Is Petrolino Moves LLC reliable? Our read of the record

About Petrolino Moves LLC
Petrolino Moves LLC is a federally registered mover based in Riverdale, Maryland, registered with FMCSA since June 2019. Federal filings show 5 power units (trucks/tractors) and 5 drivers.
Over the last four years, consumers filed 9 complaints against this company with the federal government. The most common complaint category is "Estimates/Final Charges" (5 complaints): in plain terms, customers reported that the final bill did not match the estimate they were given. Most seriously, 2 complaints fall under "Hostage Goods", meaning customers reported their belongings were withheld pending extra payment.
The complaint volume is trending upward: 1 complaint in 2024 grew to 6 in 2026. A rising curve like this usually matters more than the total, because it describes the company as it operates today.
How to read this report
The grade and risk score at the top are calculated by MoverAudit from objective federal flags: whether the company is a broker or a carrier, how many trucks it operates, the volume and severity of complaints, hostage-goods reports, and past authority revocations. They are not official government ratings, and they are not reviews: every input is a public federal record shown on this page.
The complaint categories come from the FMCSA household goods complaint system. A single bad move can generate complaints in several categories at once, so the category sum can exceed the total. Pay the most attention to "Hostage Goods" and "Deceptive Business Practices": those describe intent, not accidents. "Loss and Damage" at low volume is normal friction for a carrier doing thousands of moves; the same number at a tiny company is not.
The fleet numbers matter more than they look. A company advertising nationwide service with zero or one registered truck is not doing that work itself: your move will be handled by someone you have not vetted. Compare the fleet size to the promises in your quote.
If you are considering this company, use this report as a starting point, not a verdict. Get the estimate in writing and check whether it is binding, confirm the USDOT number on their paperwork matches 3296469, and if a different company shows up on moving day, stop and check that company here before a single box goes on the truck.
