Severe's Towing & Recovery LLC

What the federal record says

Severe's Towing & Recovery LLC holds USDOT number 3777236 and operating authority MC-1350816. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in Conneaut, Ashtabula County, 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 6 December 2021, 4 years before this snapshot, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 8 August 2025.

Severe's Towing & Recovery LLC reports 4 power units and 6 drivers, 1.5 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 4 tractors. The company reported 10,000 miles for 2024, which works out at roughly 2,500 miles per power unit. That places it 92nd by fleet size among the 199 registered household goods carriers based in Ohio.

Besides household goods the census lists 27 other cargo classifications: general freight, metal sheets, coils, rolls, motor vehicles, driveaway/towaway, logs, poles, beams, lumber, building materials, mobile homes, machinery, large objects, fresh produce, liquids/gases, intermodal containers, oilfield equipment, livestock, grain, feed, hay, coal/coke, meat, garbage, refuse, trash, us mail, chemicals, commodities dry bulk, refrigerated food, beverages, paper products, utility, farm supplies, construction, water well. 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 Cleveland, OH metropolitan area, where 37 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 Truesdell Brothers Moving LLC in West Ashtabula (11.3 miles), State to State Moving CORP in Erie (24.4 miles), Search 1 Media LLC in Erie (29.5 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.
