Is FMS licensed?
FMS holds active interstate operating authority on the federal register (USDOT 839658, MC370777), so it may carry household goods across state lines under its own number.
It has no safety rating on record in 27 years of registration (since 1999): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against FMS, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 5 trucks and 3 drivers, and the registration dates from 1999.

How FMS operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 3 interstate beyond 100 air miles. Read plainly, every driver it files works beyond 100 miles, the profile of a long-distance operation.
- Commercial driver's licences
- None of the 3 drivers on its latest filing holds a CDL. A CDL is required to drive a truck rated over 26,000 lb, so on its own filing FMS runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- 5 power units on file (5 owned), all straight trucks.
- Miles driven
- 375,000 miles reported for 2025, about 75,000 per truck.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods, plus general freight and passengers.

Before you book FMS
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC370777
FMS can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC370777. If the written estimate names a van line or another carrier, that company is the one legally responsible for your goods, so check its number too.
- 2
Ask which truck and crew you get
FMS had 8 roadside inspections in 24 months and 0 vehicle out-of-service orders (0.0% against 19.0%). The record covers the company; the truck and crew on your day are what you are buying.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No FMS driver holds a CDL, so its trucks are rated 26,000 lb or less. For a three- or four-bedroom home, ask how many trucks or trips the estimate assumes; on an hourly job a second trip is paid time.
- 4
Judge the estimate against $505 – $831
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Windsor at $505 – $831 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $554 – $738. A surveyed, written estimate from FMS far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
