What is Moving APT's USDOT number and is its authority active?

The USDOT number of Moving APT is 2247863. The registration status of Moving APT is recorded as A. This reflects the federal record as of 2026-08-13.

Is Moving APT licensed to move within Florida?

For a move that stays inside Florida, movers are authorised by Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and the authorisation is called Household Moving Services Registration, issued as an Intrastate Mover (IM) number. The agency publishes no public lookup and no recorded phone or email for verifying an individual mover. We have not verified Moving APT's Florida 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.

What is Moving APT's USDOT number?

Does Moving APT have a federal safety rating?

Moving APT 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 Moving APT. It means no rating review has been recorded, and the other federal registration details remain the material check.

Is Moving APT a carrier, a broker, or both?

Moving APT holds property broker authority on its federal licensing record and does not hold motor carrier authority. A broker arranges the move; a different licensed company performs it. That means Moving APT will not be the company whose crew arrives on moving day, and the carrier it assigns is the one that loads, drives and delivers your goods. Ask Moving APT which carrier has been assigned before you sign anything. The licensing record for Moving APT shows household goods authority, property authority, broker authority, and no passenger authority.

Is Moving APT authorised to move household goods?

Moving APT does not hold active household goods authority on its federal licensing record. The licensing file shows authority for Moving APT in other categories rather than in household goods. This is a statement about the federal licence only. It does not describe intrastate work, which states license separately, and it does not describe any company that Moving APT may work with.

Information provided by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.

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.

Moving APT in one paragraph

Moving APT has been operating since 1999 (about 27 years), runs out of Fort Lauderdale, FL, and covers all 50 states. Current FMCSA filing shows USDOT 2247863 and MC 731090. Moving APT arranges household goods moves that other licensed carriers perform. Ask for the assigned carrier's legal name and USDOT number, and check that record yourself, before you commit.

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, Moving APT quotes generally land in the $2,500–$6,200 range, with the midpoint of that estimated range near $4,350. 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 Moving APT 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

Comparing multiple long-distance carriers in one quote. That is an editorial view of fit, not a measured performance result: we hold no complaint-rate, claims-outcome or satisfaction dataset for Moving APT. 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 Moving APT. 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 Moving APT, 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.
