Is Best Fit Movers licensed?
Best Fit Movers is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 3051481) as an intrastate carrier: it may move you within California, 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 9 years of registration (since 2017): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Best Fit Movers, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 10 trucks and 14 drivers, and the registration dates from 2017.

How Best Fit Movers operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 4 intrastate beyond 100 air miles; 10 intrastate within 100 air miles. Read plainly, it runs both: 4 on longer runs and 10 close to home.

- None of the 14 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 Best Fit Movers runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- 10 power units on file (7 owned and 3 term-leased), all straight trucks.
- Miles driven
- 10,000,000 miles reported for 2025, about 1,000,000 per truck.

What a move with Best Fit Movers should cost
Not Best Fit Movers's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from San Diego costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in San Diego: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in San Diego: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $44–$56 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $515 – $859.
| Home | Crew | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $251 – $411 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $339 – $635 |
| 2 bedrooms | 2 | 5–7 | $515 – $859 |
| 3 bedrooms | 3 | 6–9 | $867 – $1,587 |
| 4 bedrooms | 4 | 8–10 | $1,483 – $2,315 |
| 5+ bedrooms | 4 | 10–12 | $1,835 – $2,763 |
Hourly rates are scaled to California: hand movers there earn a median $21.50 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $44–$56 per mover per hour.

Before you book Best Fit Movers
- 1
Keep the move inside California
Best Fit Movers is registered for moves within California. 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 which truck and crew you get
Best Fit Movers had 16 roadside inspections in 24 months and 2 vehicle out-of-service orders (16.7% against 19.0%). The record covers the company; the truck and crew on your day are what you are buying.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Best Fit 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
Ask whose truck arrives
3 of the 10 power units Best Fit Movers files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 3051481, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $515 – $859
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in San Diego at $515 – $859 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $12,708 – $16,944. A surveyed, written estimate from Best Fit Movers far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
