Is Venture Van Lines LLC reliable? Our read of the record
The federal record argues for real caution with Venture Van Lines LLC: no trucks registered with FMCSA; 3 hostage-goods complaints on federal record; 15 federal complaints in the last 4 years. These are not opinions or reviews: each one is a fact filed in the federal system, and hostage-goods complaints in particular describe intent, not accidents.

About Venture Van Lines LLC
Venture Van Lines LLC is a federally registered mover based in Boca Raton, Florida, registered with FMCSA since June 2022. Federal filings show no trucks registered to this company.
Over the last four years, consumers filed 15 complaints against this company with the federal government.

Most seriously, 3 complaints fall under "Hostage Goods", meaning customers reported their belongings were withheld pending extra payment.
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 3909223, and if a different company shows up on moving day, stop and check that company here before a single box goes on the truck.
