In short
Butler Moving (USDOT 4170349) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within Florida, based in Tampa, FL and registered since 2023. 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 Butler Moving licensed?
Butler Moving is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 4170349) 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 3 years of registration (since 2023): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Butler Moving, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 1 truck and 1 driver, and the registration dates from 2023.

Roadside inspections, last 24 months

How Butler Moving 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 Butler Moving runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- One power unit on file, owned, a straight truck.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods, plus general freight.

What a move with Butler Moving should cost
Not Butler Moving's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Tampa costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Tampa: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Tampa: 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 Butler Moving
- 1
Keep the move inside Florida
Butler Moving 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 Tampa references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Butler Moving's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Tampa you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Butler Moving 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 Tampa at $455 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $5,252 – $7,002. A surveyed, written estimate from Butler Moving far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
