How Universal Movers LLC operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 3 interstate beyond 100 air miles; 3 interstate within 100 air miles. Read plainly, it runs both: 3 on longer runs and 3 close to home.

- None of the 6 drivers on its latest filing holds a CDL. A CDL is required to drive a truck rated over 26,000 lb, so on its own filing Universal Movers LLC runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- 3 power units on file (3 term-leased), all straight trucks.
- Miles driven
- 600 miles reported for 2023, about 200 per truck.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods, plus general freight, intermodal containers and other cargo.

Local moves in San Leandro: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in San Leandro: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $44–$56 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $515 – $859.

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 Universal Movers LLC
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC880993
Universal Movers LLC can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC880993. If the written estimate names a van line or another carrier, that company is the one legally responsible for your goods, so check its number too.
- 2
Ask which truck and crew you get
Universal Movers LLC had 12 roadside inspections in 24 months and 1 vehicle out-of-service order (11.1% 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 Universal 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
Ask whose truck arrives
3 of the 3 power units Universal Movers LLC files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 2534165, 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 San Leandro at $515 – $859 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $13,401 – $17,868. A surveyed, written estimate from Universal Movers LLC far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
