The Tennessee database contains 4,023 household-goods company records, including 1,541 active registrations. 0.5% have both insurance filing indicators in this import and 7.2% show federal inspection or crash activity. MEMPHIS is the largest listed business-address market, with 570 records.
For a move that stays within Tennessee, federal registration is only part of the check. Tennessee’s Department of Revenue separately administers intrastate authority and requires insurance documentation for household-goods carriers.
Business-address counts do not define a company’s service area. Registration alone is not permission to transport household goods.

Tennessee requires intrastate authority for for-hire carriers transporting property on public highways. Household-goods carriers must provide the state-required liability and cargo insurance forms. Compare these requirements with the exact company before an in-state move.
