In short
Metro Moving Company (USDOT 1940310) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within Texas, based in Garland, TX and registered since 2009. Its filing lists 1 truck and 1 driver. 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 Metro Moving Company licensed?
Metro Moving Company is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 1940310) 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 17 years of registration (since 2009): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Metro Moving Company, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 1 truck and 1 driver, and the registration dates from 2009.

How Metro Moving Company operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 1 intrastate beyond 100 air miles. Read plainly, every driver it files works beyond 100 miles, the profile of a long-distance operation.
- Commercial driver's licences
- Its one driver does not hold a CDL. A CDL is required to drive a truck rated over 26,000 lb, so on its own filing Metro Moving Company runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- One power unit on file, owned, a straight truck, plus 1 trailer.
- Miles driven
- 54,000 miles reported for 2024.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods only.

What a move with Metro Moving Company should cost
Not Metro Moving Company's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Garland costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Garland: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Garland: 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 Metro Moving Company
- 1
Keep the move inside Texas
Metro Moving Company 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 Garland references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Metro Moving Company's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Garland you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Metro Moving Company 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 Garland at $445 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $7,119 – $9,492. A surveyed, written estimate from Metro Moving Company far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
