What the federal files say about Alaska
The FMCSA Motor Carrier Census lists 72 active interstate for hire carriers with a Alaska address that tick household goods on their MCS-150 form. Of those, 23 also carry active household goods operating authority in the federal licensing files, which is 32 percent. The rest can legally haul freight across state lines but not a household for hire.
Between them the 23 authorized carriers report 401 power units and 345 drivers. The median fleet is 10 power units, and 7 of them report three trucks or fewer. The largest is Sourdough Express INC of Fairbanks at 113 power units and 137 drivers. 3 of the 23 filed or updated an MCS-150 during 2026, so the rest of the fleet numbers on this page are older self reported figures.
Registration addresses cluster: 65 percent of Alaska movers sit in the top 2 metro areas listed below, led by Anchorage, AK with 14.

All 23 registered interstate movers in Alaska
Sorted by reported power units. Fleet and driver counts are self reported on form MCS-150 and are only as current as the carrier’s last filing. 4 carriers are listed here without a record page, either because the federal files carry too little on them or because an unrescinded out of service order is recorded against the USDOT number.

Complaint history is not published here
FMCSA records household goods complaints in the National Consumer Complaint Database. That database has no bulk or export route open to the public, so no complaint counts appear on this site. Check the company yourself before you book. The FMCSA mover search returns complaint counts for the past three years alongside the registration record.
Our walkthrough of those lookups is on the FMCSA SAFER mover lookup guide.
What a move out of Alaska costs
A full service van line is the most expensive of the eight methods this site ranks. These are our national cost bands for a two bedroom home, off peak, from cost by distance. Peak season, June through August, adds 30 to 40 percent.

| 500 to 1,000 mi | $1,100 - $2,500 | $1,800 - $3,200 | $1,500 - $2,800 | $2,500 - $5,500 |

Every company on these pages is registered with FMCSA. Registration is a filing requirement, not an endorsement, a licence to a standard, an approval, or a quality check by FMCSA or by this site. Fleet counts, driver counts and mileage are self reported by the carrier on form MCS-150 and are only as current as its last filing. Figures are reproduced as the federal files recorded them on the snapshot dates above and may have changed since.
