What does the FMCSA Household Goods Complaints Scraper return?

๐Ÿ“ฆ FMCSA Household Goods Complaints Scraper

๐Ÿš€ Export moving company complaint records in seconds. 58 fields per carrier, 13 complaint categories, four calendar years of history, and the SAFER safety snapshot in the same row.

Every interstate moving company in the United States has to register with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, and every consumer complaint that FMCSA rules actionable lands in the National Consumer Complaint Database. FMCSA publishes the roll up of those complaints on its Protect Your Move mover record pages, one carrier at a time, with no export and no API. This Actor walks that register for you and returns it as a table.

Each row joins two public FMCSA surfaces: the Protect Your Move carrier record (identity, address, fleet, safety rating, and the household goods complaint history broken down by category and by year) and the SAFER Company Snapshot (legal name, DBA name, operating authority, USDOT status, power units, drivers, roadside inspections, out of service rates and reportable crashes). Coverage runs across all 50 states plus Washington DC. Florida alone lists 2,593 registered household goods movers, California 2,046, and a single state search returns the entire list in one request.

๐ŸŽฏ Target Audience ๐Ÿ’ก Primary Use Cases
Moving brokers and van line networks Vet carrier partners before signing them
Consumer protection lawyers and advocates Build evidence on repeat offender movers
Insurers and underwriters Score household goods risk by complaint and crash record
Relocation and HR mobility teams Pick vetted movers for employee relocations
Journalists and researchers Track moving fraud patterns by state and category
Competitive intelligence teams Benchmark a mover against its regional peers

๐Ÿ“‹ What the FMCSA Household Goods Complaints Scraper does

๐Ÿ’ก Why it matters: a mover with 245 complaints and a mover with zero look identical on a quote page. The federal record is the only place where the difference is visible, and until now you had to open it one carrier at a time.

  • Searches the FMCSA Protect Your Move register by state, by company name, by USDOT number or by MC docket number.
  • Opens each carrier record and reads the household goods complaint history: the total per year and the full category by year matrix.
  • Flattens 13 complaint categories into their own columns: operating authority, insurance, shipment documents, estimates and final charges, weighing, hostage goods, pickup and delivery, loss and damage, claim settlement, other commercial, owner operator leasing, deceptive business practices and whistleblower.
  • Pulls the SAFER Company Snapshot for the same USDOT number so legal name, DBA name, authority status, inspections and crashes ride along in the same row.
  • Filters out carriers with no complaint record when you only want the ones that have one.
  • Deduplicates on USDOT number, so a carrier that appears in several searches is only charged once.

โœจ Why choose this Actor

  • The complaint history is the product. Other FMCSA Actors return census and authority data. This one returns the National Consumer Complaint Database roll up, split into 13 categories and four years, as flat numeric columns you can sort and rank.
  • Two federal sources joined for you. Protect Your Move and SAFER are separate systems with separate lookups. One row here carries both, keyed on USDOT number.
  • Honest sentinels. No empty cells and no nulls. Withheld values read Not Disclosed, structurally absent values read N/A, and empty arrays stay [], so a CSV import never guesses.
  • State sweeps in one request. FMCSA returns an entire state list in a single response, so a 2,593 carrier state costs one listing request, not 130 paginated ones.
  • Filter before you pay. minTotalComplaints skips the movers with a clean record, so every delivered row is a carrier that actually has a complaint history.
  • Deduplicated by USDOT number, so overlapping searches never bill you twice for the same carrier.

๐Ÿ“ˆ How it compares to alternatives

Approach Complaint history SAFER safety data Bulk export Effort
Protect Your Move website by hand Yes, one carrier at a time No, separate lookup No Minutes per carrier
SAFER Company Snapshot by hand No Yes No Minutes per carrier
Generic FMCSA census Actors No Partial Yes Low, but no complaints
Review sites and mover directories Opinion, not federal record No Sometimes Low, unverifiable
This Actor Yes, 13 categories over 4 years Yes, in the same row CSV, JSON, Excel, XML One run

Stated plainly: FMCSA publishes complaint counts, never the text of a complaint, and only for the last four calendar years. It publishes only complaints its Consumer Safety Analysis process marked actionable. A single complaint can be filed under several categories, so category counts can add up to more than the yearly total. Most registered movers have zero complaints. The Actor reports all of this exactly as FMCSA does, with the extract date in dataAsOfDate.

๐Ÿš€ How to use

  1. Create a free Apify account. New accounts get $5 in free credit: sign up here.
  2. Open the Actor and pick your search. Choose one or more states, type company names, or paste USDOT and MC numbers. Leave it all empty and the run samples Florida.
  3. Set Max Items. Free accounts preview 10 records, paid accounts go up to 1,000,000.
  4. Leave Minimum Total Complaints at 1 to get only movers with a complaint record, or set it to 0 to sweep every registered carrier.
  5. Keep the proxy on United States. FMCSA refuses connections from outside the country.
  6. Press Start, then download the dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel or XML, or pull it from the API.

๐Ÿ’ผ Business use cases

Carrier vetting for moving brokers

Pull every household goods mover in the states you dispatch into, rank by totalComplaints divided by powerUnits, and drop the outliers from your carrier list before a customer ever sees them. hostageGoods and claimSettlement counts are the two categories that turn into chargebacks.

Consumer protection and litigation support

Build a documented federal record for a mover: complaint counts by category and year, whether FMCSA authorized it to move household goods at all, and its crash and inspection history. Every row links back to the public FMCSA page it came from, so the evidence is verifiable.

Insurance and risk underwriting

Score household goods risk on federal signal instead of self reported questionnaires. Combine complaintsLossAndDamage, crashesTotal and vehicleOutOfServicePercent into a single index and reprice the book each month when FMCSA refreshes the extract.

Relocation program management

Corporate mobility teams can screen the vendor list every quarter. A mover whose hhgAuthorityStatus flipped to Not Authorized or whose usdotStatus went out of service is a contract risk you want to catch before moving day.

๐Ÿ”Œ Automating FMCSA Household Goods Complaints Scraper

  • Make and Zapier: trigger the Actor on a schedule and route new rows into a CRM, a Google Sheet or a Slack channel.
  • Slack: post an alert whenever a watched USDOT number crosses a complaint threshold.
  • Airbyte and warehouses: sync the dataset into BigQuery, Snowflake or Postgres and join it with your own booking data.
  • GitHub Actions: run a monthly refresh right after the FMCSA extract date changes and commit the diff.
  • Google Drive: drop a fresh CSV into a shared folder so the operations team always has the current list.
  • Apify API and MCP: call the Actor from your own service or expose it to an AI agent as a tool.

๐ŸŒŸ Beyond business use cases

  • Research: quantify moving fraud by state, by category and by carrier size across a four year window.
  • Personal: check the three movers who quoted you before you sign, and see whether any of them is authorized to move household goods at all.
  • Non-profit: consumer advocacy groups can publish state level scorecards from a federal source instead of anecdotes.
  • Experimentation: train a model on complaint category mixes to see which ones predict a later authority revocation.

๐Ÿค– Ask an AI assistant about this scraper

Paste this into ChatGPT, Claude or any assistant with web access:

I want to analyse United States interstate moving companies using the FMCSA Household Goods Complaints Scraper on Apify. Each row has a carrier legal name, DBA, USDOT and MC numbers, household goods authority status, safety rating, complaint counts split across 13 categories over four years, fleet size, roadside inspections and reportable crashes. Suggest five analyses I could run and the columns each one needs.

โ“ Frequently Asked Questions

Where does this data come from?

Two public FMCSA systems: the Protect Your Move household goods mover record at ai.fmcsa.dot.gov and the SAFER Company Snapshot at safer.fmcsa.dot.gov. Both are open to the public without an account.

Do I get the text of each complaint?

No. FMCSA publishes counts by category and year, never the narrative of an individual complaint. Complaint details are visible only to the company itself inside the National Consumer Complaint Database.

How far back does the complaint history go?

Four calendar years, which is the window FMCSA publishes. Older complaints drop off the public record.

Why do the category numbers add up to more than the total?

One complaint can be filed under several categories at once, so FMCSA counts it in each. The yearly total counts distinct complaints. This is FMCSA's own footnote, and the Actor reproduces both numbers unchanged.

Which complaints are counted?

Only those FMCSA marked as determined actionable through its Consumer Safety Analysis process, filed against moving company cases. Complaints still under review are not published.

How fresh is the data?

FMCSA refreshes the complaint extract monthly. Every row carries dataAsOfDate with the exact extract date, and the SAFER safety figures are current as of the day you run it.

Why do most carriers show zero complaints?

Because most registered movers genuinely have none. Set Minimum Total Complaints to 1 and the run skips them, so you only pay for carriers that have a record.

Do I need a proxy?

Yes, and it is on by default. FMCSA answers 403 to any request from outside the United States, so the Actor routes every request through a United States address.

Can I look up one specific mover?

Yes. Put its USDOT number in USDOT Numbers or its MC docket number in MC Numbers and the run returns that single carrier.

How many carriers can one state return?

The full state register in one request. Florida lists 2,593 registered household goods movers, California 2,046, Alaska 51. There is no pagination and no page size limit to work around.

What does "Not Authorized" mean on a mover I found?

It means FMCSA does not currently grant that entity household goods operating authority for interstate moves. Some of those carriers still advertise interstate moving. That gap is one of the more useful signals in the dataset.

Can I export to Excel?

Yes. Every dataset downloads as CSV, JSON, Excel or XML, or streams from the Apify API.

๐Ÿ”Œ Integrate with any app

The dataset is available through the Apify API the moment a run finishes, in JSON, CSV, Excel and XML. Use the Apify integrations for Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, Google Drive, GitHub and webhooks, or call the REST API directly from your own stack. The Actor also works as an MCP tool for AI agents.
