Its filing lists 2 trucks 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 Groves Moving and Storage Company Inc licensed?
Groves Moving and Storage Company Inc is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 1762317) 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 18 years of registration (since 2008): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Groves Moving and Storage Company Inc, and not a mark for it.

- 3
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer
Groves Moving and Storage Company Inc files 1 tractor. If a full rig cannot reach your door, the move needs a shuttle truck, which is a separate line on the bill; ask before the estimate is written.
- 4
