Interstate household goods carriers · FMCSA public record
Check a mover against the federal record before you book.
Every interstate moving company has to register with the federal government, carry insurance, and keep its operating authority active. That record is public — it’s just buried in systems built for investigators, not for someone moving once. Look up a company here and see what the record actually says.
Try a company name, or a USDOT number like 76830.

What this is
- A readable window onto FMCSA’s own records: operating authority, insurance filings, safety ratings and out-of-service orders.
- Sourced and dated. Every figure names the federal system it came from and the day it was pulled.
- Free to look up, and free of paid placement. No carrier can pay to change or remove what this site reports about it.
- A starting point that hands you straight back to the government systems, so you can reproduce every check yourself.
What this isn’t
- Not a government site. MoverVerify is independent and has no affiliation with FMCSA or the Department of Transportation.
- Not a review site. We publish no ratings, stars or opinions about service quality — only what the federal record states.
- Not a recommendation. An active authority means a company is registered and insured, not that it will do a good job.
- Not real-time. Federal files are pulled on a schedule and can lag. Confirm anything decision-critical at the source.
How we label a carrier
Three states, defined the same way every time
There’s no score and no stars here. A five-star rating would imply a precision that safety data doesn’t have. Instead every carrier lands in one of three states, drawn strictly from what FMCSA reports.
- Active & Authorized
Active interstate household goods authority on file, with no open out-of-service order, no lapsed insurance filing and no adverse safety rating.
5,718 carriers
- Authorized — Flagged
Operating authority is active, but at least one federal record needs a closer look.
2,632 carriers
-
Federal operating authority for household goods is revoked or no longer active.
10,050 carriers
Complaint counts are shown as their own separate fact and are never folded into these labels — a carrier can be fully authorized and still have complaints on file, and that distinction matters. Read the full definitions.

Movers by home state
Carriers are grouped by the physical address they report to FMCSA. An interstate carrier can move you anywhere — its home state is where it’s based, not the limit of where it operates.
