Is Minutemen Moving licensed?
Minutemen Moving is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 3281156) as an intrastate carrier: it may move you within Massachusetts, 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 7 years of registration (since 2019): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Minutemen Moving, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 1 truck and 4 drivers, and the registration dates from 2019.

- Miles driven
- 1 miles reported for 2025.
- Cargo declared

Check the truck fits your home

The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in East Falmouth at $525 – $859 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $990 – $1,320. A surveyed, written estimate from Minutemen Moving far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
