Facts from the FMCSA record that call for a closer look. They are not a finding of wrongdoing. Authority and insurance are last known from May 14, 2026. How this works

MC133500: filed under USDOT 1254524, not this record
Cargo cover filed: amount not published
Green means the FMCSA record shows it. It does not confirm who you are talking to, or that a policy covers your specific load.
More than one company record uses MC133500, MC287481. CROWN MOVING & STORAGE INC OF ILLINOIS (USDOT 1254524, added Jun 3, 2004, authority filed under that record); CROWN MOVING & STORAGE INC OF ILLINOIS (USDOT 1254524, added Jun 3, 2004). FMCSA files the authority and insurance for this docket under USDOT 1254524, so this report does not count them as this company's. FMCSA files the authority and insurance for this docket under this record.Compare the records →
Not a live check. FMCSA has not published a Motus record for this carrier, so authority and insurance show the last known status from May 14, 2026. Confirm on Motus ↗ before booking.
What to verify next
- Confirm authority and insurance on the official Motus record ↗: our copy is the last known status from May 14, 2026. Safety record: SAFER ↗.
- Call back on the number on file, (317) 849-7900, not a number from an email or load board.
- Check that the MC number you were given is MC287481, and that you are dealing with this company record (see the note below).
- MC133500 is listed on this record but filed under USDOT 1254524. If you were given that number, check that company instead.
- Ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
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: amount not published.

Roadside inspections Oct 18, 2024 – Oct 18, 2026
No roadside inspections in this period.
How these rates are calculated
Period: Oct 18, 2024 – Oct 18, 2026. Vehicle rate = vehicle inspections with a vehicle out-of-service order ÷ vehicle inspections (levels 1, 2, 5 and 6). Driver rate uses levels 1, 2, 3 and 6. The Indiana average covers 61,530 vehicle and 111,152 driver inspections of all Indiana-based carriers in this period. It mixes every type of operation, so compare with care; rates based on a handful of inspections say little. FMCSA's own SMS measures are weighted differently: SMS profile ↗ · SAFER snapshot ↗
Violations in FMCSA's SMS last 24 months
No violations recorded in roadside inspections in the last 24 months.
Crashes Oct 18, 2024 – Oct 18, 2026
No reportable crashes in this period.

Questions about CROWN MOVING & STORAGE INC
What does CROWN MOVING & STORAGE INC's operating authority allow?
MC287481: Common carrier (may haul regulated property for hire for the general public).
Which information about CROWN MOVING & STORAGE INC is old or missing?
Operating authority is the last known status from the FMCSA snapshot of May 14, 2026, not a current check. Insurance filings are from the same May 14, 2026 snapshot. 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. The MCS-150 was last updated Sep 11, 2024, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
What should I verify before booking CROWN MOVING & STORAGE INC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 316629. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (317) 849-7900, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC287481, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
Other companies using (317) 849-7900
A shared number is common for related companies, dispatch services and family businesses. It is not proof of fraud, but it is worth knowing which company you are dealing with.
