In short
Dependable Movers (USDOT 2088954) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within Texas, based in Mesquite, TX and registered since 2010. Its filing lists 1 truck and 3 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 Dependable Movers licensed?
Dependable Movers is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 2088954) 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 16 years of registration (since 2010): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Dependable Movers, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 1 truck and 3 drivers, and the registration dates from 2010.

How Dependable Movers operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 3 intrastate beyond 100 air miles. Read plainly, every driver it files works beyond 100 miles, the profile of a long-distance operation.
- Commercial driver's licences
- None of the 3 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 Dependable Movers runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- One power unit on file, owned, a straight truck, plus 1 trailer.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods only.

What a move with Dependable Movers should cost

A two-bedroom move in Mesquite: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $37–$47 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $445 – $733.

| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $223 – $357 |

Before you book Dependable Movers
- 1
Keep the move inside Texas
Dependable 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 Mesquite references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Dependable Movers's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Mesquite you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Dependable 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 Mesquite at $445 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $7,137 – $9,516. A surveyed, written estimate from Dependable Movers far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
