Is A&W Transfer and Storage licensed?
A&W Transfer and Storage is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 1818225) as an intrastate carrier: it may move you within Texas, but a move across a state line would have to go through a carrier holding interstate authority, often a van line the company works for as an agent. Ask whose USDOT number would be on the bill of lading.
It has no safety rating on record in 18 years of registration (since 2008): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against A&W Transfer and Storage, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 12 trucks and 7 drivers, and the registration dates from 2008.

How A&W Transfer and Storage operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 7 intrastate beyond 100 air miles. Read plainly, every driver it files works beyond 100 miles, the profile of a long-distance operation.

- Trucks
- 12 power units on file (12 owned), 10 of them tractors that can pull a trailer, plus 10 trailers.
- Miles driven
- 50,000 miles reported for 2025, about 4,167 per truck.
