Hawaiian Ocean Transport INC (American Relocations Aff Hawaiian Ocean Trucking LLC)

What the federal record says

Hawaiian Ocean Transport INC trades as American Relocations Aff Hawaiian Ocean Trucking LLC and holds USDOT number 567635 and operating authority MC-277281. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in Fife, Pierce County, Washington. Its household goods authority is on file as common carrier of household goods and contract carrier of household goods and motor 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 29 June 1994, 32 years before this snapshot, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 16 March 2026.

Hawaiian Ocean Transport 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. The company reported 124,000 miles for 2024, which works out at roughly 24,800 miles per power unit. That places it 58th by fleet size among the 148 registered household goods carriers based in Washington.

Besides household goods the census lists 13 other cargo classifications: general freight, metal sheets, coils, rolls, motor vehicles, logs, poles, beams, lumber, building materials, machinery, large objects, fresh produce, meat, chemicals, refrigerated food, 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 Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA metropolitan area, where 84 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 Continental Van Lines INC in Tacoma (same ZIP code area), Alaska Coast Transport INC in Tacoma (same ZIP code area), American Fast Freight INC in Fife (same ZIP code area). 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.
