Is Move for Less licensed?
Move for Less is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 3073774) 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 9 years of registration (since 2017): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Move for Less, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 4 trucks and 4 drivers, and the registration dates from 2017.
