How Houston Van Lines Inc operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 1 interstate beyond 100 air miles; 1 interstate within 100 air miles; 1 intrastate beyond 100 air miles; 1 intrastate within 100 air miles. Read plainly, it runs both: 2 on longer runs and 2 close to home.
- Commercial driver's licences
- None of the 4 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 Houston Van Lines Inc runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- One power unit on file, owned, a straight truck.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods only.

What a move with Houston Van Lines Inc should cost
Not Houston Van Lines Inc's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Spring costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Spring: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Spring: 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 Houston Van Lines Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1677198
Houston Van Lines Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1677198. If the written estimate names a van line or another carrier, that company is the one legally responsible for your goods, so check its number too.
- 2
Ask for Spring references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Houston Van Lines Inc's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Spring you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Houston Van Lines 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 Spring at $445 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $7,416 – $9,888. A surveyed, written estimate from Houston Van Lines Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
