What the federal record says

Braun Moving INC holds USDOT number 658578 and operating authority MC-218797. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in New Milford, Connecticut. 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 11 September 1996, 29 years before this snapshot, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 11 February 2026.

The filing reports 10 power units and 8 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 7 trucks, 3 tractors, 3 trailers. The company reported 112,779 miles for 2025, which works out at roughly 11,278 miles per power unit. That places it 13th by fleet size among the 121 registered household goods carriers based in Connecticut.

Besides household goods the census lists 5 other cargo classifications: general freight, metal sheets, coils, rolls, motor vehicles, machinery, large objects, paper products. 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 outside any metropolitan or micropolitan statistical area. FMCSA has assigned this carrier a satisfactory safety rating, dated 22 October 2001.

Where this data comes from

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.
