Is Royalty Moving & Storage licensed?
Royalty Moving & Storage is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 4040232) 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 3 years of registration (since 2023): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Royalty Moving & Storage, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 3 trucks and 3 drivers, and the registration dates from 2023.

What a move with Royalty Moving & Storage should cost
Not Royalty Moving & Storage's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Seattle costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Seattle: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Seattle: 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 Royalty Moving & Storage
- 1
Keep the move inside Washington
Royalty 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 Royalty Moving & Storage's 5 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (40.0%, 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 Royalty 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 Seattle at $535 – $873 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $12,614 – $16,818. A surveyed, written estimate from Royalty Moving & Storage far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
