In short
Panther Movers (USDOT 4405656) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within Texas, based in Houston, TX and registered since 2025. 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 Panther Movers licensed?
Panther Movers is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 4405656) 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 Panther Movers, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 1 truck and 2 drivers, and the registration dates from 2025.

Roadside inspections, last 24 months

How Panther Movers operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 2 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
- 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 Panther Movers runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- One power unit on file, owned, a straight truck.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods, plus general freight.

What a move with Panther Movers should cost
Not Panther Movers'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 Panther Movers
- 1
Keep the move inside Texas
Panther 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 Houston references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Panther Movers'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 Panther 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 Houston at $445 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $7,416 – $9,888. A surveyed, written estimate from Panther Movers far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
