In short
Manuel's Transfer (USDOT 2061214) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within Texas, based in Texas City, TX and registered since 2010. Its filing lists 1 truck 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 Manuel's Transfer licensed?
Manuel's Transfer is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 2061214) 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 16 years of registration (since 2010): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Manuel's Transfer, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 1 truck and 2 drivers, and the registration dates from 2010.

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 Manuel's Transfer
- 1
Keep the move inside Texas
Manuel's Transfer 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 Texas City references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Manuel's Transfer's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Texas City you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3

The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Texas City at $445 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $7,412 – $9,882. A surveyed, written estimate from Manuel's Transfer far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
