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

What does this mean?

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.
