The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California issued a final judgment against USA Logistics, Inc. for transporting household goods without proper authorization.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has achieved a significant victory in its efforts to ensure consumer safety in the moving transportation sector. On September 11, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California issued a final judgment against USA Logistics, Inc. for transporting household goods without proper authorization, violating FMCSA regulations. As a result of this ruling, the company will be required to pay a $25,000 fine and has committed to complying with federal regulations in the future.
The lawsuit against USA Logistics was filed by the U.S. Department of Justice on behalf of U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, after discovering that the company was repeatedly transporting unauthorized household goods. In response to the lawsuit, USA Logistics admitted to all violations and agreed to operate within the boundaries established by the FMCSA going forward.
FMCSA, through its Deputy Administrator, Vinn White, emphasized the importance of enforcing federal regulations to protect consumers. The agency has intensified its fight against “bad actors” in the moving industry and is proud to have collaborated with the Department of Justice on this case. This ruling sets a precedent for future legal actions against companies that fail to comply with transportation regulations.
FMCSA continues its efforts to ensure compliance with federal regulations
FMCSA has not only focused on enforcing the law but also on strengthening its relationships with state authorities. In this regard, the agency has carried out the “Protect Your Move” operation, an annual initiative that mobilizes dozens of investigators across the country to address the most serious consumer complaints. The 2024 operation resulted in 60 investigations and over 30 enforcement actions, demonstrating FMCSA’s commitment to protecting consumers’ rights.
“Families deserve to know that their belongings are in good hands when moving to a new home, and this Department has taken action against carriers who do not fulfill their part of the deal,” Buttigieg said in the FMCSA statement.
Finally, in September, the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee approved a bipartisan bill that will expand FMCSA’s enforcement tools. The new legislation will give the agency the authority to impose civil penalties for violations of commercial regulations and better protect consumers in the moving industry. This measure will also allow FMCSA to withhold the registration of moving companies that fail to provide sufficient evidence that they are operating legally.
This case and the recent actions by FMCSA and the Department of Justice demonstrate a strong commitment to ensuring the safe and reliable transportation of household goods, protecting families from deceptive and fraudulent practices during the moving process.
