What the federal files say about Rhode Island
The FMCSA Motor Carrier Census lists 151 active interstate for hire carriers with a Rhode Island address that tick household goods on their MCS-150 form. Of those, 21 also carry active household goods operating authority in the federal licensing files, which is 14 percent. The rest can legally haul freight across state lines but not a household for hire.
Between them the 21 authorized carriers report 115 power units and 127 drivers. The median fleet is 3 power units, and 15 of them report three trucks or fewer. The largest is Rivas Linehaul INC of Cranston at 40 power units and 40 drivers. 9 of the 21 filed or updated an MCS-150 during 2026, so the rest of the fleet numbers on this page are older self reported figures.
Registration addresses cluster: 100 percent of Rhode Island movers sit in the single metro listed below, led by Providence-Warwick, RI-MA with 21.

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.
