In short
Dallas Moving Forward (USDOT 2418048) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within Texas, based in Austin, TX and registered since 2013. Its filing lists 6 trucks and 6 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 Dallas Moving Forward licensed?
Dallas Moving Forward is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 2418048) 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 13 years of registration (since 2013): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Dallas Moving Forward, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 6 trucks and 6 drivers, and the registration dates from 2013.

How Dallas Moving Forward operates, from its filing

- 6 intrastate beyond 100 air miles. Read plainly, every driver it files works beyond 100 miles, the profile of a long-distance operation.

- None of the 6 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 Dallas Moving Forward runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.

- Miles driven
- 1 miles reported for 2023, about 0 per truck.

What a move with Dallas Moving Forward should cost
Not Dallas Moving Forward's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Austin costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Austin: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Austin: 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 Dallas Moving Forward
- 1
Keep the move inside Texas
Dallas Moving Forward 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 Austin references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Dallas Moving Forward's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Austin you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Dallas Moving Forward 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 Austin at $445 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $7,884 – $10,512. A surveyed, written estimate from Dallas Moving Forward far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
