Is Apple Moving licensed for interstate moves?
Yes. Apple Moving holds active interstate operating authority (MC299656, status active) on USDOT 487595, declares household goods as cargo, and carries a Satisfactory safety rating from a compliance review the FMCSA completed in 2009.
As an independent carrier, Apple Moving is the company that quotes, loads, drives and delivers under its own number. The USDOT on your bill of lading should be 487595; a different number means another carrier has been brought in, which is something to ask about before loading day rather than after.

Every line below is what Apple Moving filed with the FMCSA, unedited. Power units and drivers are self-reported on the MCS-150 form the carrier must update at least every two years; the safety rating is assigned by the FMCSA after a compliance review and stays until the next one.

Who Apple Moving is
This registration, under the legal name Executive Moving Systems Inc., matches the Featherstone Road address of Apple Moving's Woodbridge, Virginia office; the brand's site footer shows different USDOT and MC numbers, so this appears to be the Woodbridge operating entity rather than the brand's main authority. Its USDOT number was issued in 1992. Apple Moving describes itself as family owned and operated and rooted in Texas: Jon Minor founded a moving company in Austin in 2000 and acquired Apple Moving in 2006, and the company now reports more than 600 employees. Regional warehouses are listed in Texas, Colorado, Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina and Virginia.

How Apple Moving compares
Apple Moving is the 91st largest of the 100 eligible carriers by registered fleet and the 61st largest of the 67 independent carriers among them. Its fleet is 1 percent of United Van Lines's, below the median of 55. It files more drivers than trucks (1.2 per power unit), which usually means crews of two or three ride with each truck.
| Apple Moving | Median of 100 | Largest (United Van Lines) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power units | 34 | 55 | 4,731 |
| Drivers | 40 | 52 | 3,424 |

What a move with Apple Moving should cost
Apple Moving does not publish prices, and no large carrier does: an interstate quote is built from the weight of your shipment, the distance, the date and how the survey was done. What we can give you is the range a quote should land in, from our published model, so that a number well outside it reads as what it is. Full-service movers, transport only.
| Distance | 2 bedrooms | 3 bedrooms | 4 bedrooms |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 miles | $2,250 – $3,000 | $2,588 – $3,450 | $2,925 – $3,900 |
| 1,000 miles | $4,500 – $6,000 | $5,175 – $6,900 | $5,850 – $7,800 |
| 2,000 miles | $9,000 – $12,000 | $10,350 – $13,800 | $11,700 – $15,600 |
| 2,800 miles | $12,600 – $16,800 | $14,490 – $19,320 | $16,380 – $21,840 |

Before you book Apple Moving: six questions
Ask these on the first call. The answers matter more than the ranking, and an established carrier answers all six without hesitation.
- Will your own employees load, drive and deliver, or is the far end subcontracted?
- Will my shipment be consolidated with other households, and how does that change the delivery window?
- Is the estimate binding, non-binding or binding not-to-exceed, and was it based on a video or in-home survey?
- What is the delivery window in writing, and what do you pay if you miss it?
- What does full-value protection cost on my shipment, and what is the deductible?
- Is USDOT 487595 the number that will appear on my bill of lading?
Then run the six checks in how to check a moving company, and read the nine red flags so you recognise the ones that do not apply here.

Apple Moving FAQ
Is Apple Moving a licensed interstate moving company?
Yes. Apple Moving holds active interstate operating authority (MC299656, status active) on USDOT 487595, declares household goods as cargo, and carries a Satisfactory safety rating from a compliance review the FMCSA completed in 2009. As an independent carrier, Apple Moving is the company that quotes, loads, drives and delivers under its own number. The USDOT on your bill of lading should be 487595; a different number means another carrier has been brought in, which is something to ask about before loading day rather than after.
What is Apple Moving's USDOT number?
487595. Its operating authority docket is MC299656 and its legal name on the register is Executive Moving Systems Inc.. Look the number up on the FMCSA's SAFER system to see authority status, insurance on file, the safety rating and the inspection and crash record; the record on this page was pulled on 2026-09-24.
How big is Apple Moving?
Apple Moving filed 34 power units and 40 drivers on its latest MCS-150, which makes it the 91st largest of the 100 eligible interstate household-goods carriers on the register and the 61st largest of the 67 independent carriers among them. The largest, United Van Lines, files 4,731 power units; the median for the 100 is 55.
Does Apple Moving have a good safety rating?
Apple Moving holds a Satisfactory rating, the best of the three the FMCSA assigns, from a compliance review completed on 2009-12-02. A rating reflects the carrier's compliance at the time of the review and does not change until another review is done, so read it alongside the current inspection and crash figures on SAFER.
Is Apple Moving a van line, an agent or an independent mover?
An independent carrier. Apple Moving moves households under its own authority with its own trucks and crews rather than through a van-line network, so the company you book is the company that turns up. Ask how it handles the far end of a long move: its own crew, a partner carrier, or consolidation with other shipments.
How much does Apple Moving charge for a long-distance move?
Apple Moving does not publish a rate card and we do not hold its quotes; every long-distance price is set by weight, distance, date and the survey. From our published model a three-bedroom home over 1,000 miles should quote near $5,175 – $6,900 for full-service movers, transport only, and $14,490 – $19,320 over 2,800 miles. Get a surveyed, binding not-to-exceed estimate from Apple Moving and two other carriers and compare them against that range.
Who owns Apple Moving?
The company describes itself as family-owned. Its founding date is not stated and is headquartered in Woodbridge, Virginia; the USDOT number was issued in 1992.
