Is Alma Moving INC reliable? Our read of the record
The federal record argues for real caution with Alma Moving INC: 6 hostage-goods complaints on federal record; 34 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.
If you already have a quote from this company, do not send a deposit before reading the complaint categories above. There are movers in North Carolina with cleaner records doing the same routes; two of them are listed below.
This assessment is generated from the public federal records shown on this page: registration, fleet, complaints, inspections, insurance and authority filings. It is a summary of records, not a review or an accusation.
Carriers to compare in North Carolina
About Alma Moving INC
Alma Moving INC is a federally licensed household goods carrier based in Raleigh, North Carolina, registered with FMCSA since June 2023. Federal filings show 3 power units (trucks/tractors) and 5 drivers.
Over the last four years, consumers filed 34 complaints against this company with the federal government. The most common complaint category is "Pickup and Delivery" (19 complaints): in plain terms, customers reported missed pickup windows, late deliveries or no-shows. Most seriously, 6 complaints fall under "Hostage Goods", meaning customers reported their belongings were withheld pending extra payment.
The complaint volume is trending upward: 5 complaints in 2024 grew to 12 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 4085770, and if a different company shows up on moving day, stop and check that company here before a single box goes on the truck.
