What the federal record says

Dsv Road Transport INC holds USDOT number 30161 and operating authority MC-124692. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in Missoula, Missoula County, Montana. Its household goods authority is on file as common carrier of household goods and contract carrier of household goods and motor 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 1 June 1974, 52 years before this snapshot, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 2 February 2026.

The filing reports 421 power units and 340 drivers, 0.8 per truck. A fleet this size operates as a network, and the truck that turns up at your door is often run by a local agent under the parent name rather than by the parent itself. The equipment itemized on the form is 21 trucks, 387 tractors, 754 trailers. The company reported 13,112,323 miles for 2025, which works out at roughly 31,146 miles per power unit. That places it 1st by fleet size among the 31 registered household goods carriers based in Montana.

Besides household goods the census lists 16 other cargo classifications: general freight, metal sheets, coils, rolls, motor vehicles, logs, poles, beams, lumber, building materials, machinery, large objects, liquids/gases, intermodal containers, oilfield equipment, grain, feed, hay, chemicals, commodities dry bulk, beverages, paper products, farm supplies, 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 Missoula, MT metropolitan area, where 4 other registered household goods carriers are based. FMCSA has assigned this carrier a satisfactory safety rating, dated 10 November 2010.

The nearest other registered household goods carriers are Montana Transfer & Storage INC in Missoula (same ZIP code area), All Lanes Moving & Storage INC in Missoula (same ZIP code area), Montana Movers LLC in Missoula (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.

  • 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.

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.

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.
