In short
Aardvark Movers (USDOT 1881168) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within Arizona, based in Phoenix, AZ and registered since 2009. Its filing lists 1 truck and 2 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 Aardvark Movers licensed?
Aardvark Movers is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 1881168) as an intrastate carrier: it may move you within Arizona, 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 17 years of registration (since 2009): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Aardvark Movers, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 1 truck and 2 drivers, and the registration dates from 2009.

Roadside inspections, last 24 months

How Aardvark Movers operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 1 interstate beyond 100 air miles; 1 interstate within 100 air miles. Read plainly, it runs both: 1 on longer runs and 1 close to home.
- Commercial driver's licences
- None of the 2 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 Aardvark Movers runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- One power unit on file, owned, a straight truck, plus 7 trailers.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods only.

What a move with Aardvark Movers should cost
Not Aardvark Movers's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Phoenix costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Phoenix: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Phoenix: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $44–$55 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $515 – $845.
| Home | Crew | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $251 – $405 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $339 – $625 |
| 2 bedrooms | 2 | 5–7 | $515 – $845 |
| 3 bedrooms | 3 | 6–9 | $867 – $1,560 |
| 4 bedrooms | 4 | 8–10 | $1,483 – $2,275 |
| 5+ bedrooms | 4 | 10–12 | $1,835 – $2,715 |
Hourly rates are scaled to Arizona: hand movers there earn a median $21.29 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $44–$55 per mover per hour.

Before you book Aardvark Movers
- 1
Keep the move inside Arizona
Aardvark Movers is registered for moves within Arizona. 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 Phoenix references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Aardvark Movers's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Phoenix you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Aardvark Movers 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 $515 – $845
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Phoenix at $515 – $845 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $11,219 – $14,958. A surveyed, written estimate from Aardvark Movers far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
