Is First Class Moving Systems licensed for interstate moves?
Yes, on two levels. First Class Moving Systems holds active interstate operating authority (MC405647, status active) on USDOT 944759, declares household goods as cargo, and has not been assigned a safety rating, which means no compliance review has been completed; that is the position of most carriers on the register and is not a mark against it.
Because First Class Moving Systems is an agent of North American Van Lines, an interstate household move booked through it normally runs under the van line's authority (USDOT 70851), and that is the number you should expect on the bill of lading beside First Class Moving Systems's name. Check both records: the agent's for who is handling your goods, the van line's for whose insurance, tariff and claims department stand behind the move.

What a move with First Class Moving Systems should cost
First Class Moving Systems 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| 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 First Class Moving Systems: 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 this move run under North American Van Lines's authority or your own, and which USDOT number goes on my bill of lading?
- Will your own crew load and drive, or will the shipment be handed to another North American Van Lines agent at the far end?
- 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?
- If something goes wrong, do I deal with you or with the van line's claims department?
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.

First Class Moving Systems FAQ
Is First Class Moving Systems a licensed interstate moving company?
Yes, on two levels. First Class Moving Systems holds active interstate operating authority (MC405647, status active) on USDOT 944759, declares household goods as cargo, and has not been assigned a safety rating, which means no compliance review has been completed; that is the position of most carriers on the register and is not a mark against it. Because First Class Moving Systems is an agent of North American Van Lines, an interstate household move booked through it normally runs under the van line's authority (USDOT 70851), and that is the number you should expect on the bill of lading beside First Class Moving Systems's name. Check both records: the agent's for who is handling your goods, the van line's for whose insurance, tariff and claims department stand behind the move.
What is First Class Moving Systems's USDOT number?
944759. Its operating authority docket is MC405647 and its legal name on the register is First Class 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 First Class Moving Systems?
First Class Moving Systems filed 50 power units and 50 drivers on its latest MCS-150, which makes it the 56th largest of the 100 eligible interstate household-goods carriers on the register and the 15th largest of the 25 van-line agents among them. The company itself reports offices in Tampa, Miami, Orlando, and Gulfport MS. The largest, United Van Lines, files 4,731 power units; the median for the 100 is 55.
Does First Class Moving Systems have a good safety rating?
First Class Moving Systems is unrated: the FMCSA has not completed a compliance review of it. That is the position of most carriers on the register and is not a negative mark; the ratings to avoid are Conditional and Unsatisfactory, and carriers holding either are excluded from our list. The inspection and crash figures on SAFER show the current picture.
Is First Class Moving Systems a van line, an agent or an independent mover?
An agent of North American Van Lines. First Class Moving Systems owns its own trucks and crews and holds its own registration, but its interstate household moves run under the van line's authority, so you get First Class Moving Systems's people and North American Van Lines's tariff, insurance and claims process.
How much does First Class Moving Systems charge for a long-distance move?
First Class Moving Systems 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 First Class Moving Systems and two other carriers and compare them against that range.
