Is Joe's Moving licensed?
Joe's Moving holds active interstate operating authority on the federal register (USDOT 2643923, MC1458048), so it may carry household goods across state lines under its own number.
It has no safety rating on record in 11 years of registration (since 2015): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Joe's Moving, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 4 trucks and 4 drivers, and the registration dates from 2015.

How Joe's Moving operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 2 interstate beyond 100 air miles; 2 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
- None of the 4 drivers on its latest filing holds a CDL. A CDL is required to drive a truck rated over 26,000 lb, so on its own filing Joe's Moving runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- 4 power units on file (3 owned and 1 term-leased), all straight trucks.
- Miles driven
- 120,000 miles reported for 2026, about 30,000 per truck.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods, plus general freight.

What a move with Joe's Moving should cost
Not Joe's Moving's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Rochester costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Rochester: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Rochester: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $44–$55 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $515 – $845.

|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $251 – $405 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $339 – $625 |

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 Joe's Moving
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1458048
Joe's Moving can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1458048. If the written estimate names a van line or another carrier, that company is the one legally responsible for your goods, so check its number too.
- 2
Ask which truck and crew you get
Joe's Moving had 9 roadside inspections in 24 months and 1 vehicle out-of-service order (11.1% against 19.0%). The record covers the company; the truck and crew on your day are what you are buying.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Joe's Moving 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
Ask whose truck arrives
1 of the 4 power units Joe's Moving files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 2643923, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $515 – $845
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Rochester at $515 – $845 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $1,319 – $1,758. A surveyed, written estimate from Joe's Moving far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
