FMCSA registrant: THE PRIME PACKERS LLC
USDOT 4563284 · FMCSA SAFER · observed
It cannot legally perform interstate household moves under federal rules.
What we found
Report assembled Oct 10, 2026 · Source observations are dated below- CRITICALNo federal operating authority
SAFER operating-authority status: NOT AUTHORIZED. The carrier declares interstate operation to FMCSA. 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 10, 2026
- SERIOUSAdvertises interstate moves; its website shows no USDOT or MC number on the pages we read
None of the 4 page(s) we read (home, contact, 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.
Source: company website · as of Oct 9, 2026
- PROBLEMSays “licensed and insured” — prints no licence number
“Compare at least three estimates from licensed, insured movers in Fort Wayne”. No USDOT, MC or state licence number appears anywhere in the site text we read.
A licence claim with no number is unverifiable.
Source: company website · as of Oct 9, 2026
- COULD NOT VERIFYNo State household-goods mover registry record found for this business
We searched State household-goods mover registry on 09/03/2026 and found no certificate under this name or USDOT 4563284.
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.

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.
Fleet size reported in federal filings.
What we checked
- Federal operating authority (FMCSA)No active federal authority captured. Observed Oct 10, 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 10, 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 Sep 3, 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.
- Review ratings compared across sourcesYelp has only 2 reviews, too few to compare with Google's 115; star ratings differ by 0.0 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.
- Claimed reviews matches verified recordsWayne area. What our clients are saying EXCELLENT Based on 82 reviews Posted on Google T Williams Trustindex verifies t on website matches Google shows 115 reviews (checked Oct 9, 2026) from Google listing matched to this business.
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. - No active federal authority capturedObserved Oct 10, 2026

- Interstate
- 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 10, 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. - 1
- 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

- Safety rating
What does this mean?
FMCSA only assigns a safety rating after conducting a Compliance Review (a formal on-site audit). Most carriers have never been audited. About 90% of registered carriers carry no rating. "Not rated" is normal; it does not mean the carrier failed an audit or is unsafe. It only means an audit has not happened. - Not rated
