In short
Karefull Movers (USDOT 3585431) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within Texas, based in Abilene, TX and registered since 2021. 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 Karefull Movers licensed?
Karefull Movers is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 3585431) 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 5 years of registration (since 2021): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Karefull Movers, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 2 trucks and 2 drivers, and the registration dates from 2021.

How Karefull Movers operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 1 intrastate beyond 100 air miles; 1 intrastate within 100 air miles. Read plainly, it runs both: 1 on longer runs and 1 close to home.
- Commercial driver's licences
- None of the 2 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 Karefull Movers runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- 2 power units on file (2 owned), all straight trucks.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods only.

What a move with Karefull Movers should cost

Local moves in Abilene: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Abilene: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $37–$47 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $445 – $733.

| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $223 – $357 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $297 – $545 |

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 Karefull Movers
- 1
Keep the move inside Texas
Karefull 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 Abilene references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Karefull Movers's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Abilene you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Karefull 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 Abilene at $445 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $7,983 – $10,644. A surveyed, written estimate from Karefull Movers far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
