No State household-goods mover registry record found for this business
We searched State household-goods mover registry on 10/13/2026 and found no certificate under this name or USDOT 3940309.
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.

Federal record: General Freight — not Household Goods
Cargo on the FMCSA record: GENERAL. Household Goods is not checked, and the Household Goods operating authority is not active.
Cargo declarations and operating authority are separate records. This checkbox alone does not establish which moves the company may perform.

ON RECORD
South Carolina Secretary of State Business Entities Online could not be checked in this report
The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. The search for "UNITS Moving and Portable Storage" was submitted using the official register's Contains search, but no results could be read because of the reCAPTCHA requirement. The separate searches for "CAROLINA MOVING AND PORTABLE STORAGE" and "UNITS OF ASHEVILLE & GREENVILLE" could not be completed after the CAPTCHA block. No official entity record pages, entity numbers, statuses, dates, agents, officers, or addresses could be confirmed. Pagination and result completeness could not be assessed. The register search was blocked: The official South Carolina Secretary of State Business Entities Online search displayed a reCAPTCHA requirement after the search was submitted, and the CAPTCHA prevented access to the search results.

What kind of company is this?

Carrier

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.

21+ years online

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

3 trucks on file

Fleet size reported in federal filings.

What we checked

2 passed3 caution1 failed

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 authority
The 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 licence
We searched State household-goods mover registry (checked Oct 14, 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 record
No cancelled or revoked insurance filings were identified in the records reviewed. FMCSA’s authority history also records 1 revocation or suspension order (VOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served on a date not listed, effective on a date not listed) and 1 authority action with a revocation, suspension or out-of-service disposition (GRANTED served 2022-10-06, disposition REVOKED decided 2026-01-26). 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.
Address and operating-location evidence
Website 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.

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 14, 2026
Carrier operation: 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 14, 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.: 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.: 1
Insurance status: —
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
DOT complaints (FMCSA): We could not verify complaints for this companySource details were blocked and not visible on the official lookup page. This is not a clean record — it is an unknown one. Check FMCSA's mover search yourself before you book.
FMCSA enforcement & investigations: No enforcement cases (six years) · SMS record
Physical address: 308 PENNSYLVANIA AVE GREER, SC 29650
Operating authority dockets: InactiveMC1463180Motor Carrier of Household Goods
ActiveMC1463180Motor Carrier of Property (Except Household Goods)
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.

State household-goods licence

In-state moves are governed by the state, not the FMCSA. This is what State household-goods mover registry shows as of Oct 14, 2026.

We searched State household-goods mover registry on Oct 14, 2026 and found no record for this business. That may mean it is not licensed here, or that it is registered under a different legal name.
