Mark Spangler (Lone Wolf Trucking)

Interstate household goods carrier registered with FMCSA under USDOT 494817 and MC-256289, based in Alamogordo, NM. Record as published in the Motor Carrier Census snapshot of 4 September 2026.

What the federal record says

Mark Spangler trades as Lone Wolf Trucking and holds USDOT number 494817 and operating authority MC-256289. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in Alamogordo, Otero County, New Mexico. 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 18 August 1992, 34 years before this snapshot, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 30 April 2026.

This is a one truck operation. The filing reports a single power unit and 1 driver, which is the most common size in the whole directory. The equipment itemized on the form is 1 truck. The company reported 16,000 miles for 2024, which works out at roughly 16,000 miles per power unit. That places it 27th by fleet size among the 31 registered household goods carriers based in New Mexico.

Household goods is the only cargo classification on the record, so this is a dedicated moving operation rather than a freight carrier that also takes household work. The registered address falls in the Alamogordo, NM micropolitan area, where 3 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 Pt Moving INC in Alamogordo (same ZIP code area), B & W Transfer & Storage INC in Alamogordo (same ZIP code area), Telkotrade Corporation in Alamogordo (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.

Before you book Mark Spangler

  • Check the USDOT number on the quote matches 494817. Brokers routinely quote under one company and hand the job to another.
  • Ask for a written binding or not-to-exceed estimate. A non-binding estimate can legally rise, and the carrier may demand up to 110 percent of it at delivery before unloading.
  • 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.

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.
