Interstate household goods carrier registered with FMCSA under USDOT 681016 and MC-317129, based in Tarentum, PA. Record as published in the Motor Carrier Census snapshot of 4 September 2026.

What the federal record says

Weleski Transfer INC holds USDOT number 681016 and operating authority MC-317129. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in Tarentum, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. 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 17 March 1997, 29 years before this snapshot, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 17 April 2026.

With 36 power units and 45 drivers on the filing, 1.3 per truck, this is a mid sized fleet. Companies at this scale generally run scheduled lanes rather than one off trips, and they are the ones most likely to quote a binding estimate with a firm delivery spread. The equipment itemized on the form is 25 trucks, 11 tractors, 25 trailers. The company reported 1,500,000 miles for 2025, which works out at roughly 41,667 miles per power unit. That places it 4th by fleet size among the 261 registered household goods carriers based in Pennsylvania.

Besides household goods the census lists 1 other cargo classification: general freight. 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 Pittsburgh, PA metropolitan area, where 36 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 American Office Installers INC in Cheswick (3.8 miles), Ohlco INC in Saxonburg (7.2 miles), Friendly Movers LLC in Gibsonia (7.6 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.

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.
