Is Tri-Star Moving LLC licensed?
Tri-Star Moving LLC is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 3116524) 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 8 years of registration (since 2018): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Tri-Star Moving LLC, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 5 trucks and 7 drivers, and the registration dates from 2018.

Roadside inspections, last 24 months
Tri-Star Moving LLC had 1 roadside inspection in the last 24 months. 1 of its 1 vehicle inspections put a truck out of service (100.0%), above the 19.0% across all listed movers; 1 of 1 driver inspections took a driver off the road (100.0%, against 13.0%). With fewer than five inspections, a single result moves these rates by 20 points or more, so read them as a handful of events, not a pattern.

How Tri-Star Moving LLC operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 7 intrastate within 100 air miles. Read plainly, every driver it files works within 100 miles, the profile of a local mover.
- Commercial driver's licences
- None of the 7 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 Tri-Star Moving LLC runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- 5 power units on file (1 owned and 4 term-leased), all straight trucks.
- Miles driven
- 50,000 miles reported for 2025, about 10,000 per truck.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods, plus general freight and other cargo.

Before you book Tri-Star Moving LLC
- 1
Keep the move inside Tennessee
Tri-Star Moving LLC 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 about the 1 out-of-service order
1 of Tri-Star Moving LLC's 1 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (100.0%, against 19.0% for all listed movers). Ask what failed, whether it was fixed, and which truck would do your move.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Tri-Star Moving 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
4 of the 5 power units Tri-Star Moving LLC files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 3116524, 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 Mount Juliet at $455 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $3,902 – $5,202. A surveyed, written estimate from Tri-Star Moving LLC far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
