The Individuals Listed on the Most FMCSA Moving Company Registrations: Public Records Analysis

When someone applies for FMCSA authority to operate an interstate moving company, the application asks for basic information: the company name, address, officer names, and insurance details. What the application does not ask is whether the applicant, or any of the listed officers, has previously been associated with a moving company that was flagged, investigated, or had its authority revoked.

There is no federal database that cross-references moving company principals. Each DOT application is processed independently. A person whose company accumulated 200 complaints and had its authority revoked can register a new LLC, apply for a new DOT number, and be operating again within weeks.

Trunk built a principals table that cross-references FMCSA SAFER registration data, state corporate filings, federal court documents, and law enforcement records. The following analysis identifies individuals who appear as registered officers, agents, or principals across multiple interstate moving company registrations, according to these public records.

The most extensively documented case is the DiSorbo family of Pompano Beach, Florida. Aldo DiSorbo was the subject of the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee hearings on moving fraud in 2012, a matter of public congressional record.

According to public records:

- Aldo DiSorbo appears as a principal on 3 FMCSA registrations: Colonial Van Lines Inc. (USDOT 1434373, 121 complaints), Colonial Van Lines Inc. (USDOT 4094070, 13 complaints), and Moving Squad of South Florida LLC (USDOT 2406070). - DiSorbo was banned from the moving industry by the Florida Attorney General in 1997. He was jailed in 2000 for violating the ban. Public court records show he listed his 2-year-old daughter as VP of one of his companies. - The 2012 Senate hearings documented DiSorbo as a behind-the-scenes operator of 10 or more companies.

Combined complaints across DiSorbo-linked registrations: 134.

This case is significant because it demonstrates the pattern at its most extreme: an individual banned by a state attorney general and jailed for violating the ban was able to continue operating through new registrations. The Senate documented this in 2012. More than a decade later, Colonial Van Lines (USDOT 1434373) remains authorized.

The following individuals appear as officers, owners, or managing members on 4 separate FMCSA registrations, according to public records.

(USDOT 1434373, 121 complaints). Combined complaints: 593. Public records note: NW Management Services LLC (Delaware registration, 16192 Coastal Hwy, Lewes DE) is officer/director of AMS Moving Inc., connecting Amerisafe to the DiSorbo/Colonial network. Co-defendant in FL AG AVC L23-3-1566. Confirmed bridge between Amerisafe and Colonial networks via FL SOS corporate filing (P19000047032, February 2025).

Frank Lucido's combined complaint total of 593 across three registrations is the highest of any individual in Trunk's principals database.

Across the 13 individuals identified with 3 or more linked FMCSA registrations:

- Total unique DOT numbers: 38 - Total combined NCCDB complaints: over 1,900 - Number who have been subject to law enforcement action (conviction, AG investigation, consent judgment, or ban): 6 - Number who registered new companies after a previous company was flagged, investigated, or had authority revoked: at least 5 - Number of aliases documented across public records: 12

The most common pattern: an individual registers a company, the company accumulates complaints, and a new company is registered at a different address (sometimes in a different state) before or shortly after the original company's authority is questioned. The new registration lists the same individual, or an alias, or a family member.

FMCSA's application process does not check for these connections. Each DOT number is processed as if the applicant has no history.

This analysis reports on public records. It documents which individuals appear on multiple FMCSA registrations according to federal and state databases. It does not characterize anyone's intent. It does not call anyone a fraudster. The presence of an individual on multiple registrations is, by itself, not illegal. Many legitimate moving company owners operate multiple DOT numbers for valid business reasons.

What this data shows is that FMCSA's registration system has no mechanism to flag patterns that, in other regulated industries, would trigger additional scrutiny. In banking, an individual whose institution was shut down by regulators faces heightened review when applying for a new charter. In securities, a person barred by FINRA cannot register with a new broker-dealer without disclosure. In interstate moving, there is no equivalent check.

Every connection reported here comes from one of three public record sources: FMCSA SAFER registration data, state corporate filings (primarily Florida SunBiz), or federal court dockets. Trunk did not use private investigative databases, social media analysis, or confidential sources for this article.
