Is NCS Moving Services licensed?

Ask whose USDOT number would be on the bill of lading.
It has no safety rating on record in 18 years of registration (since 2008): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against NCS Moving Services, and not a mark for it.
