Is Mountain Moving & Storage licensed?
Mountain Moving & Storage is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 885643) as an intrastate carrier: it may move you within Washington, 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 26 years of registration (since 2000): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Mountain Moving & Storage, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 13 trucks and 9 drivers, and the registration dates from 2000.

- 13 power units on file (13 owned), 1 of them a tractor that can pull a trailer, plus 11 trailers.
- Miles driven

What a move with Mountain Moving & Storage should cost
Not Mountain Moving & Storage's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Tacoma costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Tacoma: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Tacoma: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $46–$57 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $535 – $873.
| Home | Crew | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $259 – $417 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $351 – $645 |
| 2 bedrooms | 2 | 5–7 | $535 – $873 |
| 3 bedrooms | 3 | 6–9 | $903 – $1,614 |
| 4 bedrooms | 4 | 8–10 | $1,547 – $2,355 |
| 5+ bedrooms | 4 | 10–12 | $1,915 – $2,811 |
Hourly rates are scaled to Washington: hand movers there earn a median $22.21 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $46–$57 per mover per hour.

Before you book Mountain Moving & Storage
- 1
Keep the move inside Washington
Mountain Moving & Storage is registered for moves within Washington. 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 2 out-of-service orders
2 of Mountain Moving & Storage's 8 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (25.0%, 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 Mountain Moving & Storage 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
Judge the estimate against $535 – $873
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Tacoma at $535 – $873 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $12,668 – $16,890. A surveyed, written estimate from Mountain Moving & Storage far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
