In short
Discount Movers (USDOT 1072902) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within North Carolina, based in Brown Summit, NC and registered since 2002. Its filing lists 2 trucks and 2 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 Discount Movers licensed?
Discount Movers is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 1072902) as an intrastate carrier: it may move you within North Carolina, 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 24 years of registration (since 2002): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Discount Movers, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 2 trucks and 2 drivers, and the registration dates from 2002.

How Discount Movers operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 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 2 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 Discount Movers runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- 2 power units on file (1 owned and 1 term-leased), all straight trucks.
- Miles driven
- 20,000 miles reported for 2002, about 10,000 per truck.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods only.

Before you book Discount Movers
- 1
Keep the move inside North Carolina
Discount Movers is registered for moves within North Carolina. 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 Brown Summit references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Discount Movers's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Brown Summit you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Discount 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
Ask whose truck arrives
1 of the 2 power units Discount Movers files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 1072902, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $455 – $733
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Brown Summit at $455 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $2,291 – $3,054. A surveyed, written estimate from Discount Movers far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
