In short
Arms (USDOT 2531583) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within Florida, based in Sanford, FL and registered since 2014. Its filing lists 1 truck and 1 driver. It has no FMCSA safety rating. It had no roadside inspection in the last 24 months, so there is no inspection record either way.
Is Arms licensed?
Arms is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 2531583) as an intrastate carrier: it may move you within Florida, 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 12 years of registration (since 2014): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Arms, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 1 truck and 1 driver, and the registration dates from 2014.

Roadside inspections, last 24 months

How Arms operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 1 intrastate within 100 air miles. Read plainly, every driver it files works within 100 miles, the profile of a local mover.
- Commercial driver's licences
- Its one driver does not hold a CDL. A CDL is required to drive a truck rated over 26,000 lb, so on its own filing Arms runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- One power unit on file, owned, a straight truck.
- Miles driven
- 999 miles reported for 2025.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods, plus general freight.

What a move with Arms should cost
Not Arms's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Sanford costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Sanford: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Sanford: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $38–$47 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $455 – $733.
| Home | Crew | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $227 – $357 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $303 – $545 |
| 2 bedrooms | 2 | 5–7 | $455 – $733 |
| 3 bedrooms | 3 | 6–9 | $759 – $1,344 |
| 4 bedrooms | 4 | 8–10 | $1,291 – $1,955 |
| 5+ bedrooms | 4 | 10–12 | $1,595 – $2,331 |
Hourly rates are scaled to Florida: hand movers there earn a median $18.35 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $38–$47 per mover per hour.

Before you book Arms
- 1
Keep the move inside Florida
Arms is registered for moves within Florida. 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 for Sanford references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Arms's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Sanford you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Arms 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 $455 – $733
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Sanford at $455 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $4,829 – $6,438. A surveyed, written estimate from Arms far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.

Ask whose USDOT number would be on the bill of lading.

It has no safety rating on record in 12 years of registration (since 2014): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Arms, and not a mark for it.
