What the federal record says
John Heims Truck & Transport LLC holds USDOT number 3506563 and operating authority MC-1159263. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in Labadieville, Assumption Parish, Louisiana. 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 17 October 2020, 5 years before this snapshot, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 6 December 2025.
John Heims Truck & Transport LLC reports 5 power units and 5 drivers, 1 driver per truck. At that size a long haul booking usually means one crew and one truck for the whole trip, so dates are tight and a delay at the origin runs through the whole schedule. The equipment itemized on the form is 5 tractors, 2 trailers. The company reported 25,000 miles for 2024, which works out at roughly 5,000 miles per power unit. That places it 10th by fleet size among the 39 registered household goods carriers based in Louisiana.
Besides household goods the census lists 25 other cargo classifications: general freight, metal sheets, coils, rolls, motor vehicles, driveaway/towaway, logs, poles, beams, lumber, building materials, machinery, large objects, fresh produce, intermodal containers, passengers, oilfield equipment, grain, feed, hay, coal/coke, meat, garbage, refuse, trash, us mail, chemicals, commodities dry bulk, refrigerated food, beverages, paper products, utility, farm supplies, construction, water well. 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 Baton Rouge, LA metropolitan area, where 7 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 G&J Land & Marine Food Distributors INC in Morgan City (7.2 miles), All My Sons of New Orleans LLC in St Rose (42.6 miles), All My Sons Moving & Storage of Baton Rouge LLC in Baton Rouge (44.6 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 John Heims Truck & Transport LLC
- Check the USDOT number on the quote matches 3506563. 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.
What this kind of move costs
A full service van line is the most expensive of the eight methods this site ranks. These are our national cost bands for a two bedroom home, off peak, from cost by distance. Peak season, June through August, adds 30 to 40 percent.

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.
