In short
Handy Relocations (USDOT 3345697) is a household-goods carrier registered for interstate work, its MC authority not active in this snapshot, based in Detroit, MI and registered since 2019. 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 Handy Relocations licensed?
Handy Relocations is registered with the FMCSA as an interstate carrier (USDOT 3345697), but its MC authority (MC1182559) is not active in this snapshot. A mover needs active MC authority to carry household goods across a state line for hire, so ask whose USDOT and MC numbers will be on the bill of lading before an interstate booking.
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 Handy Relocations, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 1 truck and 1 driver, and the registration dates from 2019.

What a move with Handy Relocations should cost
Not Handy Relocations's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Detroit costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Detroit: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Detroit: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $39–$48 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $465 – $747.
| Home | Crew | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $231 – $363 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $309 – $555 |
| 2 bedrooms | 2 | 5–7 | $465 – $747 |
| 3 bedrooms | 3 | 6–9 | $777 – $1,371 |
| 4 bedrooms | 4 | 8–10 | $1,323 – $1,995 |
| 5+ bedrooms | 4 | 10–12 | $1,635 – $2,379 |
Hourly rates are scaled to Michigan: hand movers there earn a median $18.68 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $39–$48 per mover per hour.

Before you book Handy Relocations
- 1
Ask whose authority an interstate move would use
MC1182559 shows as inactive in the September 24, 2026 snapshot. Check the live FMCSA record before booking Handy Relocations for anything that crosses a state line.
- 2
Ask for Detroit references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Handy Relocations's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Detroit you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Judge the estimate against $465 – $747
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Detroit at $465 – $747 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $2,525 – $3,366. A surveyed, written estimate from Handy Relocations far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
