In short
Santos Moving (USDOT 3207947) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within Massachusetts, based in Ashland, MA and registered since 2018. Its filing lists 1 truck and 1 driver. 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 Santos Moving licensed?
Santos Moving is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 3207947) 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 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 Santos Moving, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 1 truck and 1 driver, and the registration dates from 2018.

Hourly rates are scaled to Massachusetts: hand movers there earn a median $21.60 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $45–$56 per mover per hour.

Before you book Santos Moving
- 1
Keep the move inside Massachusetts
Santos Moving is registered for moves within Massachusetts. 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 Ashland references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Santos Moving's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Ashland you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Judge the estimate against $525 – $859
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Ashland at $525 – $859 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $887 – $1,182. A surveyed, written estimate from Santos Moving far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
