In short
Flat Fee Movers (USDOT 2813400) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within Florida, based in Sarasota, FL and registered since 2015. 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 Flat Fee Movers licensed?
Flat Fee Movers is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 2813400) 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 11 years of registration (since 2015): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Flat Fee Movers, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 1 truck and 1 driver, and the registration dates from 2015.

Roadside inspections, last 24 months

How Flat Fee Movers operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 1 interstate 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 Flat Fee Movers runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- One power unit on file, term-leased, a straight truck.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods only.

What a move with Flat Fee Movers should cost
Not Flat Fee Movers's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Sarasota costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Sarasota: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Sarasota: 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 Flat Fee Movers
- 1
Keep the move inside Florida
Flat Fee Movers 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 Sarasota references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Flat Fee Movers's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Sarasota you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Flat Fee Movers 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
1 of the 1 power units Flat Fee Movers files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 2813400, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $455 – $733
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Sarasota at $455 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $5,486 – $7,314. A surveyed, written estimate from Flat Fee Movers far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
