Licensed interstate movers in Tennessee
1,701 companies based in Tennessee hold federal household goods authority: 1,701 as carriers and 89 as brokers (5%). 26 currently show a required insurance or bond filing missing from the federal record.
A broker arranges the move and hands it to a carrier you have not met. Holding both is legal and common: ask which one your job is booked under, and get the answer in writing.
The register lists a filing as required and shows none on file. That is the single strongest signal on this page. Companies with no authority record at all are not counted here, because absent data is not the same as a missing filing.
