Is RCS Moving licensed?
RCS Moving holds active interstate operating authority on the federal register (USDOT 805773, MC376501), so it may carry household goods across state lines under its own number.
It has no safety rating on record in 27 years of registration (since 1999): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against RCS Moving, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 31 trucks and 58 drivers, and the registration dates from 1999.

How RCS Moving operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 58 interstate beyond 100 air miles. Read plainly, every driver it files works beyond 100 miles, the profile of a long-distance operation.
- Commercial driver's licences
- None of the 58 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 RCS Moving runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- 31 power units on file (21 owned and 10 term-leased), all straight trucks.
- Miles driven
- 353,600 miles reported for 2024, about 11,406 per truck.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods, plus general freight and other cargo.

What a move with RCS Moving should cost
Not RCS Moving's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Richmond costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Richmond: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Richmond: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $39–$49 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $465 – $761.
| Home | Crew | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $231 – $369 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $309 – $565 |
| 2 bedrooms | 2 | 5–7 | $465 – $761 |

| 4 bedrooms | 4 | 8–10 | $1,323 – $2,035 |
| 5+ bedrooms | 4 | 10–12 | $1,635 – $2,427 |
Hourly rates are scaled to Virginia: hand movers there earn a median $18.94 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $39–$49 per mover per hour.

Before you book RCS Moving
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC376501
RCS Moving can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC376501. 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
RCS Moving had 10 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 RCS Moving 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
10 of the 31 power units RCS Moving files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 805773, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $465 – $761
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Richmond at $465 – $761 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $1,499 – $1,998. A surveyed, written estimate from RCS Moving far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
