What is MoveGreen's USDOT number and is its authority active?

The USDOT number of MoveGreen is 1778050. The registration status of MoveGreen is recorded as A. This reflects the federal record as of 2026-08-13.

Is MoveGreen licensed to move within California?

For a move that stays inside California, movers are authorised by Bureau of Household Goods and Services, part of the California Department of Consumer Affairs, and the authorisation is called Household Movers (HHM) permit, commonly called a Cal-T number. A consumer can check an individual mover in the agency's own public lookup. We have not verified MoveGreen's California authorisation, and nothing here says it lacks one. Holding federal interstate authority is a separate thing from holding state authorisation for a move that starts and ends inside one state.

Is MoveGreen registered to carry household goods?

MoveGreen lists household goods among the cargo classifications on its federal census record, alongside no other class. A cargo classification records what the company registered on its MCS-150 form. It is not the same thing as active household goods operating authority, which is held on a separate federal licensing and insurance record and has to be checked there.

How big is MoveGreen's fleet?

MoveGreen reports 12 power units and 13 drivers on its federal registration. Power units count trucks, tractors and other self-powered vehicles the company operates, not trailers. MoveGreen last updated that federal registration on May 8, 2026, so the counts describe the fleet as filed on that date rather than today.

Does MoveGreen have a federal safety rating?

MoveGreen has no federal safety rating on its census record. Most interstate carriers have never had a compliance review, and a rating is only assigned after one, so the absence of a rating is not a negative signal about MoveGreen. It means no rating review has been recorded, and the other federal registration details remain the material check.

Is MoveGreen a carrier, a broker, or both?

MoveGreen holds motor carrier authority on its federal licensing record and does not hold property broker authority. Carrier authority means MoveGreen is licensed to perform moves with its own trucks and crews rather than arrange them through another company. The crew that arrives on moving day works under this authority, and MoveGreen carries the federal liability for the shipment. The licensing record for MoveGreen shows household goods authority, and no property authority, no broker authority, no passenger authority.

Is MoveGreen authorised to move household goods?

MoveGreen holds active operating authority covering household goods on its federal licensing record. This is a stronger statement than the cargo classification on the census registration, which only records that MoveGreen registered household goods as a cargo type. Authority is the licence to carry that freight for hire, and it has to be active for MoveGreen to move a household across state lines lawfully.

How much can a mover charge above a non-binding estimate?

On an interstate move priced with a non-binding estimate, a mover may require no more than 110% of the estimated charges before it will release your goods at delivery. That cap is set by 49 CFR 375.407, and it applies to the mover you hire regardless of what the final weight turns out to be. Anything owed above that amount is not payable on delivery day: the mover must bill you for it, and you have 30 days from delivery to pay it under 49 CFR 375.407.

Source: 49 CFR 375.407, eCFR

What is a mover liable for if my belongings are damaged?

Every interstate mover must offer released value, the no-extra-charge level of liability set by 49 CFR 375.701. Under released value the mover owes 60 cents per pound per article, so a claim is settled on what a damaged item weighs rather than on what it is worth. A heavy item pays out more than a light expensive one. The alternative is full value protection, which a mover must also offer, costs extra, and settles at repair, replacement, or a cash equivalent. Released value applies by default if you sign nothing else.

MoveGreen in one paragraph

MoveGreen has been operating since 2007 (about 19 years), runs out of Oxnard, CA, and covers regional. Current FMCSA filing shows USDOT 1778050 and MC MC-648608. California mover with biodiesel fleet and 100% recycled packing materials. Strong fit for Southern California eco-conscious households.

Estimated cost of a move with this carrier

This is an estimated quote range, not a record of prices paid. For a 2-bedroom interstate move, MoveGreen quotes generally land in the $700–$2,700 range, with the midpoint of that estimated range near $1,700. The low end of that range usually applies to off-season runs under 1,000 miles with self-packing; the high end shows up on full-service summer moves over 2,000 miles.

Local hourly pricing through MoveGreen is not published by the company and we hold no rate card for it. Our national editorial estimate for a two-mover crew and a truck on a local move is $105 to $155 an hour, May 2026, and it is a model figure rather than a quote from this carrier. Ask whether travel time, fuel surcharge, and stair fees sit inside or outside the hourly number, because that is where two apparently identical quotes diverge.

Where this carrier may fit

California eco-friendly local moves. That is an editorial view of fit, not a measured performance result: we hold no complaint-rate, claims-outcome or satisfaction dataset for MoveGreen. Three things make any move with this company more predictable, whatever the carrier: an inventory list locked in two or more weeks ahead, a binding not-to-exceed estimate in writing, and a destination ZIP the company services directly rather than through a subcontracted agent.

How to work around the main trade-off

The trade-off summarised at the top of this page is the one that most often costs readers money with MoveGreen. Two questions defuse it at quote stage: ask for the specific line items that drive the number up on your move profile, and ask whether the crew at your origin is employed directly or subcontracted to a local agent.

Then price the same inventory with one alternative below. A second quote on identical inventory is the only reliable way to tell whether the premium buys you anything on your particular lane.

Booking process, step by step

  • Request a quote with a complete inventory list. Online forms are fine for a first pass; a video survey is what makes a binding number stick.
  • Insist on binding-not-to-exceed in writing. Federal rules let a carrier collect up to 110% of a non-binding estimate at delivery, with the balance billed later; a binding not-to-exceed estimate removes that exposure.
  • Confirm valuation coverage. Released value (the federal default) pays $0.60 per pound. Full-value protection costs more but actually replaces a damaged TV.
  • Confirm pickup and delivery windows. For interstate jobs the delivery window is a range, not a date — plan accordingly.
  • On move day, walk the truck and check the inventory list before signing the Bill of Lading. Note any pre-existing damage on the form.

What this page does and does not say

We publish no numeric score, star rating or ranked order for MoveGreen, and we recommend no company over another. What this page carries is the federal registration record above and the sourced facts beside it. Read those, then price the same written inventory with one alternative before you sign.
