In short
Reliance Moving & Storage Inc (USDOT 1480205) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within Illinois, based in Chicago, IL and registered since 2006. Its filing lists 2 trucks and 2 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 Reliance Moving & Storage Inc licensed?
Reliance Moving & Storage Inc is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 1480205) as an intrastate carrier: it may move you within Illinois, 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 20 years of registration (since 2006): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Reliance Moving & Storage Inc, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 2 trucks and 2 drivers, and the registration dates from 2006.

How Reliance Moving & Storage Inc operates, from its filing

- 2 interstate beyond 100 air miles. Read plainly, every driver it files works beyond 100 miles, the profile of a long-distance operation.

- Miles driven
- 50,000 miles reported for 2006, about 25,000 per truck.

What a move with Reliance Moving & Storage Inc should cost
Not Reliance Moving & Storage Inc's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Chicago costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Chicago: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Chicago: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $40–$50 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $475 – $775.
| Home | Crew | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $235 – $375 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $315 – $575 |
| 2 bedrooms | 2 | 5–7 | $475 – $775 |
| 3 bedrooms | 3 | 6–9 | $795 – $1,425 |
| 4 bedrooms | 4 | 8–10 | $1,355 – $2,075 |
| 5+ bedrooms | 4 | 10–12 | $1,675 – $2,475 |
Hourly rates are scaled to Illinois: hand movers there earn a median $19.50 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $40–$50 per mover per hour.

Before you book Reliance Moving & Storage Inc
- 1
Keep the move inside Illinois
Reliance Moving & Storage Inc is registered for moves within Illinois. 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 Chicago references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Reliance Moving & Storage Inc's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Chicago you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Reliance Moving & Storage Inc 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
2 of the 2 power units Reliance Moving & Storage Inc files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 1480205, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $475 – $775
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Chicago at $475 – $775 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $3,749 – $4,998. A surveyed, written estimate from Reliance Moving & Storage Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
