Partially matched
Why
FMCSA registration date (1890-01-01) predates the claimed year (1926). This is unusual but not necessarily incorrect.

FMCSA SAFER System View source
Result
Matched
Why
FMCSA records confirm active operating authority and insurance on file ($1,000,000 BIPD).

Claim checks compare publicly stated claims against named public records. Results reflect what is documented in those records at the time of retrieval. A “did not match” result does not necessarily indicate intentional misrepresentation — it may reflect outdated website content, differences in how information is reported, or limitations of the public record.

Why only Google reviews? From our experience in moving company marketing, Google reviews are the hardest to fake. Google's review moderation is the most aggressive among major platforms, making Google ratings the most reliable single indicator of genuine customer sentiment. Other review platforms vary widely in their ability to detect and remove inauthentic reviews.
