Louisiana household-goods common carrier certificate

Check the LPSC certificate

LPSC Motor Carrier household-goods guidance says a move from one Louisiana location to another Louisiana location is regulated by the Commission. La. R.S. 45:164(E) requires an intrastate household-goods mover to secure a common carrier certificate before moving household goods. A relocation company or third-party service that uses a carrier without that certificate can be cited. The May 8, 2015 staff letter states that point. It is not a census of movers.

Registered household-goods movers can be looked up in the LPSC public portal. That portal was not downloaded. No active-certificate rows, certificate numbers, or current statuses were acquired. Commission staff can confirm outstanding fines or citations for a named carrier on request. That request path is not a public enforcement file. Call the Transportation Division at 225-342-4439 or 888-342-5717, or write Post Office Box 91154, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70821-9154.

Written estimates, insurance, and interstate moves

The General Order dated July 12, 2013 says every customer has the right to a written estimate from a household-goods mover. A waiver has to tell the customer about that right. The order is a consumer rule. It is not a filed-tariff corpus, not a quote, and not a statewide price. No tariff documents were acquired.

No published Louisiana cargo or liability dollar minimum, and no provider-level current insurance status, was acquired. A missing insurance figure is not zero coverage and not proof that a carrier is insured today.

A move that leaves Louisiana is an FMCSA interstate move. LPSC points consumers to 1-888-368-7238 and protectyourmove.gov. FMCSA has a separate interstate complaint path. A USDOT or federal MC number does not establish a current LPSC certificate, and an LPSC certificate does not substitute for FMCSA authority on a move that crosses a state line. No exact state-to-federal bridges were acquired.

Complaints and enforcement

The Transportation Division takes household-goods complaints and says an investigation will be opened. The household-goods complaint form is intake. No provider-level complaint rows or outcomes were acquired. A complaint is not a finding. Individual transportation orders exist, including the written-estimate order. A complete household-goods orders or revocation corpus was not acquired. Enforcement capability is PARTIAL. No provider-level adverse rows were attached, including by name.
