In short
Hornet Moving LLC (USDOT 2841083) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within North Carolina, based in Charlotte, NC and registered since 2016. Its filing lists 28 trucks and 23 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 Hornet Moving LLC licensed?
Hornet Moving LLC is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 2841083) 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 10 years of registration (since 2016): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Hornet Moving LLC, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 28 trucks and 23 drivers, and the registration dates from 2016.

How Hornet Moving LLC operates, from its filing

- 28 power units on file (28 owned), all straight trucks.
- Miles driven
- 300,000 miles reported for 2026, about 10,714 per truck.

Local moves in Charlotte: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Charlotte: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $38–$47 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $455 – $733.
| Home | Crew | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $227 – $357 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $303 – $545 |
| 2 bedrooms | 2 | 5–7 | $455 – $733 |

Hourly rates are scaled to North Carolina: hand movers there earn a median $18.38 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $38–$47 per mover per hour.

Before you book Hornet Moving LLC
- 1
Keep the move inside North Carolina
Hornet Moving LLC 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 Charlotte references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Hornet Moving LLC's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Charlotte you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Hornet Moving LLC 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 Charlotte at $455 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $2,772 – $3,696. A surveyed, written estimate from Hornet Moving LLC far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
