Is Eagle Van Lines licensed for interstate moves?
Yes. Eagle Van Lines holds active interstate operating authority (MC208997, status active) on USDOT 388638, declares household goods as cargo, and carries a Satisfactory safety rating from a compliance review the FMCSA completed in 2001.
As an independent carrier, Eagle Van Lines is the company that quotes, loads, drives and delivers under its own number. The USDOT on your bill of lading should be 388638; a different number means another carrier has been brought in, which is something to ask about before loading day rather than after.

What a move with Eagle Van Lines should cost
Eagle Van Lines 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.

Before you book Eagle Van Lines: 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 388638 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.

Eagle Van Lines FAQ
Is Eagle Van Lines a licensed interstate moving company?
Yes. Eagle Van Lines holds active interstate operating authority (MC208997, status active) on USDOT 388638, declares household goods as cargo, and carries a Satisfactory safety rating from a compliance review the FMCSA completed in 2001. As an independent carrier, Eagle Van Lines is the company that quotes, loads, drives and delivers under its own number. The USDOT on your bill of lading should be 388638; a different number means another carrier has been brought in, which is something to ask about before loading day rather than after.
What is Eagle Van Lines's USDOT number?
388638. Its operating authority docket is MC208997 and its legal name on the register is Eagle Van Lines 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 Eagle Van Lines?
Eagle Van Lines filed 72 power units and 59 drivers on its latest MCS-150, which makes it the 38th largest of the 100 eligible interstate household-goods carriers on the register and the 22nd largest of the 67 independent carriers among them. The company itself reports multiple established warehouses on the East Coast. The largest, United Van Lines, files 4,731 power units; the median for the 100 is 55.
Does Eagle Van Lines have a good safety rating?
Eagle Van Lines holds a Satisfactory rating, the best of the three the FMCSA assigns, from a compliance review completed on 2001-01-04. 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 Eagle Van Lines a van line, an agent or an independent mover?
An independent carrier. Eagle Van Lines 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 Eagle Van Lines charge for a long-distance move?
Eagle Van Lines 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 Eagle Van Lines and two other carriers and compare them against that range.
Who owns Eagle Van Lines?
The company describes itself as independently owned and operated. It was founded in 1985 and is headquartered in Temple Hills, MD; the USDOT number was issued in 1990.
