Is Athens Moving Experts licensed?

How Athens Moving Experts operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 5 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
- None of the 5 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 Athens Moving Experts runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.

- 5 power units on file (5 owned), all straight trucks.
- Miles driven
- 25,000 miles reported for 2021, about 5,000 per truck.

Before you book Athens Moving Experts
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC204920
Athens Moving Experts can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC204920. 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 for Raleigh references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Athens Moving Experts's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Raleigh you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Athens Moving Experts 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 $455 – $733
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Raleigh at $455 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $2,246 – $2,994. A surveyed, written estimate from Athens Moving Experts far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
