Big Al's Specialty Movers INC

What the federal record says

Big Al's Specialty Movers INC holds USDOT number 1057263 and operating authority MC-439795. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in Vancouver, Clark County, Washington. Its household goods authority is on file as common 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 27 September 2002, 23 years before this snapshot, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 23 January 2026.

The filing reports 6 power units and 6 drivers, 1 per truck. A fleet in that range can usually keep two or three long haul jobs running at once, which is the point where a mover starts being able to hold a delivery window rather than a delivery month. The equipment itemized on the form is 6 trucks. The company reported 300,000 miles for 2025, which works out at roughly 50,000 miles per power unit. That places it 45th by fleet size among the 148 registered household goods carriers based in Washington.

Besides household goods the census lists 2 other cargo classifications: general freight, motor vehicles. 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 Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA metropolitan area, where 67 other registered household goods carriers are based. FMCSA has assigned this carrier a satisfactory safety rating, dated 7 December 2010.

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.
