Is B R Relocations INC reliable? Our read of the record
The federal record argues for real caution with B R Relocations INC: 3 hostage-goods complaints on federal record. 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 Florida 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 Florida
About B R Relocations INC
B R Relocations INC, doing business as Coastal Moving & Storage, is a federally licensed household goods carrier based in Pensacola, Florida, registered with FMCSA since December 2000. Federal filings show 6 power units (trucks/tractors) and 3 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" (8 complaints): in plain terms, customers reported that the final bill did not match the estimate they were given. 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 920953, and if a different company shows up on moving day, stop and check that company here before a single box goes on the truck.
