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 5 Star Moving licensed?
5 Star Moving holds active interstate operating authority on the federal register (USDOT 4020333, MC1623585), so it may carry household goods across state lines under its own number.
It has no safety rating on record in 3 years of registration (since 2023): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against 5 Star Moving, and not a mark for it.

Roadside inspections, last 24 months

How 5 Star Moving operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 2 interstate beyond 100 air miles. Read plainly, every driver it files works beyond 100 miles, the profile of a long-distance operation.
- 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 5 Star Moving runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- 2 power units on file (2 owned), all straight trucks.
- Miles driven
- 5,987 miles reported for 2024, about 2,994 per truck.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods, plus general freight.

Before you book 5 Star Moving
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1623585
5 Star Moving can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1623585. 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 Albany references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about 5 Star Moving's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Albany you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No 5 Star Moving 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 – $859
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Albany at $515 – $859 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $13,415 – $17,886. A surveyed, written estimate from 5 Star Moving far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
