In short
Capital Movers (USDOT 1982697) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within New York, based in Albany, NY and registered since 2010. 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 Capital Movers licensed?
Capital Movers is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 1982697) as an intrastate carrier: it may move you within New York, 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 16 years of registration (since 2010): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Capital Movers, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 1 truck and 1 driver, and the registration dates from 2010.

Roadside inspections, last 24 months

How Capital Movers operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 1 intrastate within 100 air miles. Read plainly, every driver it files works within 100 miles, the profile of a local mover.
- 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 Capital Movers runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- One power unit on file, owned, a straight truck.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods only.

What a move with Capital Movers should cost
Not Capital Movers's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Albany costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Albany: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Albany: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $44–$55 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $515 – $845.
| Home | Crew | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $251 – $405 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $339 – $625 |
| 2 bedrooms | 2 | 5–7 | $515 – $845 |
| 3 bedrooms | 3 | 6–9 | $867 – $1,560 |
| 4 bedrooms | 4 | 8–10 | $1,483 – $2,275 |
| 5+ bedrooms | 4 | 10–12 | $1,835 – $2,715 |
Hourly rates are scaled to New York: hand movers there earn a median $21.46 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $44–$55 per mover per hour.

Before you book Capital Movers
- 1
Keep the move inside New York
Capital Movers is registered for moves within New York. 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 Albany references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Capital Movers's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Albany you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Capital 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 $515 – $845
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Albany at $515 – $845 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $729 – $972. A surveyed, written estimate from Capital Movers far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
