What the federal record says

Efe LLC trades as McMinnville Moving & Storage and holds USDOT number 3149869 and operating authority MC-104233. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in McMinnville, Warren County, Tennessee. 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 18 June 2018, 8 years before this snapshot, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 20 December 2025.

Efe LLC reports 2 power units and 2 drivers, 1 driver 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 2 trucks. The company reported 24,000 miles for 2025, which works out at roughly 12,000 miles per power unit. That places it 78th by fleet size among the 151 registered household goods carriers based in Tennessee.

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 McMinnville, TN micropolitan area, where 0 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 Kvg Transport LLC in Hillsboro (21.5 miles), Kincaid's Moving & Storage Company INC in Murfreesboro (36.3 miles), Tenacious J Carriers LLC in Bell Buckle (37.4 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.

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.
