Is Encore Piano Moving licensed?
Encore Piano Moving is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 3597595) 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 5 years of registration (since 2021): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Encore Piano Moving, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 5 trucks and 8 drivers, and the registration dates from 2021.

Before you book Encore Piano Moving
- 1
Keep the move inside California
Encore Piano Moving 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
Encore Piano Moving had 7 roadside inspections in 24 months and 0 vehicle out-of-service orders (0.0% 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 Encore Piano 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
Ask whose truck arrives
4 of the 5 power units Encore Piano Moving files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 3597595, 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 Stockton at $515 – $859 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $13,172 – $17,562. A surveyed, written estimate from Encore Piano Moving far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
