Is Big Island Movers licensed?
Big Island Movers is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 4168585) 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 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 Big Island Movers, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 2 trucks and 8 drivers, and the registration dates from 2023.

A two-bedroom move in Modesto: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $44–$56 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $515 – $859.

| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $339 – $635 |

- 3
Check the truck fits your home

The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Modesto at $515 – $859 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $13,086 – $17,448. A surveyed, written estimate from Big Island Movers far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
