What is True Friends Moving Company's USDOT number and is its authority active?

Is True Friends Moving Company licensed to move within Tennessee?

Tennessee state pages point at two different agencies for a company moving household goods inside Tennessee, and BestMovers.info will not pick one for you until a Tennessee page settles it. Because Tennessee's own pages do not agree on which agency authorises movers, we do not state a requirement for True Friends Moving Company here, and we have not verified its state authorisation. Holding federal interstate authority is a separate thing from holding state authorisation for a move that starts and ends inside one state.

Is True Friends Moving Company registered to carry household goods?

True Friends Moving Company 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 True Friends Moving Company's fleet?

True Friends Moving Company reports 15 power units and 16 drivers on its federal registration. Power units count trucks, tractors and other self-powered vehicles the company operates, not trailers. True Friends Moving Company last updated that federal registration on June 12, 2025, so the counts describe the fleet as filed on that date rather than today.

Does True Friends Moving Company have a federal safety rating?

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

Is True Friends Moving Company a carrier, a broker, or both?

True Friends Moving Company holds motor carrier authority on its federal licensing record and does not hold property broker authority. Carrier authority means True Friends Moving Company 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 True Friends Moving Company carries the federal liability for the shipment. The licensing record for True Friends Moving Company shows household goods authority, and no property authority, no broker authority, no passenger authority.

Is True Friends Moving Company authorised to move household goods?

True Friends Moving Company 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 True Friends Moving Company registered household goods as a cargo type. Authority is the licence to carry that freight for hire, and it has to be active for True Friends Moving Company 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.

True Friends Moving Company in one paragraph

True Friends Moving Company has been operating since 2014 (about 12 years), runs out of Madison, TN, and covers regional. Current FMCSA filing shows USDOT 2629977 and MC MC-915137. Nashville-based local mover that states it employs its crews directly as W2 staff rather than subcontracting. We hold no customer-satisfaction dataset for this company.

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, True Friends Moving Company quotes generally land in the $600–$2,400 range, with the midpoint of that estimated range near $1,500. 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 True Friends Moving Company 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

Nashville 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 True Friends Moving Company. 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 True Friends Moving Company. 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.
