Where this came from

Complaint counts and the authorization sentence are read from FMCSA's page on FMCSA's household goods mover search, whose snapshot is dated August 28, 2026. Docket status and insurance filings come from FMCSA's Licensing & Insurance file; fleet counts and the safety rating come from the company census. Both are republished daily by the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Numbers here are the government's, not ours. If you believe a record is wrong, the company itself can challenge complaints inside NCCDB.
