- Where its drivers work
- 1 interstate beyond 100 air miles. Read plainly, every driver it files works beyond 100 miles, the profile of a long-distance operation.

- 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 Puma Van Lines LLC runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.

- Miles driven
- 126,000 miles reported for 2024.

What a move with Puma Van Lines LLC should cost
Not Puma Van Lines LLC's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Dallas costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Dallas: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Dallas: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $37–$47 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $445 – $733.

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

| 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 Puma Van Lines LLC
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC744605
Puma Van Lines LLC can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC744605. If the written estimate names a van line or another carrier, that company is the one legally responsible for your goods, so check its number too.
- 2
Ask about the 2 out-of-service orders
2 of Puma Van Lines LLC's 6 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (33.3%, against 19.0% for all listed movers). Ask what failed, whether it was fixed, and which truck would do your move.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Puma Van Lines LLC 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 Dallas at $445 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $7,205 – $9,606. A surveyed, written estimate from Puma Van Lines LLC far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
