New Jersey Moving & Warehousing Intelligence

What authority do I need?

This is research guidance, not legal advice. Which credential matters depends on the move.

• Move within New Jersey. New Jersey Public Movers and Warehousemen authority matters. Verify a specific record on the official RGB portal.
• Move from New Jersey to another state. FMCSA interstate household-goods authority matters. Verify USDOT / MC or research federal NJ headquarters profiles.
• Warehouse / storage. New Jersey warehouse authority (PW) may matter. PW-only is not mover authority.
• Combined moving + storage. PM / PW / PC class semantics matter. PC is combined authority; it is still not FMCSA interstate authority.

A company can be NJ-authorized for intrastate moves, federally authorized for interstate household-goods moves, both, warehouse-only in New Jersey, or not resolved in our current NJ state roster. FMCSA ACTIVE is not NJ licensed. NJ licensed is not interstate authorized.

PM / PW / PC state authority

Official current terminology from the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs Public Movers and Warehousemen FAQ. Counts are not shown because the complete statewide roster was not acquired.

Current complete statewide license roster: SOURCE_AVAILABLE_BY_REQUEST. Public verification: OPEN_SEARCH_ONLY. Source search can verify a specific record. Absence from our dataset does not establish no NJ authority. Official RGB verification · Official FAQ · PMW home.

Federal interstate mover intelligence

Federal interstate authority and New Jersey intrastate authority are separate.

Federal interstate authority and New Jersey intrastate authority are separate. FMCSA ACTIVE is not NJ licensed. NJ licensed is not interstate authorized. These figures, when available, count MoveTrustHub directory profiles keyed by USDOT — not NJ PM/PW/PC licenses.

• NJ-headquartered publishable federal profiles: 269 Headquarters is not a service area and is not an NJ state license.
• Research tools: Federal NJ headquarters directory · USDOT / MC lookup.

Public enforcement source inventory

Official source-level enforcement record. Profile identity is not confirmed unless separately linked. These rows are not company profiles and are not a ranking.

Final disposition vs allegation

Other DCA / OCP enforcement

Broader filings index coverage: PARTIAL_SOURCE_COVERAGE. The acquired corpus is not every New Jersey moving action. SharePoint index access was blocked; one deterministic final-order PDF was acquired.

Complaint history

Coverage: OPEN_SEARCH_ONLY. Complaint history may be reviewed through license verification. No complete machine-readable export was acquired. Complaint is not a violation. No published complaint count does not mean zero complaints. There is no complaint score and no complaint ranking. Official verification.

Tariffs

Coverage: SOURCE_AVAILABLE_BY_REQUEST. New Jersey intrastate movers operate under state tariff and rate rules. Tariff evidence is rate/rule evidence. It is not a quality score. A filed rate is not automatically the final invoice for a specific move. MoveTrustHub does not publish cheapest or most expensive movers.

Insurance / financial responsibility

Official licensure framework in the acquired PMW material includes cargo, vehicle, storage, workers' compensation. Coverage of current certificates: SOURCE_AVAILABLE_BY_REQUEST. State license existence is not proof of current insurance in this snapshot. This snapshot does not invent policy numbers or expiration dates.

Warehouse locations / authority

PW-only is warehouse authority, not mover authority. PC is combined authority where the official definition supports it. A warehouse location is not automatically a mover headquarters. This page does not create warehouse profile pages from uncertain source data.

Public source inventory

What we don't yet know

• Complete PM/PW/PC machine-readable statewide roster is pending official request.

• No official roster field currently acquired tying NJ license to USDOT/MC.

• DCA/OCP enforcement history is partial (SharePoint index Incapsula-blocked).

Labels used: Unknown / request-only / search-only / partial coverage. Missing evidence is never converted to zero.

Current snapshot

Current snapshot of Operation Safe Move 2024 and 2025 official releases, one 2024 final-order PDF, and the RGB verification architecture. This is a baseline, not a change feed. Future monitoring may cover new NOVs, final dispositions, state license status, and state/federal identity resolution. This page does not generate historical alerts.
