What the federal record says
Intrepid Movers of Southern Illinois holds USDOT number 4229662 and operating authority MC-1636183. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in Murphysboro, Jackson 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 23 April 2024, 2 years before this snapshot, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 5 December 2025.
The MCS-150 filing reports no power units and 2 drivers, a pattern usually seen where a carrier works through leased equipment or agents rather than its own trucks. The equipment itemized on the form is 1 trailer. No annual mileage figure is recorded on the current filing. That places it 277th by fleet size among the 279 registered household goods carriers based in Illinois.
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 in the Carbondale, IL micropolitan area, where 0 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 Southern Illinois Movers INC in Du Quoin (17.3 miles), Universal Moving Solutions INC in Herrin (18.2 miles), Aero-Speed Expedited Delivery Services LLC in Christopher (21.5 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.

Figures are reproduced as the federal files recorded them on the snapshot dates above and may have changed since.
