CALIFORNIA RELOCATION SERVICES INC
CALIFORNIA RELOCATION SERVICES INC (USDOT 1030260, MC431183) is an interstate motor carrier based in GARDEN GROVE, CA, operating a small fleet of 3 power units. FMCSA shows operating authority as active for Broker of Household Goods, granted 2020-07-09. The insurance file carries a $75,000 BMC-84 filing from Southwest Marine and General Insurance Company, effective 2020-06-05. Authority status and insurance status are held in separate FMCSA files and are not updated together, so an active authority line is not confirmation that coverage is on file. These figures are read from FMCSA Licensing & Insurance and SAFER on 2026-09-23; MC Sentry reports what is on file and does not rate or recommend carriers.
