In short

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 Nice Guys Movers licensed?
Nice Guys Movers is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 2296578) 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 14 years of registration (since 2012): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Nice Guys Movers, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 1 truck and 2 drivers, and the registration dates from 2012.

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

Before you book Nice Guys Movers
- 1
Keep the move inside Texas
Nice Guys 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 College Station references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Nice Guys Movers's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near College Station you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Nice Guys 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
Ask whose truck arrives
1 of the 1 power units Nice Guys Movers files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 2296578, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $445 – $733
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in College Station at $445 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $7,493 – $9,990. A surveyed, written estimate from Nice Guys Movers far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
