What the federal files say about West Virginia
The FMCSA Motor Carrier Census lists 116 active interstate for hire carriers with a West Virginia address that tick household goods on their MCS-150 form. Of those, 13 also carry active household goods operating authority in the federal licensing files, which is 11 percent. The rest can legally haul freight across state lines but not a household for hire.
Between them the 13 authorized carriers report 61 power units and 63 drivers. The median fleet is 1 power unit, and 9 of them report three trucks or fewer. The largest is Central Van & Storage of Charleston INC of Poca at 35 power units and 29 drivers. 2 of the 13 filed or updated an MCS-150 during 2026, so the rest of the fleet numbers on this page are older self reported figures.

All 13 registered interstate movers in West Virginia
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. 1 carrier is 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 West Virginia 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.

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.
