What the registration shows
SMS Moving LLC is registered as an intrastate carrier, meaning it is set up for moves that stay within New York. It does not need interstate authority for those moves, but it cannot legally carry a move to another state. For in-state moves, New York requires movers that carry household goods within the state to hold authority from the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT). Ask the mover for its NYSDOT number and confirm it with NYSDOT. For moves to another state, check the USDOT number with FMCSA.
With 1 truck, SMS Moving LLC is one of the smaller registered movers in the Buffalo area (the median is 1). Smaller companies can offer more personal service; ask about availability in peak season.
It has been on the USDOT register for about 2 years (first added 2024), compared with a median of 11 years for Buffalo movers.
