FMCSA registrant: WHEATON VAN LINES INC
USDOT 70719 · FMCSA SAFER · observed
12 consumer complaints filed with FMCSA in the last four years — 1 for holding goods hostage
FMCSA's National Consumer Complaint Database (via the Protect Your Move registry) — by year: 2023: 4 · 2024: 2 · 2025: 3 · 2026: 3 (registry data as of 09/25/2026). Categories: Loss and Damage 9, Estimates/Final Charges 6, Pickup and Delivery 6, Shipment Documents 5, Claim Settlement 4. Separately, the registry reports a fleet snapshot of 116 trucks, 651 tractors, 725 trailers; this does not measure moves completed during the complaint period.
Hostage-goods complaints mean customers told FMCSA this company held their belongings until they paid more than the estimate.

We searched State household-goods mover registry on 10/13/2026 and found no certificate under this name or USDOT 70719.
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.

The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. The official register's search could not be completed because reCAPTCHA verification blocked submission. No official record page, entity number, status, entity type, formation date, registered agent, officers, address, or record as-of date could be confirmed. Because the search was blocked before results were returned, the other requested names ("WHEATON VAN LINES INC", "WHEATON WORLD WIDE MOVING", and suffix-free variants) could not be searched separately. The register search was blocked: The official Indiana INBiz Business Search required successful reCAPTCHA verification before submitting the business-name search. The search was attempted for "Wheaton World Wide Moving", but the site displayed: "You must successfully complete the Captcha"; no results could be read.

The cited sponsors page lists The Wheaton Group at 8010 Castleton Road, Indianapolis, with phone 800-248-7962, identifies Kregg Boreani as Director of Agency Recruiting, and links wheatonworldwide.com and bekins.com, but it does not establish the legal or ownership relationship to Wheaton World Wide Moving.
No state-register, FMCSA, court, or other government filing was available under the mandatory source restriction; the page provides no printed date, consumer statement, succession or rebranding statement, legal-entity identification, ownership record, or second independently verified business record. It also does not identify a person shared with a separately verified Wheaton World Wide Moving entity.

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 FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods authority. Confirm its current status and the operating carrier before booking.
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.
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.

Other businesses that share an identifier with this company, searched Oct 9, 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.
Each question below was checked against further sources on Oct 14, 2026. The conclusion states only what those sources establish; what remains unverified is stated beside it.

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.
In-state moves are governed by the state, not the FMCSA. This is what State household-goods mover registry shows as of Oct 13, 2026.

Structured accounts from customers who proved their move with a bill of lading or final invoice, a verified email, and a verified phone. No star ratings, no anonymous reviews, and nothing a company can pay to change — how this works.
No verified customer reports yet. Only customers who can document their move may submit one — that keeps the count honest, and it means it grows slowly.
