What the federal record says
Professional Movers INC holds USDOT number 266582 and operating authority MC-178368. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in Walled Lake, Oakland County, Michigan. Its household goods authority is on file as common carrier of household goods and contract 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 22 November 1985, 40 years before this snapshot, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 23 February 2026.
The filing reports 17 power units and 15 drivers, 0.9 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 10 trucks, 7 tractors, 18 trailers. The company reported 357,788 miles for 2025, which works out at roughly 21,046 miles per power unit. That places it 11th by fleet size among the 130 registered household goods carriers based in Michigan.
Besides household goods the census lists 5 other cargo classifications: general freight, building materials, chemicals, paper products, construction. 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 Detroit-Warren-Dearborn, MI metropolitan area, where 60 other registered household goods carriers are based. FMCSA has assigned this carrier a satisfactory safety rating, dated 5 November 1996.
The nearest other registered household goods carriers are Matrix Transportation INC in Wixom (4.1 miles), SE Michigan Storage INC in Milford (6 miles), University Moving & Storage Company in Farmingtn Hls (7 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 Professional Movers INC
- Check the USDOT number on the quote matches 266582. 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.

- Company records: FMCSA Motor Carrier Census (MCMIS Company Census File), snapshot 4 September 2026. Work of the US federal government, public domain.
- Operating authority: FMCSA Licensing and Insurance carrier file (data as of 14 May 2026, the final release of that file) and the Motus operating authority file (snapshot 5 September 2026), which replaced it.
- Geography: US Census Bureau 2023 ZIP Code Tabulation Area gazetteer, 2020 ZCTA to county relationship file, and the 2023 metropolitan area delineation. ZIP centroid precision.
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.
