In short

Its filing lists 20 trucks and 20 drivers. 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 Changing Spaces Moving Inc licensed?
Changing Spaces Moving Inc is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 1164434) as an intrastate carrier: it may move you within Alabama, but a move across a state line would have to go through a carrier holding interstate authority, often a van line the company works for as an agent. Ask whose USDOT number would be on the bill of lading.
It has no safety rating on record in 23 years of registration (since 2003): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Changing Spaces Moving Inc, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 20 trucks and 20 drivers, and the registration dates from 2003.

Before you book Changing Spaces Moving Inc
- 1
Keep the move inside Alabama
Changing Spaces Moving Inc is registered for moves within Alabama. For a move to another state, ask which interstate carrier would haul it and look up that company's USDOT number as well.
- 2
Ask for Birmingham references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Changing Spaces Moving Inc's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Birmingham you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Changing Spaces Moving Inc 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
Judge the estimate against $435 – $719
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Birmingham at $435 – $719 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $4,509 – $6,012. A surveyed, written estimate from Changing Spaces Moving Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
