What the federal record says
Mike Wilhelm Trucking INC holds USDOT number 325475 and operating authority MC-224159. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in Shelbyville, Bedford County, Tennessee. 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 22 August 1988, 38 years before this snapshot, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 30 June 2025.
Mike Wilhelm Trucking INC reports 5 power units and 5 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 5 tractors, 5 trailers. The company reported 480,000 miles for 2023, which works out at roughly 96,000 miles per power unit. That places it 46th by fleet size among the 151 registered household goods carriers based in Tennessee.
Besides household goods the census lists 14 other cargo classifications: general freight, metal sheets, coils, rolls, logs, poles, beams, lumber, building materials, machinery, large objects, intermodal containers, livestock, grain, feed, hay, us mail, commodities dry bulk, 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 Shelbyville, TN micropolitan area, where 3 other registered household goods carriers are based. FMCSA has assigned this carrier a satisfactory safety rating, dated 12 November 2004.
The nearest other registered household goods carriers are Hardison Moving Company LLC in Shelbyville (same ZIP code area), P&H Cutting Edge Lawn Care in Unionville (12.5 miles), Tenacious J Carriers LLC in Bell Buckle (13.1 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.

Before you book Mike Wilhelm Trucking INC
- Check the USDOT number on the quote matches 325475. Brokers routinely quote under one company and hand the job to another.
- Ask for a written binding or not-to-exceed estimate. A non-binding estimate can legally rise, and the carrier may demand up to 110 percent of it at delivery before unloading.
- Confirm valuation coverage. The free option is released value at 60 cents per pound per article, which pays about $60 for a 100 pound dresser.
- Get the same scope priced by at least two of the nearby carriers listed above.
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.
