Tri-City United INC (Larsen Transfer Company)

What the federal record says

Tri-City United INC trades as Larsen Transfer Company and holds USDOT number 26510 and operating authority MC-581. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in Richland, Benton County, Washington. 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 1 June 1974, 52 years before this snapshot, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 13 February 2025.

The filing reports 8 power units and 7 drivers, 0.9 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 4 trucks, 4 tractors, 5 trailers. The company reported 75,345 miles for 2024, which works out at roughly 9,418 miles per power unit. That places it 36th by fleet size among the 148 registered household goods carriers based in Washington.

Household goods is the only cargo classification on the record, so this is a dedicated moving operation rather than a freight carrier that also takes household work. The registered address falls in the Kennewick-Richland, WA metropolitan area, where 3 other registered household goods carriers are based. FMCSA has assigned this carrier a satisfactory safety rating, dated 8 December 1987.

The nearest other registered household goods carriers are Speedy Movers LLC in Richland (same ZIP code area), Pack IT Up Moving LLC in Kennewick (16.3 miles), Help-U-Move INC in Pasco (18.6 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.
