Pennsylvania Moving & Household Goods Intelligence

The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission regulates intrastate Household Goods carriers that move between points in Pennsylvania. Active PUC Household Goods carriers are not brokers. A Utility Code is not automatically a Carrier ID. Pennsylvania state authority is not FMCSA interstate authority. An office address is not approved service territory. Insurance evidence is separate from authority. A docketed case is not an adverse finding. Interstate movers must be researched through federal FMCSA evidence. This page does not rank movers and does not publish a Trust Score.

Grain: Official active Household Goods Operators List row (Utility Code)
Coverage: Statewide PA PUC list of active Household Goods Carriers, not brokers
Calculation: 269 list rows collapse to 267 distinct Utility Codes
Caveat: List rows are not unique companies. Utility Status is not automatically current Household Goods authority. Retrieval is not sourceAsOf.

Utility Code is not automatically Carrier ID

Utility Code identifies the PUC utility entity. Carrier ID, often an A-number, and Application Number on an authority row identify operating authority. In this snapshot they differ on 111 utilities. Do not call either “license number.” PUC consumer guidance says movers must display their PUC number in advertising; taxi marking uses PUC A-#. This page keeps both identifiers.

Carriers are not brokers

The operators list is active Household Goods Carriers. Broker of Household Goods in Use is a separate PUC authority. No official current broker universe was acquired (OPEN_SEARCH_ONLY). Search-only is not zero brokers. Truck authority rows on these utilities are not extra movers.

Insurance evidence is not authority

Utility-detail insurance tables were acquired: 537 rows. Current cargo observations (Form H Received, no past lapse): 260. Current liability observations (Form E Received, no past lapse): 261. Form K is cancellation. A historical lapse row is not license status. Active authority is not automatically current insurance. Confirm on PUC insurance guidance.

Dockets are not findings

Bounded docket metadata on active HHG utilities: 1,923 rows / 1,922 distinct docket numbers. A docketed case is not an adverse finding. An application docket is not a complaint. An active case is not a violation. PUC complaint intake is OPEN_SEARCH_ONLY; missing bulk is not zero complaints. Enforcement census is OPEN_SEARCH_ONLY. See PUC complaints.

State authority is not federal authority

PA PUC Household Goods Carrier is not a USDOT number. Carrier ID is not an MC number. Exact PA PUC→USDOT crosswalks: 0. Exact PA PUC→MC crosswalks: 0. Recorded Pennsylvania headquarters is not PUC authority. Interstate moves crossing state lines are FMCSA, not this roster.

Consumer moving rules are jurisdiction rules

Written estimate required; tariff basis; hourly if 40 miles or less; weight/mileage if over 40 miles.
If actual bill exceeds estimate by more than 10%, pay estimate plus 10% or $25, whichever is greater; remainder within 15 days after delivery.
Basic cargo protection: 60 cents per pound per article unless additional protection purchased.
Information for Shippers form before signing. These rules are not mover quality scores.
