Is Cardinal Moving LLC licensed?
Cardinal Moving LLC is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 2464685) as an intrastate carrier: it may move you within Kentucky, 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 Cardinal Moving LLC, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 22 trucks and 21 drivers, and the registration dates from 2014.

What a move with Cardinal Moving LLC should cost
Not Cardinal Moving LLC's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Louisville costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Louisville: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Louisville: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $43–$53 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $505 – $817.
| Home | Crew | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $247 – $393 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $333 – $605 |
| 2 bedrooms | 2 | 5–7 | $505 – $817 |
| 3 bedrooms | 3 | 6–9 | $849 – $1,506 |
| 4 bedrooms | 4 | 8–10 | $1,451 – $2,195 |
| 5+ bedrooms | 4 | 10–12 | $1,795 – $2,619 |
Hourly rates are scaled to Kentucky: hand movers there earn a median $20.56 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $43–$53 per mover per hour.

Before you book Cardinal Moving LLC
- 1
Keep the move inside Kentucky
Cardinal Moving LLC is registered for moves within Kentucky. 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 about the 1 out-of-service order
1 of Cardinal Moving LLC's 5 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (20.0%, against 19.0% for all listed movers). Ask what failed, whether it was fixed, and which truck would do your move.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Cardinal Moving LLC 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 $505 – $817
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Louisville at $505 – $817 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $3,344 – $4,458. A surveyed, written estimate from Cardinal Moving LLC far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
