What the federal record says
Glacier State Moving & Storage INC holds USDOT number 659207 and operating authority MC-118491. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in Fairbanks, Alaska. Its household goods authority is on file as common carrier of household goods, which is the grant that allows a company to move a household across a state line for money. The USDOT record was created on 16 September 1996, 29 years before this snapshot, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 28 July 2025.
The filing reports 12 power units and 10 drivers, 0.8 per truck. A fleet in that range can usually keep two or three long haul jobs running at once, which is the point where a mover starts being able to hold a delivery window rather than a delivery month. The equipment itemized on the form is 10 trucks, 2 tractors, 4 trailers. The company reported 20,000 miles for 2024, which works out at roughly 1,667 miles per power unit. That places it 10th by fleet size among the 23 registered household goods carriers based in Alaska.
Household goods is the only cargo classification on the record, so this is a dedicated moving operation rather than a freight carrier that also takes household work. The registered address falls outside any metropolitan or micropolitan statistical area. FMCSA has assigned this carrier a satisfactory safety rating, dated 30 November 2005.
The nearest other registered household goods carriers are Sourdough Express INC in Fairbanks (same ZIP code area), Sourdough Transfer INC in Fairbanks (same ZIP code area), Borealis Moving & Storage INC in Fairbanks (same ZIP code area). Distances are between ZIP code centers, so they are approximate. Getting three written estimates from companies in the same area is the single cheapest thing you can do to avoid being overcharged.

Before you book Glacier State Moving & Storage INC
- Check the USDOT number on the quote matches 659207. Brokers routinely quote under one company and hand the job to another.
- Ask for a written binding or not-to-exceed estimate. A non-binding estimate can legally rise, and the carrier may demand up to 110 percent of it at delivery before unloading.
- Confirm valuation coverage. The free option is released value at 60 cents per pound per article, which pays about $60 for a 100 pound dresser.
- Get the same scope priced by at least two of the nearby carriers listed above.
Complaint history is not published here
FMCSA records household goods complaints in the National Consumer Complaint Database. That database has no bulk or export route open to the public, so no complaint counts appear on this site. Check the company yourself before you book. The FMCSA mover search returns complaint counts for the past three years alongside the registration record.
Our walkthrough of those lookups is on the FMCSA SAFER mover lookup guide.

Every company on these pages is registered with FMCSA. Registration is a filing requirement, not an endorsement, a licence to a standard, an approval, or a quality check by FMCSA or by this site. Fleet counts, driver counts and mileage are self reported by the carrier on form MCS-150 and are only as current as its last filing. Figures are reproduced as the federal files recorded them on the snapshot dates above and may have changed since.
