Is Wissahickon Moving Company licensed?
Wissahickon Moving Company is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 4146822) as an intrastate carrier: it may move you within Pennsylvania, 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 3 years of registration (since 2023): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Wissahickon Moving Company, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 1 truck and 3 drivers, and the registration dates from 2023.

What a move with Wissahickon Moving Company should cost
Not Wissahickon Moving Company's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Philadelphia costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Philadelphia: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Philadelphia: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $42–$53 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $495 – $817.
| Home | Crew | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $243 – $393 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $327 – $605 |
| 2 bedrooms | 2 | 5–7 | $495 – $817 |

| 5+ bedrooms | 4 | 10–12 | $1,755 – $2,619 |
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.

Judge the estimate against $495 – $817
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Philadelphia at $495 – $817 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $495 – $817. A surveyed, written estimate from Wissahickon Moving Company far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
