Is Must Have Movers LLC licensed?
Must Have Movers LLC is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 3826519) 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 4 years of registration (since 2022): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Must Have Movers LLC, and not a mark for it.

| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $251 – $411 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $339 – $635 |

Before you book Must Have Movers LLC
- 1
Keep the move inside California
Must Have Movers LLC 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 about the 2 out-of-service orders
2 of Must Have Movers LLC's 4 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (50.0%, against 19.0% for all listed movers). Ask what failed, whether it was fixed, and which truck would do your move.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Must Have Movers LLC 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
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 Must Have Movers LLC far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
