Roadside inspections, last 24 months
Appalachian Movers LLC had 4 roadside inspections in the last 24 months. 0 of its 2 vehicle inspections put a truck out of service (0.0%), below the 19.0% across all listed movers; 1 of 4 driver inspections took a driver off the road (25.0%, against 13.0%).

- Where its drivers work
- 1 interstate beyond 100 air miles; 2 interstate within 100 air miles; 1 intrastate within 100 air miles. Read plainly, it runs both: 1 on longer runs and 3 close to home.

- None of the 4 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 Appalachian Movers LLC runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.

- 4 power units on file (3 owned and 1 term-leased), all straight trucks.
- Miles driven
- 10,000 miles reported for 2024, about 2,500 per truck.

What a move with Appalachian Movers LLC should cost

Local moves in State College: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in State College: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $42–$53 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $495 – $817.

| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $243 – $393 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $327 – $605 |

Hourly rates are scaled to Pennsylvania: hand movers there earn a median $20.43 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $42–$53 per mover per hour.

Before you book Appalachian Movers LLC
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC863048
Appalachian Movers LLC can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC863048. 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 which truck and crew you get
Appalachian Movers LLC had 4 roadside inspections in 24 months and 0 vehicle out-of-service orders (0.0% against 19.0%). The record covers the company; the truck and crew on your day are what you are buying.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Appalachian Movers 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
Ask whose truck arrives
1 of the 4 power units Appalachian Movers LLC files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 2491872, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $495 – $817
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in State College at $495 – $817 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $1,053 – $1,404. A surveyed, written estimate from Appalachian Movers LLC far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
