What the federal record says

Fernando Lopes Trucking INC holds USDOT number 640944 and operating authority MC-630027. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in Brockton, Plymouth County, Massachusetts. 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 14 May 1996, 30 years before this snapshot, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 6 April 2026.

Fernando Lopes Trucking INC reports 3 power units and 3 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 1 truck, 2 tractors, 2 trailers. The company reported 143,107 miles for 2025, which works out at roughly 47,702 miles per power unit. That places it 128th by fleet size among the 243 registered household goods carriers based in Massachusetts.

Besides household goods the census lists 4 other cargo classifications: general freight, fresh produce, meat, refrigerated food. 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 Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH metropolitan area, where 188 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 Kilroy Bros INC in Brockton (same ZIP code area), Sf Trucking LLC in Brockton (same ZIP code area), Hakila & King LLC in Brockton (same ZIP code area). 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.

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.
