What the registration shows
Academy Movers holds active interstate operating authority (MC-1818550) according to the FMCSA census data, so it is authorized to carry household goods across state lines. Interstate movers must follow federal consumer-protection rules: written estimates, the Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move booklet, and an arbitration program for disputes.
With 4 trucks, Academy Movers runs a larger fleet than about 70% of the 189 registered movers in our Seattle directory (median: 2).
It was added to the USDOT register less than a year ago (2026-04). New companies aren't necessarily worse, but check references and insurance carefully.
Before you hire Academy Movers
- Open its FMCSA record and confirm the name, address and status match what the company tells you.
- For an interstate move, confirm the operating authority is active and household goods are listed.
- Ask for a written estimate after a video or in-home survey, and ask whether it is binding.
- Ask about valuation coverage and how damage claims are handled.
- Avoid paying a large deposit up front. See moving scam red flags.
