In short
Russells Trucking and Moving (USDOT 2497950) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within New York, based in Brooklyn, NY and registered since 2014. 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 Russells Trucking and Moving licensed?
Russells Trucking and Moving is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 2497950) 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 12 years of registration (since 2014): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Russells Trucking and Moving, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 1 truck and 1 driver, and the registration dates from 2014.

How Russells Trucking and Moving operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 1 interstate 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
- 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 Russells Trucking and Moving runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- One power unit on file, owned, a straight truck.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods, plus general freight, metal and coils, motor vehicles, logs and lumber, building materials, mobile homes, fresh produce, liquids and gases, oilfield equipment, livestock, meat, US mail, chemicals, dry bulk, refrigerated food, beverages, paper products, utilities, farm supplies, construction, water well and other cargo.

What a move with Russells Trucking and Moving should cost
Not Russells Trucking and Moving's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Brooklyn costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Brooklyn: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Brooklyn: 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 |

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 Russells Trucking and Moving
- 1
Keep the move inside New York
Russells Trucking and 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 Brooklyn references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Russells Trucking and Moving's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Brooklyn you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Russells Trucking and 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 Brooklyn at $515 – $845 and a two-bedroom move to Los Angeles, CA at $12,870 – $17,160. A surveyed, written estimate from Russells Trucking and Moving far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
