In short
Discount Movers (USDOT 3391069) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within California, based in San Diego, CA and registered since 2020. Its filing lists 4 trucks and 8 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 Discount Movers licensed?
Discount Movers is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 3391069) 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 6 years of registration (since 2020): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Discount Movers, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 4 trucks and 8 drivers, and the registration dates from 2020.

What a move with Discount Movers should cost
Not Discount 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 Discount Movers
- 1
Keep the move inside California
Discount 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 San Diego references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Discount Movers's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near San Diego you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
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 $12,722 – $16,962. A surveyed, written estimate from Discount Movers far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
