Heikes Advanced Storage Systems LLC (Advanced Storage Systems)

What the federal record says

Heikes Advanced Storage Systems LLC trades as Advanced Storage Systems and holds USDOT number 1458820 and operating authority MC-664003. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in Fergus Falls, Otter Tail County, Minnesota. 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 2 February 2006, 20 years before this snapshot, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 3 December 2025.

Heikes Advanced Storage Systems LLC reports 2 power units and 1 driver, 0.5 drivers 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 2 tractors, 79 trailers. The company reported 20,000 miles for 2023, which works out at roughly 10,000 miles per power unit. That places it 58th by fleet size among the 91 registered household goods carriers based in Minnesota.

Besides household goods the census lists 7 other cargo classifications: general freight, driveaway/towaway, logs, poles, beams, lumber, building materials, machinery, large objects, intermodal containers, 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 Fergus Falls, MN micropolitan area, where 1 other registered household goods carrier is 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 Jerome D Anderson in Fergus Falls (same ZIP code area), Tundra Trucking LLC in Cyrus (48.1 miles), MT6 Midwest LLC in Fargo (50.3 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.
