In short
Liftoff Moving (USDOT 4389887) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within Texas, based in Houston, TX and registered since 2025. Its filing lists 1 truck and 8 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 Liftoff Moving licensed?
Liftoff Moving is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 4389887) 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 1 year of registration (since 2025): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Liftoff Moving, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 1 truck and 8 drivers, and the registration dates from 2025.

Roadside inspections, last 24 months
Liftoff Moving had no roadside inspection in the 24 months FMCSA's Safety Measurement System covers (file of September 13, 2026). Of the 543 other listed movers within 30 miles of Houston, 501 had none either.
How Liftoff Moving operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 2 interstate beyond 100 air miles; 2 interstate within 100 air miles; 2 intrastate beyond 100 air miles; 2 intrastate within 100 air miles. Read plainly, it runs both: 4 on longer runs and 4 close to home.
- Commercial driver's licences
- None of the 8 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 Liftoff Moving 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 Liftoff Moving should cost
Not Liftoff Moving's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Houston costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Houston: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Houston: 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 |
| 3 bedrooms | 3 | 6–9 | $741 – $1,344 |
| 4 bedrooms | 4 | 8–10 | $1,259 – $1,955 |
| 5+ bedrooms | 4 | 10–12 | $1,555 – $2,331 |
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 Liftoff Moving
- 1
Keep the move inside Texas
Liftoff Moving 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 Houston references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Liftoff Moving's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Houston you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Liftoff Moving 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 Houston at $445 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $7,425 – $9,900. A surveyed, written estimate from Liftoff Moving far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
