Moving Company Nashville is a referral service. It connects people in Nashville, Tennessee with independent local moving companies, by phone and through the request form on this site. It is not a moving company: it owns no trucks, employs no movers, and does not pack, load, haul or store anything.
We say so plainly because anyone hiring a mover is entitled to know who they are dealing with. The company that gives you an estimate and signs an agreement with you is the moving company, not this site.
Call to be connected with a local moving company. The call is free.
Call to be connected with a mover
How a call works
- You call the number on this site and tell us about the move: the two addresses, the size of the home or office, the floors, and anything heavy or fragile.
- We connect you with an independent local moving company, passing on those details so that it can contact you.
- You and the mover decide the next step, such as a visit or a video walk-through so it can give you a written estimate. Any price, date, contract or coverage comes from that mover, and you decide whether to go ahead.
How the request form works
The form on the homepage asks for your name, a phone number or email address, and a few details of the move. What you send comes to us, and we pass it to an independent local moving company so that it can contact you. Sending the form is free and does not commit you to anything. The privacy policy says what is stored and how to have it removed.

Why this site explains rules and costs
A customer who knows the rules is harder to mislead. In Tennessee, a for-hire carrier working inside the state needs Intrastate Authority from the Department of Revenue, and an interstate mover must be registered with the federal government and have a USDOT number you can look up. In Nashville, the Department of Transportation says all closures to the public right-of-way require a permit, applied for at least two business days before the start date. The moving company, local movers, long distance movers, piano movers and office movers pages set out facts like these. Cost figures on them are the published figures of the movers and marketplaces named beside them, not quotes.
Where the information comes from
The rules described on this site are taken from the Tennessee Department of Revenue, the Tennessee Secretary of State’s compilation of state rules, the Tennessee Code, the Tennessee Attorney General’s consumer division, the Code of Federal Regulations, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and the Nashville Department of Transportation. Climate figures are from the National Weather Service, and housing figures are from the Census Bureau’s surveys and the Nashville Downtown Partnership. Cost figures are the published figures of the movers and moving marketplaces named beside them. Rules and fees change, so confirm anything that affects your move with the agency or the mover. To report an error, use the contact page.
Check any mover yourself
Do this for any moving company, including one we connect you with. For a move out of state, ask for the mover’s USDOT number and enter it in FMCSA’s mover search tool, which shows complaint history and safety information. For a move inside Tennessee, ask to see its Intrastate Authority from the Department of Revenue, or its federal registration, and its insurance certificates.
What the State of Tennessee advises
Be wary of a mover with no address and no registration or insurance information, of quotes given only by phone or email, and of a large deposit or a demand for cash. Ask whether an estimate is binding, non-binding or not-to-exceed, and do not sign blank documents.

Quick answers
Is Moving Company Nashville a moving company?
No. Moving Company Nashville is a referral service that connects people in Nashville, Tennessee with independent local moving companies. It does not perform, supervise or stand behind any move. The estimate, the contract, the coverage for loss or damage and the payment are agreed between you and the moving company you choose to hire.
Does it cost anything to call or to send the form?
No. Calling and sending the form are both free, and neither commits you to hiring anyone. If you go ahead with a move, the price is agreed between you and the moving company, in writing.
Does Moving Company Nashville stand behind the mover’s work?
No. It does not carry out or supervise moves, and it does not set or back a mover’s prices, dates or coverage. What a mover owes you if something is lost or damaged depends on the level of liability in your agreement with that mover, so ask for it in writing before the move.
How do I know the mover I am connected with is properly registered?
Ask and check. An interstate mover has a USDOT number you can look up in FMCSA’s mover search tool. A mover working inside Tennessee needs Intrastate Authority from the Tennessee Department of Revenue, or federal registration. Ask to see the registration and the insurance certificates, whoever the mover is and however you found it.
