In short
The Best Movers (USDOT 4287818) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within North Carolina, based in Charlotte, NC and registered since 2024. 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 The Best Movers licensed?
The Best Movers is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 4287818) 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 2 years of registration (since 2024): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against The Best Movers, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 2 trucks and 2 drivers, and the registration dates from 2024.

- 2 intrastate within 100 air miles. Read plainly, every driver it files works within 100 miles, the profile of a local mover.

- Miles driven
- 1 miles reported for 2024, about 1 per truck.

What a move with The Best Movers should cost
Not The Best Movers's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Charlotte costs, to judge a written estimate against.
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 |
| 3 bedrooms | 3 | 6–9 | $759 – $1,344 |
| 4 bedrooms | 4 | 8–10 | $1,291 – $1,955 |
| 5+ bedrooms | 4 | 10–12 | $1,595 – $2,331 |
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 The Best Movers
- 1
Keep the move inside North Carolina
The Best 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 Charlotte references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about The Best Movers'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 The Best 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
2 of the 2 power units The Best Movers files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 4287818, 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 Charlotte at $455 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $2,835 – $3,780. A surveyed, written estimate from The Best Movers far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
