What the federal record says

Boxcar Trucking Services LLC holds USDOT number 4321838 and operating authority MC-1686317. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in Hillsboro, Ohio. 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 12 November 2024, 1 years before this snapshot, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 6 November 2025.

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, 1 trailer. The company reported 1 miles for 2024, which works out at roughly 1 miles per power unit. That places it 149th by fleet size among the 199 registered household goods carriers based in Ohio.

Besides household goods the census lists 2 other cargo classifications: general freight, fresh produce. 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 outside any metropolitan or micropolitan statistical area. 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 Sebastian Moving SW Ohio LLC in Sabina (24.3 miles), Herlihy Moving and Storage INC in Chillicothe (34.5 miles), Eagle Moving and Storage LLP in Milford (35.3 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.

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.
