In short
Ab Moving (USDOT 1939700) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within Texas, based in Plano, TX and registered since 2009. Its filing lists 4 trucks and 4 drivers. It has no FMCSA safety rating. It had 8 roadside inspections in the last 24 months, 1 of 5 vehicle inspections ending with a truck put out of service.
Is Ab Moving licensed?
Ab Moving is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 1939700) 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 17 years of registration (since 2009): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Ab Moving, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 4 trucks and 4 drivers, and the registration dates from 2009.

- 4 intrastate within 100 air miles. Read plainly, every driver it files works within 100 miles, the profile of a local mover.

- Trucks
- 2 power units on file (2 term-leased), all straight trucks.
- Miles driven
- 5,000,000 miles reported for 2023, about 1,250,000 per truck.

What a move with Ab Moving should cost
Not Ab Moving's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Plano costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Plano: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Plano: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $37–$47 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $445 – $733.
| Home | Crew | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $223 – $357 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $297 – $545 |
| 2 bedrooms | 2 | 5–7 | $445 – $733 |
| 3 bedrooms | 3 | 6–9 | $741 – $1,344 |
| 4 bedrooms | 4 | 8–10 | $1,259 – $1,955 |
| 5+ bedrooms | 4 | 10–12 | $1,555 – $2,331 |
Hourly rates are scaled to Texas: hand movers there earn a median $18.05 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $37–$47 per mover per hour.

Before you book Ab Moving
- 1
Keep the move inside Texas
Ab Moving is registered for moves within Texas. For a move to another state, ask which interstate carrier would haul it and look up that company's USDOT number as well.
- 2
Ask about the 1 out-of-service order
1 of Ab Moving's 5 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (20.0%, against 19.0% for all listed movers). Ask what failed, whether it was fixed, and which truck would do your move.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Ab Moving driver holds a CDL, so its trucks are rated 26,000 lb or less. For a three- or four-bedroom home, ask how many trucks or trips the estimate assumes; on an hourly job a second trip is paid time.
- 4
Ask whose truck arrives
2 of the 2 power units Ab Moving files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 1939700, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $445 – $733
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Plano at $445 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $7,115 – $9,486. A surveyed, written estimate from Ab Moving far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
