Tennessee has no official public Intrastate Authority consumer lookup. Nobody is called TDOR-verified.

## Nashville hourly menus
Tennessee in-state movers need TDOR Intrastate Authority (TNTAP) and Form E + Form H cargo for household goods. Official TDOR pages do not mention tariffs.
Nashville Packers and Movers ([services](https://nashvillepackersandmovers.com/services/)): 2-man from $175 /hr and 3-man $350 /hr with truck, 3-hour minimum on the $350 line — or ask about a written package. Same-page cards: 2-Man Crew $175 /hour, Labor Only 3H/M; 3-Man Crew $250 /hour. Copy both 3-man figures as printed; the page is internally inconsistent. Quote includes the truck, fuel, moving blankets, dollies, shrink wrap, and a trained crew; disassemble/reassemble beds and standard furniture at no extra charge. $50 OFF mid-week (Tue-Thu), code FLAT50. Starting-from hourly language.
6th Man Movers (Sixth Man Movers Inc) ([FAQ](https://6thmanmovers.com/frequently-asked-moving-questions/); [local movers](https://6thmanmovers.com/moving-services/nashville-local-movers/)): no public $/hour. Local: hourly labor rate plus flat service/travel fee and drive time; 2-hour minimum; local movers in Nashville cost at least $450. Local defined as 50 miles or less. Clock starts at first-address walk-through; ends after unload and placement. Deposit $100-$500 (hourly) or 10% of total (long-distance flat rate). Prints USDOT 2315850, MC 853001 (matches SAFER).
All My Sons Moving & Storage of Nashville publishes totals (table above), not a public hourly rate ([Nashville page](https://www.allmysons.com/tennessee/nashville/)). Labeled All My Sons Nashville branch averages. Prints USDOT 825563 / MC 388329 on the authorized-carrier page (matches SAFER).
## Hourly planning math (Nashville Packers and Movers)
Using Nashville Packers and Movers published hourly figures from [services](https://nashvillepackersandmovers.com/services/) ( 2-man $175 /hr Labor Only 3H/M card; 3-man $350 /hr with truck, 3-hour minimum in the body; 3-man $250 /hr on the same-page card):
Stated hour assumption
Formula
Planning total
2 movers, 3-hour minimum (2-man $175 card, Labor Only 3H/M)
$175 × 3
$525
3 movers, 3-hour minimum (body $350 with truck)
$350 × 3
$1,050
3 movers, 3-hour product (card $250)
$250 × 3
$750
Copy both 3-man products as printed; do not reconcile $350 vs $250. 6th Man has no public $/hour, so there is no 6th Man hourly product here. The Tennessee 2-bedroom table assumes 3 movers and about **7 hours**. An NDOT loading-zone fee, if used, is **$15 per day per vehicle**. That is a city fee, not a mover line.
## Long-distance from Nashville
Named-company and compiled figures:
MCHQ Tennessee long-distance range on the statewide hub: $2,100+ ([Tennessee hub](https://movingcompanyhq.com/moving-costs/tennessee/)).
MCHQ Nashville city-page band long-distance moves from Nashville $2,200–$6,500; a 2-bedroom planning figure around $4,350 ([Nashville cost hub](https://movingcompanyhq.com/moving-costs/tennessee/nashville/)). Same page lists Nashville→Kingsport (~285 miles, in-state) 2BR $3,200; Nashville→Brentwood (12 miles) 2BR $1,500; Nashville→Mt. Juliet (20 miles) 2BR $1,625.
MoveAdvisor (compiled) ([How Much Do Movers Cost in Nashville 2026?](https://moveadvisor.com/move/how-much-do-movers-cost-in-nashville/), updated 2026-05-08): compiled corridors, not a company tariff. Nashville→Atlanta 1BR $1,892–$4,480, 2BR $2,422–$6,257, 3BR $2,984–$6,610; Nashville→Chicago 1BR $2,438–$4,696, 2BR $3,139–$6,870, 3BR $4,771–$8,418; Nashville→New York City 1BR $3,181–$7,285, 2BR $3,960–$8,218, 3BR $5,488–$9,380.
Daniel's Moving and Logistics blog (compiled) ([2026 Nashville market rates](https://www.danielsmovingandlogisticsllc.com/blog/how-much-does-it-cost-to-hire-movers-in-nashville)): compiled corridors, not Daniel's published hourly menu. Nashville to Chicago $2,850–$9,500; Nashville to New York City $4,820–$12,645; Nashville to Los Angeles $5,980–$21,670.
In-state vs interstate A Nashville local move that never leaves Tennessee is TDOR Intrastate Authority plus TDOSHS 1340-06-01-.13. Murfreesboro, Brentwood, Mt. Juliet, and Kingsport are still Tennessee. If either address is outside Tennessee (for example Kentucky, Alabama, or Georgia), FMCSA Part 375 applies ([Protect Your Move](https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/protect-your-move)).
6th Man quotes long-distance at a flat rate (amount not published). All My Sons Nashville did not publish long-distance dollar corridors.
## Tennessee paperwork: Intrastate Authority, estimates, and claims
Before an intrastate Tennessee household-goods job, the mover needs TDOR Motor Carrier Intrastate Authority (apply via TNTAP ) plus Form E (bodily injury and property damage) and Form H cargo for household goods ([Intrastate Authority](https://www.tn.gov/revenue/motor-carrier/intrastate-authority.html); [How to Apply](https://revenue.support.tn.gov/hc/en-us/articles/360060995211-MC-Intrastate-2-How-to-Apply)). Official TDOR pages do not mention tariffs. Tennessee is not a Massachusetts-style CPCN + filed-tariff regime.
TDOSHS Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 1340-06-01-.13 covers estimates, weights, bills of lading, and claims for intrastate household-goods movers ([LII reprint](https://www.law.cornell.edu/regulations/tennessee/Tenn-Comp-R-Regs-1340-06-01-.13)). Each bill of lading must show how the estimate was made and the amount. If actual charges exceed the estimate by more than 10% or $25 (whichever is greater), the carrier must notify the shipper before delivery. Written loss/damage claims: acknowledge within 30 calendar days; pay, decline, or make a firm compromise offer within 120 days.
Intrastate cargo insurance minima of $5,000 per vehicle and $10,000 aggregate (1340-06-01-.07) are insurance security, not a released-value rate to the customer. Tennessee does not publish a default cents-per-pound cargo liability for in-state household-goods moves.
Interstate jobs use FMCSA Part 375 ([Protect Your Move](https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/protect-your-move)). Default interstate valuation is Full Value Protection unless waived in writing ([49 CFR 375.201](https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/49/375.201)). There is no official public Tennessee Intrastate Authority consumer lookup. Nobody is called TDOR-verified. Re-check [SAFER](https://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/) and Protect Your Move before hiring.
## Nashville scale, meters, and access
Nashville-Davidson metropolitan government (balance): 704,965 residents; 475.6 square miles ([Census Reporter, ACS 2024](https://censusreporter.org/profiles/16000US4752006-nashville-davidson-metropolitan-government-balance-tn/)). Metro Nashville-Davidson–Murfreesboro–Franklin, TN: 2,151,715 people; 6,301.9 square miles ([Census Reporter](https://censusreporter.org/profiles/31000US34980-nashville-davidson-murfreesboro-franklin-tn-metro-area/)). Davidson County is 729,505 / 503.5 square miles. Nearby cities with mover pages: Murfreesboro, Brentwood, and Mt. Juliet. Kingsport is about 285 miles.
Meters. Central Parking District (Downtown, SoBro, Gulch ) enforcement is 24 hours. Non-CPD zones including Music Row, Edgehill, Midtown, and Hillsboro Village run 6 a.m. to midnight. CPD multi-space rates: $2.00 /hr (0–2 hours); $5.00 /hr (3–4); $6.00 /hr (5+, 10-hour max). Non-CPD: $2.00 /hr (0–2); $3.00 /hr (3–4); $4.00 /hr (5+). Pay stations also cover West End Avenue to 31st Avenue and the Vanderbilt Hospital area ([paid parking](https://www.nashville.gov/departments/transportation/traffic-and-parking/parking/paid-parking); [enforcement](https://www.nashville.gov/departments/transportation/traffic-and-parking/parking/parking-enforcement)).
Trucks over 18,000 lb. Metro Code 12.40.180 (BL2009-491): parking of trucks more than eighteen thousand pounds gross weight is prohibited on Metro streets except while actually engaged in loading or unloading. BL2025-956 is a 2025 draft; enactment was not confirmed.
## Curb rules, college calendars, and summer heat
### No dedicated moving-truck permit; NDOT ePermits
Metro has no dedicated moving-truck permit page. Closest official tools: NDOT right-of-way permits through ePermits, applied for at least 2 business days before the start date ([NDOT permits](https://www.nashville.gov/departments/transportation/permits), last updated July 14, 2026). Temporary street/lane/loading fees ([temporary street closure permits](https://www.nashville.gov/departments/transportation/permits/temporary-street-closure-permits), last updated July 2, 2026): Parking Loading Zone $15 per day per location per vehicle (violation $45); Trailer / Dumpster $10/day, not to exceed $2,000 (violation $30/day); lane, street, bike lane, or sidewalk closure $160 for up to 5 days, +$10 each day after the 5th (triple fee if no prior permit). These fees are published for construction purposes or special events unless noted — they are not labeled “moving truck permit.” On-street space-rental policy 103.001.2025 is Effective TBD; dollar amounts for that rental were not on the PDF — omit a moving-truck $ for it. Contact ndotpermits@nashville.gov; 615-862-8782.
### Residential permits and loading zones
Residential Parking Permit: annual $10; visitor $5. Downtown Nashville Residential Parking Permit: annual $25. The residential-permit page does not mention moving trucks. Downtown Temporary Service Business (DTSB) pilot: service vehicles in loading zones up to two hours; $100 initial and $100 annual; “The DTSB permit does not apply to delivery companies.” Not a household-move permit ([apply for a parking permit](https://www.nashville.gov/departments/transportation/traffic-and-parking/parking/apply-parking-permit)).
### COI and freight elevators
No Metropolitan Code section was found that requires a city-issued certificate of insurance or freight-elevator reservation for household-goods movers. Treat COI, freight-elevator windows, and dock rules as building / HOA / property-manager requirements. Ask that property.
### University move-in 2026 and downtown events
Vanderbilt: international first-year Aug. 19, 2026; transfer Aug. 21; first-year Aug. 22 ([Vanderbilt move-in](https://www.vanderbilt.edu/welcome/move-in/)). Belmont freshman/transfer halls Aug 13–15; returning Aug 14–17; unassisted Aug 18; “We encourage our students to not bring trailers or U-Haul trucks” ([Belmont](https://www.belmont.edu/res-life/info/move-in.html)). Lipscomb incoming 8/10 & 8/11; returning 8/15 & 8/16 ([Lipscomb housing](https://lipscomb.edu/student-life/housing-residence-life)). TSU first-time freshmen August 11–12, 2026 ([TSU](https://www.tnstate.edu/housing/movein.aspx)). CMA Fest 2026 was June 4–7, 2026 ([CMA Fest](https://www.cmafest.com/)). Lower Broadway Friday/Saturday night closures (~8 p.m.–2 a.m.) appear in NDOT weekly ROW PDFs. Check the live NDOT closure map on any downtown move day.
### Summer heat
NCEI 1991–2020 monthly normals, Nashville International Airport (USW00013897): January max/min 49.1 / 30.1°F; July max/min 90.9 / 70.5°F. NWS Nashville (last updated May 1, 2026): normal mean January 39.6°F, July 80.7°F; annual snowfall normal 4.7 inches ([NWS Nashville climate](https://www.weather.gov/ohx/bnaclimate)). Heat and humidity change carry time and crew breaks.
## Neighborhood questions for your quote
Ask the property; do not treat mover checklists as facts about a specific building.
- Downtown / SoBro: Ask CPD 24/7 meters, loading-zone $15/day/vehicle vs ePermits (2 business days), and whether the truck is over 18,000 lb (banned except while actively loading). Check NDOT weekly ROW PDFs for Lower Broadway Friday/Saturday night closures.
- The Gulch: Ask elevator reservations and loading-dock windows at Gulch high-rises. CPD meters run 24/7. Fox and Little Guys both name Gulch high-rise access as a booking input.
- East Nashville: Ask street width, how far the truck can legally park from the door, and whether the block is a signed residential-permit zone. Little Guys names East Nashville Victorian lots as narrow with limited street parking.
- 12 South / Germantown: Ask brownstone vs walk-up vs elevator, long-carry if the truck cannot park on the block, and HOA/building manager rules. 6th Man and Fox name both neighborhoods.
- Music Row / Hillsboro Village / Midtown: Ask non-CPD meter hours (6 a.m.–midnight) and high-rise elevator reservations. Fox names Midtown high-rises; 6th Man names Midtown/Music Row.
- Vanderbilt / West End / Belmont: Ask university move-in calendars (Vanderbilt Aug 19–22; Belmont Aug 13–18, discourages U-Hauls; Lipscomb Aug 10–16; TSU Aug 11–12) and West End-to-31st pay-station geography. COI and freight elevators are building rules.
- Murfreesboro / Brentwood / Mt. Juliet: Ask how travel time is billed. Compare Murfreesboro, Brentwood, and Mt. Juliet. Kingsport is about 285 miles.
## Compare these numbers with a written estimate
A Tennessee in-state mover owes you a written estimate. If actual charges exceed that estimate by more than 10% or $25 (whichever is greater), the carrier must notify you before delivery. Verify the performing carrier on [SAFER](https://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/) or [FMCSA Protect Your Move](https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/protect-your-move). Tennessee has no official public Intrastate Authority consumer lookup; nobody is called TDOR-verified.

### What paperwork applies to a Tennessee in-state move?
TDOR Intrastate Authority (TNTAP) plus Form E and Form H cargo for household goods. TDOSHS 1340-06-01-.13: if actual charges exceed the estimate by more than 10% or $25 (whichever is greater), the carrier must notify you before delivery. Claims: acknowledge within 30 days; pay, decline, or offer within 120 days. Cargo insurance minima $5,000 per vehicle and $10,000 aggregate are insurance security, not a released-value rate. Interstate jobs use FMCSA Part 375 and Full Value Protection unless waived. There is no official public Tennessee Intrastate Authority consumer lookup.
### Are these estimates a final quote?
No. Get a written estimate. If actual charges exceed it by more than 10% or $25 (whichever is greater), the carrier must notify you before delivery.
