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 The Best Move in Texas licensed?
The Best Move in Texas is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 136463) 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 52 years of registration (since 1974): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against The Best Move in Texas, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 6 trucks and 1 driver, and the registration dates from 1974.

What a move with The Best Move in Texas should cost
Not The Best Move in Texas's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Corpus Christi costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Corpus Christi: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Corpus Christi: 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 |

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 The Best Move in Texas
- 1
Keep the move inside Texas
The Best Move in Texas 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 Corpus Christi references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about The Best Move in Texas's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Corpus Christi you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer
The Best Move in Texas files 1 tractor. If a full rig cannot reach your door, the move needs a shuttle truck, which is a separate line on the bill; ask before the estimate is written.
- 4
Ask whose truck arrives
3 of the 6 power units The Best Move in Texas files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 136463, 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 Corpus Christi at $445 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $8,388 – $11,184. A surveyed, written estimate from The Best Move in Texas far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
