Is Dunavan Movers Inc licensed?
Dunavan Movers Inc is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 2392497) 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.
