What the federal record says

Harrison's Moving & Storage Company INC trades as Apple Moving and holds USDOT number 163678 and operating authority MC-143934. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in Chesapeake, Chesapeake city, Virginia. Its household goods authority is on file as common carrier of household goods and motor carrier of household goods, which is the grant that allows a company to move a household across a state line for money. The USDOT record was created on 1 June 1974, 52 years before this snapshot, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 21 August 2025.

With 44 power units and 41 drivers on the filing, 0.9 per truck, this is a mid sized fleet. Companies at this scale generally run scheduled lanes rather than one off trips, and they are the ones most likely to quote a binding estimate with a firm delivery spread. The equipment itemized on the form is 27 trucks, 17 tractors, 50 trailers. The company reported 1,012,020 miles for 2024, which works out at roughly 23,000 miles per power unit. That places it 7th by fleet size among the 274 registered household goods carriers based in Virginia.

Besides household goods the census lists 4 other cargo classifications: general freight, motor vehicles, fresh produce, intermodal containers. A carrier with a broad cargo list is running household moves alongside other freight, which can mean better rates on a backhaul and less predictable scheduling. The registered address falls in the Virginia Beach-Chesapeake-Norfolk, VA-NC metropolitan area, where 50 other registered household goods carriers are based. FMCSA has assigned this carrier a satisfactory safety rating, dated 17 February 2005.

The nearest other registered household goods carriers are Hampton Roads Port Services LLC in Chesapeake (same ZIP code area), Leighton Transportation Services INC in Portsmouth (8 miles), Nbf Norfolk LLC in Portsmouth (8 miles). Distances are between ZIP code centers, so they are approximate. Getting three written estimates from companies in the same area is the single cheapest thing you can do to avoid being overcharged.

Where this data comes from

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.
