In short
Tropic Moving (USDOT 3125141) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within Florida, based in Melbourne, FL and registered since 2018. Its filing lists 3 trucks and 4 drivers. 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 Tropic Moving licensed?
Tropic Moving is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 3125141) 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 8 years of registration (since 2018): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Tropic Moving, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 3 trucks and 4 drivers, and the registration dates from 2018.

Roadside inspections, last 24 months

How Tropic Moving operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 2 intrastate beyond 100 air miles; 2 intrastate within 100 air miles. Read plainly, it runs both: 2 on longer runs and 2 close to home.
- Commercial driver's licences
- None of the 4 drivers on its latest filing holds a CDL. A CDL is required to drive a truck rated over 26,000 lb, so on its own filing Tropic Moving runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- 3 power units on file (3 owned), all straight trucks.
- Miles driven
- 75,000 miles reported for 2025, about 25,000 per truck.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods, plus other cargo.

What a move with Tropic Moving should cost
Not Tropic Moving's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Melbourne costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Melbourne: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Melbourne: 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 Tropic Moving
- 1
Keep the move inside Florida
Tropic 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 Melbourne references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Tropic Moving's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Melbourne you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Tropic 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 Melbourne at $455 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $4,977 – $6,636. A surveyed, written estimate from Tropic Moving far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
