Is Gray Transfer licensed?
Gray Transfer holds active interstate operating authority on the federal register (USDOT 2571490, MC897660), so it may carry household goods across state lines under its own number.
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 Gray Transfer, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 11 trucks and 9 drivers, and the registration dates from 2015.

What a move with Gray Transfer should cost
Not Gray Transfer'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 |

| 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 Gray Transfer
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC897660
Gray Transfer can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC897660. If the written estimate names a van line or another carrier, that company is the one legally responsible for your goods, so check its number too.
- 2
Ask about the 1 out-of-service order
1 of Gray Transfer's 1 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (100.0%, against 19.0% for all listed movers). Ask what failed, whether it was fixed, and which truck would do your move.
- 3
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer
Gray Transfer files 9 tractors. If a full rig cannot reach your door, the move needs a shuttle truck, which is a separate line on the bill; ask before the estimate is written.
- 4
Ask whose truck arrives
7 of the 11 power units Gray Transfer files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 2571490, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
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 $3,425 – $4,566. A surveyed, written estimate from Gray Transfer far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
