The federal record
USDOT 686381 · Hutchinson, KS · in the federal record since 1997. Everything below comes from FMCSA's own files — nothing is our opinion.
License check: Sturdi-Bilt holds active interstate for-hire authority for household goods (USDOT 686381). Whether it's the right mover for your move is what the rest of this record is for.
The trade name Sturdi-Bilt is operated by the legal entity Sturdi Bilt Storage Barns Inc — and the legal entity is the one that holds the federal authority and is liable for your shipment. That split is normal (23.7% of licensed movers use a DBA), but your paperwork should name the entity, not just the brand.
