What the federal record says
Lewis & Michael Moving & Storage INC holds USDOT number 728239 and operating authority MC-333311. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio. Its household goods authority is on file as 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 4 February 1998, 28 years before this snapshot, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 2 October 2025.
Lewis & Michael Moving & Storage INC reports 3 power units and 4 drivers, 1.3 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 3 trucks. The company reported 30 miles for 2024, which works out at roughly 10 miles per power unit. That places it 101st by fleet size among the 199 registered household goods carriers based in Ohio.
Besides household goods the census lists 16 other cargo classifications: general freight, metal sheets, coils, rolls, motor vehicles, driveaway/towaway, logs, poles, beams, lumber, building materials, livestock, grain, feed, hay, meat, garbage, refuse, trash, commodities dry bulk, refrigerated food, 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 Columbus, OH metropolitan area, where 36 other registered household goods carriers are based. FMCSA has assigned this carrier a satisfactory safety rating, dated 11 September 2004.
The nearest other registered household goods carriers are Accelerated Moving and Storage INC in Columbus (same ZIP code area), Sosad Truckin LLC in Columbus (same ZIP code area), Joe M Garbuglio in Columbus (3.9 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.

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.
