In short
D & L Movers (USDOT 1170163) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within California, based in Lancaster, CA and registered since 2003. Its filing lists 3 trucks 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 D & L Movers licensed?
D & L Movers is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 1170163) 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 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 D & L Movers, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 3 trucks and 2 drivers, and the registration dates from 2003.

Before you book D & L Movers
- 1
Keep the move inside California
D & L 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 for Lancaster references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about D & L Movers's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Lancaster you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer
D & L Movers files 2 tractors. If a full rig cannot reach your door, the move needs a shuttle truck, which is a separate line on the bill; ask before the estimate is written.
- 4
Judge the estimate against $515 – $859
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Lancaster at $515 – $859 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $12,641 – $16,854. A surveyed, written estimate from D & L Movers far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
