Is Plycon Transportation Group licensed for interstate moves?
Yes. Plycon Transportation Group holds active interstate operating authority (MC162207, status active) on USDOT 331582, declares household goods as cargo, and carries a Satisfactory safety rating from a compliance review the FMCSA completed in 2004.
As an independent carrier, Plycon Transportation Group is the company that quotes, loads, drives and delivers under its own number. The USDOT on your bill of lading should be 331582; a different number means another carrier has been brought in, which is something to ask about before loading day rather than after.

Who Plycon Transportation Group is
Plycon was started in the 1970s by Arthur Pliaconis as a moving and warehousing company; the site gives no exact year, and the USDOT number dates from 1988. After the founder's death in 2006 the company passed to his three sons, Dean, Chris and Dave Pliaconis, who are listed as managing members. The legal name is Plycon Van Lines Inc., though the site makes no van-line statement. Facilities are in Kings Park, New York; Bensenville, Illinois; Grand Prairie, Texas; Pompano Beach, Florida; and La Mirada, California, and the work covers residential moving, enclosed auto and motorcycle transport, fine art, packing and crating and white glove delivery.

What a move with Plycon Transportation Group should cost
Plycon Transportation Group 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 |

Before you book Plycon Transportation Group: 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 331582 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.

Plycon Transportation Group FAQ
Is Plycon Transportation Group a licensed interstate moving company?
Yes. Plycon Transportation Group holds active interstate operating authority (MC162207, status active) on USDOT 331582, declares household goods as cargo, and carries a Satisfactory safety rating from a compliance review the FMCSA completed in 2004. As an independent carrier, Plycon Transportation Group is the company that quotes, loads, drives and delivers under its own number. The USDOT on your bill of lading should be 331582; a different number means another carrier has been brought in, which is something to ask about before loading day rather than after.
What is Plycon Transportation Group's USDOT number?
331582. Its operating authority docket is MC162207 and its legal name on the register is Plycon 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 Plycon Transportation Group?
Plycon Transportation Group filed 41 power units and 36 drivers on its latest MCS-150, which makes it the 70th largest of the 100 eligible interstate household-goods carriers on the register and the 44th 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 Plycon Transportation Group have a good safety rating?
Plycon Transportation Group holds a Satisfactory rating, the best of the three the FMCSA assigns, from a compliance review completed on 2004-08-23. 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 Plycon Transportation Group a van line, an agent or an independent mover?
An independent carrier. Plycon Transportation Group 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 Plycon Transportation Group charge for a long-distance move?
Plycon Transportation Group 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 Plycon Transportation Group and two other carriers and compare them against that range.
Who owns Plycon Transportation Group?
The company describes itself as family-owned (founded by Arthur Pliaconis; his sons Dean, Chris and Dave Pliaconis are listed as Managing Members). Its founding date is not stated and is headquartered in Kings Park, NY; the USDOT number was issued in 1988.
