In short
Simpler Moving LLC (USDOT 2845059) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within Texas, based in Austin, TX and registered since 2016. Its filing lists 3 trucks 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 Simpler Moving LLC licensed?
Simpler Moving LLC is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 2845059) 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 10 years of registration (since 2016): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Simpler Moving LLC, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 3 trucks and 2 drivers, and the registration dates from 2016.

How Simpler Moving LLC operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 1 intrastate beyond 100 air miles; 1 intrastate within 100 air miles. Read plainly, it runs both: 1 on longer runs and 1 close to home.

- Trucks
- 3 power units on file (3 owned), all straight trucks.
- Miles driven
- 40,000 miles reported for 2020, about 13,333 per truck.

What a move with Simpler Moving LLC should cost
Not Simpler Moving LLC's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Austin costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Austin: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Austin: 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 Simpler Moving LLC
- 1
Keep the move inside Texas
Simpler Moving LLC 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 Austin references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Simpler Moving LLC's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Austin you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Simpler Moving 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 Austin at $445 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $7,943 – $10,590. A surveyed, written estimate from Simpler Moving LLC far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
