Movers based in Kent
Ordered by the power units on each carrier's own MCS-150 filing. A local base means the crew starts its day here; it does not mean the company runs every lane you need, so ask which moves it does with its own trucks and whose USDOT number goes on the bill of lading.

What movers cost in Kent
Two formulas, from the published model. Under about 100 miles you pay for a crew's time; beyond it you pay for weight and distance. Neither number is a quote from any company on this page.
Local moves in Kent: billed by the hour
Crew × hours on site × $40–$50 per mover per hour, plus a $75 travel fee. Distance inside the metro barely matters; hours do.
| Home | Crew | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $235 – $375 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $315 – $575 |
| 2 bedrooms | 2 | 5–7 | $475 – $775 |
| 3 bedrooms | 3 | 6–9 | $795 – $1,425 |
| 4 bedrooms | 4 | 8–10 | $1,355 – $2,075 |
| 5+ bedrooms | 4 | 10–12 | $1,675 – $2,475 |
Long distance from Kent: priced by weight and miles
Full-service movers, transport only. Measured routes are driving miles; the rest are estimated and marked approximate.
| To | Miles | 2 bedrooms | 3 bedrooms |
|---|---|---|---|
| New York City, NY | ≈ 2,796 | $12,582 – $16,776 | $14,469 – $19,292 |
| Los Angeles, CA | ≈ 1,101 | $4,955 – $6,606 | $5,698 – $7,597 |
| Chicago, IL | ≈ 2,014 | $9,063 – $12,084 | $10,422 – $13,897 |

Moving out of state from Kent?
21 of the carriers here hold interstate operating authority, which a move across a state line requires. The long-distance page lists only those, with the lanes out of Kent priced by home size and the federal rules that apply once the truck crosses the border.
Long-distance movers in KentBefore you book a Kent mover
The register tells you who is licensed. These six checks tell you whether the company in front of you is the one on the register, and what the price you are quoted actually commits them to.
- 1
Open the USDOT number on the federal record
Operating authority must be active and the legal name and Kent address must match what you were told. No number, or a number that belongs to another company, ends the conversation.
- 2
Ask whose number will be on the bill of lading
A van-line agent moves you under the van line's authority; an independent under its own; a broker under a carrier you have not met. The company legally responsible for your goods is the one whose USDOT number is on the contract.
- 3
Get a surveyed, written estimate
Long-distance prices depend on weight, and nobody can weigh a home over the phone. A binding estimate fixes the price for the listed inventory; a non-binding one may not be exceeded by more than 110% at delivery.
- 4
Choose valuation before moving day
Released value pays 60 cents per pound per article. Full value protection is the default unless you waive it in writing. Decide now, not after a claim.
- 5
Pay little or nothing up front
Established carriers bill on delivery. A large deposit, especially by wire, cash or a payment app, is the most reliable warning sign in the business.
- 6
Read the estimate for the extras
Stairs, long carries, shuttle trucks, packing and storage-in-transit are separate lines. If they are not on the estimate, they will be on the bill.
More in Washington
458 listed household-goods carriers are based in Washington; the state page ranks the largest, and the long-distance page keeps only those with interstate authority.
Movers in Kent: questions people ask
How many licensed movers are there in Kent, WA?
35 household-goods carriers are registered in Kent itself on the FMCSA register, and 40 more listed carriers work within 30 miles (Renton, Tukwila, Des Moines, Seatac and nearby). All 75 hold an active registration with household goods declared and a fleet or drivers on file.
How much do movers cost in Kent?
Local moves are billed by the hour: $40–$50 per mover per hour plus about $75 travel in our model, which puts a two-bedroom home (2 movers, 5–7 hours) at $475 – $775 and a three-bedroom home at $795 – $1,425. A long-distance move from Kent to New York City, NY (about 2,796 miles) is $12,582 – $16,776 for a two-bedroom home, transport only.
Who is the largest mover near Kent?
By reported fleet, Cms Relocation & Logistics in Kent, WA, with 59 trucks on its filing (USDOT 505087). Fleet is self-reported and means capacity, not quality; read the record behind the number before you book.
Do Kent movers need a USDOT number for a local move?
A move that stays inside Washington is regulated by the state, and the carrier needs whatever Washington requires plus a USDOT number if it runs commercial trucks. 21 of the 75 carriers here also hold interstate authority, which is what a move across a state line requires.
Is this list a recommendation?
No. It is the federal register filtered to household-goods carriers based in or near Kent, ordered by distance and reported fleet. Nobody pays to appear, nothing is re-ranked, and we have used none of these companies. Every row links to the carrier's own record.
About this page. Carriers are from the FMCSA Motor Carrier Census (snapshot September 24, 2026), filtered to active registrations with household goods declared as cargo, a moving-company name and a fleet or drivers on file. "Based in Kent" is the city on the carrier's own filing; the 30-mile radius uses ZIP-code centroids from the Census Bureau. Cost figures come from the published model, not from any carrier. Nothing is re-ranked and nobody pays for placement.
