Tbm Carriers INC
Interstate household goods carrier registered with FMCSA under USDOT 835330 and MC-372195, based in Calexico, CA. Record as published in the Motor Carrier Census snapshot of 4 September 2026.
What the federal record says
Tbm Carriers INC holds USDOT number 835330 and operating authority MC-372195. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in Calexico, Imperial County, California. Its household goods authority is on file as common carrier of household goods and contract 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 25 October 1999, 26 years before this snapshot, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 1 May 2026.
The filing reports 196 power units and 295 drivers, 1.5 per truck. A fleet this size operates as a network, and the truck that turns up at your door is often run by a local agent under the parent name rather than by the parent itself. The equipment itemized on the form is 196 tractors, 936 trailers. The company reported 32,939,693 miles for 2025, which works out at roughly 168,060 miles per power unit. That places it 1st by fleet size among the 416 registered household goods carriers based in California.
Besides household goods the census lists 12 other cargo classifications: general freight, metal sheets, coils, rolls, motor vehicles, driveaway/towaway, building materials, machinery, large objects, intermodal containers, meat, refrigerated food, beverages, paper products, construction. A carrier with a broad cargo list is running household moves alongside other freight, which can mean better rates on a backhaul and less predictable scheduling. The registered address falls in the El Centro, CA metropolitan area, where 1 other registered household goods carrier is based. FMCSA has not assigned this carrier a safety rating, which is normal: most registered carriers have never been through a compliance review.
The nearest other registered household goods carriers are Pioneer Vns INC in Imperial (15.3 miles), El Yaqui Transport LLC in Somerton (50.7 miles), Gale Transfer INC in Yuma (52.8 miles). 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.

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.
