Is O'Briens Moving and Storage licensed?
O'Briens Moving and Storage is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 268267) as an intrastate carrier: it may move you within Pennsylvania, but a move across a state line would have to go through a carrier holding interstate authority, often a van line the company works for as an agent. Ask whose USDOT number would be on the bill of lading.
It has no safety rating on record in 40 years of registration (since 1986): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against O'Briens Moving and Storage, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 21 trucks and 21 drivers, and the registration dates from 1986.
