It has no FMCSA safety rating. It had no roadside inspection in the last 24 months, so there is no inspection record either way.
Is Awesome Moving Services licensed?

How Awesome Moving Services operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 2 interstate beyond 100 air miles; 2 interstate within 100 air miles; 2 intrastate beyond 100 air miles; 2 intrastate within 100 air miles. Read plainly, it runs both: 4 on longer runs and 4 close to home.
- Commercial driver's licences
- None of the 8 drivers on its latest filing holds a CDL. A CDL is required to drive a truck rated over 26,000 lb, so on its own filing Awesome Moving Services runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- 10,014 power units on file (2 owned, 12 term-leased and 10,000 trip-leased), all straight trucks.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods only.

What a move with Awesome Moving Services should cost
Not Awesome Moving Services's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Tuscaloosa costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Tuscaloosa: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Tuscaloosa: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $36–$46 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $435 – $719.
| Home | Crew | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $219 – $351 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $291 – $535 |
| 2 bedrooms | 2 | 5–7 | $435 – $719 |
| 3 bedrooms | 3 | 6–9 | $723 – $1,317 |
| 4 bedrooms | 4 | 8–10 | $1,227 – $1,915 |
| 5+ bedrooms | 4 | 10–12 | $1,515 – $2,283 |
Hourly rates are scaled to Alabama: hand movers there earn a median $17.63 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $36–$46 per mover per hour.

Before you book Awesome Moving Services
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1704689
Awesome Moving Services can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1704689. If the written estimate names a van line or another carrier, that company is the one legally responsible for your goods, so check its number too.
- 2
Ask for Tuscaloosa references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Awesome Moving Services's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Tuscaloosa you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Awesome Moving Services driver holds a CDL, so its trucks are rated 26,000 lb or less. For a three- or four-bedroom home, ask how many trucks or trips the estimate assumes; on an hourly job a second trip is paid time.
- 4
Ask whose truck arrives
10,012 of the 10,014 power units Awesome Moving Services files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 4357625, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $435 – $719
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Tuscaloosa at $435 – $719 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $4,788 – $6,384. A surveyed, written estimate from Awesome Moving Services far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
