In short
Budget Movers (USDOT 1967694) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within Texas, based in San Antonio, TX and registered since 2009. Its filing lists 6 trucks and 20 drivers. It has no FMCSA safety rating. It had no roadside inspection in the last 24 months, so there is no inspection record either way.
Is Budget Movers licensed?
Budget Movers is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 1967694) 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 Budget Movers, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 6 trucks and 20 drivers, and the registration dates from 2009.

Roadside inspections, last 24 months

How Budget Movers operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 10 intrastate beyond 100 air miles; 10 intrastate within 100 air miles. Read plainly, it runs both: 10 on longer runs and 10 close to home.
- Commercial driver's licences
- None of the 20 drivers on its latest filing holds a CDL. A CDL is required to drive a truck rated over 26,000 lb, so on its own filing Budget Movers runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- 6 power units on file (6 owned), all straight trucks.
- Miles driven
- 100,000 miles reported for 2023, about 16,667 per truck.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods, plus general freight.

What a move with Budget Movers should cost
Not Budget Movers's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from San Antonio costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in San Antonio: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in San Antonio: 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 |

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 Budget Movers
- 1
Keep the move inside Texas
Budget Movers 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 for San Antonio references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Budget Movers's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near San Antonio you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Budget Movers 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
Judge the estimate against $445 – $733
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in San Antonio at $445 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $8,244 – $10,992. A surveyed, written estimate from Budget Movers far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
