Is Josh Folkestad Legit?
Josh Folkestad is not currently authorized for household-goods (HHG) moves in the FMCSA record. If they advertise interstate moving, that is a mismatch worth questioning. Insurance is on file with FMCSA — "on file" means filed federally, which is a baseline signal, not proof of current active coverage.
The FMCSA safety rating is Unrated. Unrated is common — it means FMCSA has never done a compliance review, not that the carrier is unsafe. With 9 movers registered in Prescott,17% of movers in Arizona have insurance on file.
