In short
Max Moving (USDOT 656493) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within New York, based in South Ozone Park, NY and registered since 1996. Its filing lists 1 truck and 8 drivers. 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 Max Moving licensed?
Max Moving is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 656493) 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 30 years of registration (since 1996): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Max Moving, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 1 truck and 8 drivers, and the registration dates from 1996.

Roadside inspections, last 24 months

How Max Moving operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 2 interstate beyond 100 air miles; 2 interstate within 100 air miles; 2 intrastate beyond 100 air miles; 2 intrastate within 100 air miles. Read plainly, it runs both: 4 on longer runs and 4 close to home.
- Commercial driver's licences
- None of the 8 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 Max Moving runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- One power unit on file, owned, a straight truck.
- Miles driven
- 5,000 miles reported for 2008.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods only.

Before you book Max Moving
- 1
Keep the move inside New York
Max Moving 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 South Ozone Park references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Max Moving's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near South Ozone Park you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Max 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
Judge the estimate against $515 – $845
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in South Ozone Park at $515 – $845 and a two-bedroom move to Los Angeles, CA at $12,888 – $17,184. A surveyed, written estimate from Max Moving far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
