Is Pauly's Movers licensed?
Pauly's Movers is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 3218004) as an intrastate carrier: it may move you within Maryland, 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 Pauly's Movers, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 1 truck and 1 driver, and the registration dates from 2018.

How Pauly's Movers operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 1 intrastate beyond 100 air miles. Read plainly, every driver it files works beyond 100 miles, the profile of a long-distance operation.
- 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 Pauly's Movers runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- One power unit on file, owned, a straight truck.
- Miles driven
- 15,000 miles reported for 2025.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods, plus other cargo.

What a move with Pauly's Movers should cost
Not Pauly's Movers's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Sykesville costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Sykesville: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Sykesville: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $41–$52 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $485 – $803.

| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $239 – $387 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $321 – $595 |

Hourly rates are scaled to Maryland: hand movers there earn a median $20.00 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $41–$52 per mover per hour.

Before you book Pauly's Movers
- 1
Keep the move inside Maryland
Pauly's Movers is registered for moves within Maryland. 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 3 out-of-service orders
3 of Pauly's Movers's 11 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (27.3%, 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 Pauly's 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
Judge the estimate against $485 – $803
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Sykesville at $485 – $803 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $950 – $1,266. A surveyed, written estimate from Pauly's Movers far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
