Is Apple Moving licensed?
Apple Moving holds active interstate operating authority on the federal register (USDOT 3538096, MC1361596), so it may carry household goods across state lines under its own number.
It has no safety rating on record in 6 years of registration (since 2020): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Apple Moving, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 185 trucks and 120 drivers, and the registration dates from 2020.

What a move with Apple Moving should cost
Not Apple Moving's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Austin costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Austin: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Austin: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $37–$47 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $445 – $733.

Hourly rates are scaled to Texas: hand movers there earn a median $18.05 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $37–$47 per mover per hour.

Before you book Apple Moving
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1361596
Apple Moving can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1361596. 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 about the 4 out-of-service orders
4 of Apple Moving's 17 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (23.5%, against 19.0% for all listed movers). Ask what failed, whether it was fixed, and which truck would do your move.
- 3
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer
Apple Moving files 54 tractors. If a full rig cannot reach your door, the move needs a shuttle truck, which is a separate line on the bill; ask before the estimate is written.
- 4
Judge the estimate against $445 – $733
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Austin at $445 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $7,907 – $10,542. A surveyed, written estimate from Apple Moving far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
