Is Buehler Companies licensed for interstate moves?
Yes. Buehler Companies holds active interstate operating authority (MC519829, status active) on USDOT 1353870, declares household goods as cargo, and has not been assigned a safety rating, which means no compliance review has been completed; that is the position of most carriers on the register and is not a mark against it.
As an independent carrier, Buehler Companies is the company that quotes, loads, drives and delivers under its own number. The USDOT on your bill of lading should be 1353870; a different number means another carrier has been brought in, which is something to ask about before loading day rather than after.

Before you book Buehler Companies: six questions
Ask these on the first call. The answers matter more than the ranking, and an established carrier answers all six without hesitation.
- Will your own employees load, drive and deliver, or is the far end subcontracted?
- Will my shipment be consolidated with other households, and how does that change the delivery window?
- Is the estimate binding, non-binding or binding not-to-exceed, and was it based on a video or in-home survey?
- What is the delivery window in writing, and what do you pay if you miss it?
- What does full-value protection cost on my shipment, and what is the deductible?
- Is USDOT 1353870 the number that will appear on my bill of lading?
Then run the six checks in how to check a moving company, and read the nine red flags so you recognise the ones that do not apply here.
