In short
Music City Movers (USDOT 1831165) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within Tennessee, based in Nashville, TN and registered since 2008. 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 Music City Movers licensed?
Music City Movers is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 1831165) as an intrastate carrier: it may move you within Tennessee, 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 18 years of registration (since 2008): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Music City Movers, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 2 trucks and 2 drivers, and the registration dates from 2008.

What a move with Music City Movers should cost
Not Music City Movers's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Nashville costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Nashville: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Nashville: 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 Tennessee: hand movers there earn a median $18.35 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 Music City Movers
- 1
Keep the move inside Tennessee
Music City Movers is registered for moves within Tennessee. 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 Nashville references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Music City Movers's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Nashville you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Judge the estimate against $455 – $733
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Nashville at $455 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $3,983 – $5,310. A surveyed, written estimate from Music City Movers far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
