Is Santana Moving & Storage licensed for interstate moves?
Yes. Santana Moving & Storage holds active interstate operating authority (MC1437772, status active) on USDOT 3901949, 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.
As an independent carrier, Santana Moving & Storage is the company that quotes, loads, drives and delivers under its own number. The USDOT on your bill of lading should be 3901949; 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 Santana Moving & Storage should cost

Before you book Santana Moving & Storage: 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 3901949 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.

Santana Moving & Storage FAQ
Is Santana Moving & Storage a licensed interstate moving company?
Yes. Santana Moving & Storage holds active interstate operating authority (MC1437772, status active) on USDOT 3901949, 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. As an independent carrier, Santana Moving & Storage is the company that quotes, loads, drives and delivers under its own number. The USDOT on your bill of lading should be 3901949; a different number means another carrier has been brought in, which is something to ask about before loading day rather than after.
What is Santana Moving & Storage's USDOT number?
3901949. Its operating authority docket is MC1437772 and its legal name on the register is Santana Moving & Storage LLC. 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 Santana Moving & Storage?
Santana Moving & Storage filed 42 power units and 55 drivers on its latest MCS-150, which makes it the 65th largest of the 100 eligible interstate household-goods carriers on the register and the 41st 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 Santana Moving & Storage have a good safety rating?
Santana Moving & Storage 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 Santana Moving & Storage a van line, an agent or an independent mover?
An independent carrier. Santana Moving & Storage 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 Santana Moving & Storage charge for a long-distance move?
Santana Moving & Storage 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 Santana Moving & Storage and two other carriers and compare them against that range.
