No risk signals found
How risk signals workNothing in the FMCSA record matched our risk signals. That is not a guarantee, and it does not confirm who you are talking to; follow the checks below.
Green means the FMCSA record shows it. It does not confirm who you are talking to, or that a policy covers your specific load.
What to verify next
- Confirm authority and insurance on the official Motus record ↗. Safety record: SAFER ↗.
- Call back on the number on file, (941) 584-9070, not a number from an email or load board.
- Check that the MC number you were given is FF6085.
- Ask for proof of the broker bond or trust fund (BMC-84/85) of $75,000.
Bond & insurance on file
Liability (BI&PD) pays for injury and damage to other people and property; it does not cover the freight. Cargo insurance covers the freight. FMCSA only requires cargo filings from household goods carriers and freight forwarders, so most carriers file none: ask for a cargo certificate that fits your load. Cargo cover filed: $5,000.

Confirm current filings: Motus record ↗ and ask the insurer for a certificate naming you as holder.

Brokers must keep $75,000 of financial security (a BMC-84 bond or BMC-85 trust fund) on file with FMCSA.
What does BEKINS A-1 MOVERS INC's operating authority allow?
FF6085: Freight forwarder (may assemble and consolidate shipments and arrange their transportation, taking responsibility for them).
Which information about BEKINS A-1 MOVERS INC is old or missing?
There are too few vehicle inspections in the last 24 months to judge the out-of-service rate. FMCSA has not issued a safety rating, which means no compliance review is on record, not that the carrier is unsafe.
