What we found
Report assembled Oct 8, 2026 · Source observations are dated below- SERIOUSAdvertises interstate moves; its website shows no USDOT or MC number on the pages we read
None of the 3 page(s) we read (home, about, services) shows a USDOT or MC number in text. Interstate household-goods movers must show their USDOT number in advertising (49 CFR 375.207).
Its own federal record shows active household-goods authority (USDOT 1194579, MC-478669); the requirement is to show the USDOT number in its advertising. Confirm the carrier named on your estimate and bill of lading, and check its numbers.

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.
The captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods authority. Confirm its current status and the operating carrier before booking.
Fleet size reported in federal filings.
What we checked
- Federal operating authority (FMCSA)Active federal authority: carrier. Observed Oct 8, 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 8, 2026. Confirm the actual operating carrier and any separate operating restrictions for your move.
- State household-goods licenceTxDMV lists certificate 006161558 as EXPIRED (checked Oct 8, 2026). Do not hire this company for an in-state household move under this certificate.
- 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 8, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
- 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 8, 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. - Yes — authority recordedObserved Oct 8, 2026
- Operating status
- ACTIVE
- Trucks
What does this mean?
FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases. - 2
- 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. - 2

Information NMB could not verify

- • FMCSA enforcement / out-of-service evidence
- • Certificate transparency source unavailable — latest recorded lookup could not be completed (research gap, not a company finding)

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.
