What the federal record says

Texas Moving Co INC holds USDOT number 220940 and operating authority MC-196875. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in The Colony, Denton County, Texas. Its household goods authority is on file as common carrier of household goods and contract carrier of household goods and motor 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 17 August 1982, 44 years before this snapshot, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 12 January 2026.

The filing reports 19 power units and 6 drivers, 0.3 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 11 trucks, 8 tractors, 17 trailers. The company reported 1 miles for 2025, which works out at roughly 0 miles per power unit. That places it 27th by fleet size among the 414 registered household goods carriers based in Texas.

Besides household goods the census lists 4 other cargo classifications: general freight, building materials, construction, water well. 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 Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX metropolitan area, where 146 other registered household goods carriers are based. FMCSA has assigned this carrier a satisfactory safety rating, dated 13 August 2007.

The nearest other registered household goods carriers are Moveconet LLC in Lewisville (4.2 miles), All My Sons Moving & Storage of Dallas LLC in Carrollton (4.9 miles), Father and Sons Moving INC in Carrollton (4.9 miles). 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.

Where this data comes from

Every company on these pages is registered with FMCSA. Registration is a filing requirement, not an endorsement, a licence to a standard, an approval, or a quality check by FMCSA or by this site. 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.
