In short
Simple Moving (USDOT 4560446) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within Texas, based in Houston, TX and registered since 2026. Its filing lists 2 trucks 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 Simple Moving licensed?
Simple Moving is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 4560446) 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 its first year of registration (since 2026): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Simple Moving, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 2 trucks and 1 driver, and the registration dates from 2026.

Roadside inspections, last 24 months

How Simple Moving operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 1 intrastate within 100 air miles. Read plainly, every driver it files works within 100 miles, the profile of a local mover.
- 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 Simple Moving runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- 2 power units on file (2 owned), all straight trucks.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods only.

What a move with Simple Moving should cost
Not Simple Moving'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 Simple Moving
- 1
Keep the move inside Texas
Simple Moving 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 Simple Moving'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 Simple Moving 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 $7,434 – $9,912. A surveyed, written estimate from Simple Moving far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
