In short
Fisher Moving (USDOT 970193) is a household-goods carrier registered for interstate work, its MC authority not active in this snapshot, based in Portland, OR and registered since 2001. 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 Fisher Moving licensed?
Fisher Moving is registered with the FMCSA as an interstate carrier (USDOT 970193), but it has no MC operating authority on record in this snapshot. A mover needs active MC authority to carry household goods across a state line for hire, so ask whose USDOT and MC numbers will be on the bill of lading before an interstate booking.
It has no safety rating on record in 25 years of registration (since 2001): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Fisher Moving, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 1 truck and 1 driver, and the registration dates from 2001.

Roadside inspections, last 24 months
Fisher Moving had no roadside inspection in the 24 months FMCSA's Safety Measurement System covers (file of September 13, 2026). Of the 111 other listed movers within 30 miles of Portland, 62 had none either.
How Fisher 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 Fisher Moving runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- One power unit on file, owned, a straight truck.
- Miles driven
- 25,000 miles reported for 2002.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods, plus general freight, building materials and construction.

What a move with Fisher Moving should cost
Not Fisher Moving's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Portland costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Portland: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Portland: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $44–$56 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $515 – $859.
| Home | Crew | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $251 – $411 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $339 – $635 |
| 2 bedrooms | 2 | 5–7 | $515 – $859 |
| 3 bedrooms | 3 | 6–9 | $867 – $1,587 |
| 4 bedrooms | 4 | 8–10 | $1,483 – $2,315 |
| 5+ bedrooms | 4 | 10–12 | $1,835 – $2,763 |
Hourly rates are scaled to Oregon: hand movers there earn a median $21.52 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $44–$56 per mover per hour.

Before you book Fisher Moving
- 1
Ask whose authority an interstate move would use
No MC number is on record in the September 24, 2026 snapshot. Check the live FMCSA record before booking Fisher Moving for anything that crosses a state line.
- 2
Ask for Portland references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Fisher Moving's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Portland you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Fisher 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 – $859
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Portland at $515 – $859 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $12,780 – $17,040. A surveyed, written estimate from Fisher Moving far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
