In short
Careful Movers Inc (USDOT 2194023) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within Texas, based in San Antonio, TX and registered since 2011. Its filing lists 1 truck and 2 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 Careful Movers Inc licensed?
Careful Movers Inc is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 2194023) 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 15 years of registration (since 2011): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Careful Movers Inc, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 1 truck and 2 drivers, and the registration dates from 2011.

- Miles driven
- 1 miles reported for 2021.

What a move with Careful Movers Inc should cost
Not Careful Movers Inc'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 Careful Movers Inc
- 1
Keep the move inside Texas
Careful Movers Inc 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 Careful Movers Inc'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 Careful Movers Inc 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 $8,289 – $11,052. A surveyed, written estimate from Careful Movers Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
