Tidewater Moving and Hauling LLC (College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving)
Interstate household goods carrier registered with FMCSA under USDOT 2929288 and MC-1077820, based in Norfolk, VA. Record as published in the Motor Carrier Census snapshot of 4 September 2026.
What the federal record says
Tidewater Moving and Hauling LLC trades as College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving and holds USDOT number 2929288 and operating authority MC-1077820. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in Norfolk, Norfolk city, Virginia. 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 15 September 2016, 9 years before this snapshot, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 31 December 2025.
The filing reports 9 power units and 4 drivers, 0.4 per truck. A fleet in that range can usually keep two or three long haul jobs running at once, which is the point where a mover starts being able to hold a delivery window rather than a delivery month. The equipment itemized on the form is 9 trucks. The company reported 250,000 miles for 2025, which works out at roughly 27,778 miles per power unit. That places it 51st by fleet size among the 274 registered household goods carriers based in Virginia.
Besides household goods the census lists 7 other cargo classifications: general freight, building materials, garbage, refuse, trash, commodities dry bulk, beverages, paper products, 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 Virginia Beach-Chesapeake-Norfolk, VA-NC metropolitan area, where 50 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 Academy Van & Storage Companyinc in Norfolk (same ZIP code area), Security Storage & Van Company of Norfolk Va INC in Norfolk (2.7 miles), O K Moving & Storage Company INC in Norfolk (2.7 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.
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.
