What the registration shows
Tobin Scientific holds active interstate operating authority (MC-205013) according to the FMCSA census data, so it is authorized to carry household goods across state lines. Interstate movers must follow federal consumer-protection rules: written estimates, the Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move booklet, and an arbitration program for disputes.
With 22 trucks, Tobin Scientific runs a larger fleet than about 97% of the 212 registered movers in our Boston directory (median: 3).
It has been on the USDOT register for about 37 years (first added 1989), compared with a median of 8 years for Boston movers.
FMCSA has given Tobin Scientific a Satisfactory safety rating (2024). Most carriers have never had a compliance review and are unrated.
