Cross Reliable Operations LLC (Cross)

Interstate household goods carrier registered with FMCSA under USDOT 4563031 and MC-1813927, based in Lansing, IL. Record as published in the Motor Carrier Census snapshot of 4 September 2026.

What the federal record says

Cross Reliable Operations LLC trades as Cross and holds USDOT number 4563031 and operating authority MC-1813927. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in Lansing, Cook County, Illinois. 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 8 April 2026, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 8 April 2026.

The MCS-150 filing reports no power units and 8 drivers, a pattern usually seen where a carrier works through leased equipment or agents rather than its own trucks. No annual mileage figure is recorded on the current filing. That places it 276th by fleet size among the 279 registered household goods carriers based in Illinois.

Besides household goods the census lists 1 other cargo classification: general freight. 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 Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN metropolitan area, where 246 other registered household goods carriers are 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 Kck Lawn Care and Snow Removal LLC in Lansing (same ZIP code area), Stanford Van Lines INC in Thornton (2.7 miles), Tebah Roy Fona in Chicago Hts (4.6 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.

Before you book Cross Reliable Operations LLC

  • Check the USDOT number on the quote matches 4563031. Brokers routinely quote under one company and hand the job to another.

  • 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.

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.
