38 Long Island moving companies, one record line each
This is every moving company we checked for Long Island, 17 based in Nassau, 19 based in Suffolk and 2 that rank for Long Island searches from somewhere else. Each card carries the same three facts. Nothing here is ranked.
The record line is one of four things, and each means something different
The record line is what FMCSA’s SAFER system showed on 21 October 2026.
USDOT526079Authorized interstatePower units1724 of 38
24 of the 38 hold authorized interstate carrier authority.
A line that reads USDOT, authorized interstate carrier and a power unit count means SAFER showed an active USDOT status and an authority line of Authorized on 21 October 2026. The number is the company’s own record, even when its site prints a van line’s number instead.
No interstate authority on file9 of 38
9 have an active USDOT number with no interstate authority on file, which covers a mover that works only inside New York and answers to NYSDOT.
A line that reads no interstate authority on file means SAFER showed NOT AUTHORIZED, with SAFER’s own note that this does not apply to intrastate operations. The Moving Genie says it moves only within New York State, and its record says Intrastate Only. Luis Moving advertises long distance moves with the same record status, so ask who carries the interstate leg.
No federal record found4 of 38
4 have no federal record we could find under the name on their site, and 1 prints a number SAFER lists as inactive.
A line that reads no federal record found means SAFER name searches returned nothing we could tie to the site, and the site prints no USDOT number. The company may hold a record under another legal name. Ask for that name and the number.
Printed number inactive1 of 38
The last kind of line, used once, is a printed number that SAFER lists as inactive.
Most rates lines read Publishes no rate, and that is the finding
RatesPublishes no rate
31 of 38
The rates line says whether the company prints a price, and if so what.
4 of the 38 print a price for a move or for the liability sold on a move: LIM Movers, Safeway, Charles Wood and Samonas. 3 more print a dollar figure for something other than the move. The remaining 31 print no dollar figure of any kind. The one line under each name is a fact from the company’s own site or its record, never a rating or a review count.
Two companies on the list are based outside Long Island, and the cards say so
Commack, Suffolk County
2 of 38
The town is the one on the company’s own site, with the record’s town noted when the two differ.
Two Men and a Truck’s Long Island page prints no street address, and the franchisee’s federal record sits in Elmsford, Westchester County. Safeway Moving’s Nassau County page names villages from Great Neck to Massapequa, but its site gives a Fort Lauderdale headquarters and its record an Indiana address. Five Long Island companies also carry a record town that differs from their site, LM & Sons, Tri-State, Quality Moving, Samonas and All Terrain, and the cards print both.
Mayflower agent, since 1945 by its own count, Old Bethpage headquarters by its own claim; the footer prints Mayflower’s USDOT 125563 beside its NY DOT T2054 (first party).
Founded 1950 per its home page and 1970 per its about page; the USDOT and MC it prints, 070851 and MC-107012, belong to North American Van Lines per SAFER.
No company matches that. Try a town name or clear the box.
What we read, and whenFMCSA SAFER company snapshots for all 38 companies, read 21 October 2026; each company’s own website, read 21 October 2026. Insurance on file (FMCSA Licensing and Insurance) and the New York State certificate (NYSDOT CarCert) could not be checked for any company on that date.
