Is Advantage Moving & Storage LLC licensed?
Advantage Moving & Storage LLC is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 1290165) as an intrastate carrier: it may move you within Connecticut, 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 22 years of registration (since 2004): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Advantage Moving & Storage LLC, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 4 trucks and 3 drivers, and the registration dates from 2004.

Roadside inspections, last 24 months
Advantage Moving & Storage LLC had 4 roadside inspections in the last 24 months. 1 of its 2 vehicle inspections put a truck out of service (50.0%), above the 19.0% across all listed movers; 1 of 4 driver inspections took a driver off the road (25.0%, against 13.0%). With fewer than five inspections, a single result moves these rates by 20 points or more, so read them as a handful of events, not a pattern.

What a move with Advantage Moving & Storage LLC should cost
Not Advantage Moving & Storage LLC's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Bristol costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Bristol: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Bristol: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $43–$54 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $505 – $831.

| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $333 – $615 |

Hourly rates are scaled to Connecticut: hand movers there earn a median $20.98 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $43–$54 per mover per hour.

Before you book Advantage Moving & Storage LLC
- 1
Keep the move inside Connecticut
Advantage Moving & Storage LLC is registered for moves within Connecticut. 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 1 out-of-service order
1 of Advantage Moving & Storage LLC's 2 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 Advantage Moving & Storage 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 $505 – $831
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Bristol at $505 – $831 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $455 – $606. A surveyed, written estimate from Advantage Moving & Storage LLC far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
