Is Kaster Moving & Storage licensed?
Kaster Moving & Storage is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 331037) 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 38 years of registration (since 1988): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Kaster Moving & Storage, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 11 trucks and 6 drivers, and the registration dates from 1988.

Roadside inspections, last 24 months
Kaster Moving & Storage 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; 0 of 4 driver inspections took a driver off the road (0.0%, against 13.0%).

Before you book Kaster Moving & Storage
- 1
Keep the move inside Connecticut
Kaster Moving & Storage 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 Kaster Moving & Storage'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 Kaster Moving & Storage 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 Stamford at $505 – $831 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $505 – $831. A surveyed, written estimate from Kaster Moving & Storage far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
