What to verify next
- Confirm authority and insurance on the official Motus record. Safety record: SAFER.
- Call back on the number on file, (845) 793-9654, not a number from an email or load board.
- Check that the MC number you were given is MC99524034 or MC1677198.
- Ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
Insurance on file
Liability (BI&PD) pays for injury and damage to other people and property; it does not cover the freight. Cargo insurance covers the freight. FMCSA only requires cargo filings from household goods carriers and freight forwarders, so most carriers file none: ask for a cargo certificate that fits your load. Cargo cover filed: $5,000.

Roadside inspections Oct 20, 2024 – Oct 20, 2026
No roadside inspections in this period.
How these rates are calculated
Period: Oct 20, 2024 – Oct 20, 2026. Vehicle rate = vehicle inspections with a vehicle out-of-service order ÷ vehicle inspections (levels 1, 2, 5 and 6). Driver rate uses levels 1, 2, 3 and 6. The Texas average covers 347,597 vehicle and 460,316 driver inspections of all Texas-based carriers in this period. It mixes every type of operation, so compare with care; rates based on a handful of inspections say little. FMCSA's own SMS measures are weighted differently: SMS profile · SAFER snapshot
Violations in FMCSA's SMS last 24 months

Questions about Houston Van Lines Inc
What does Houston Van Lines Inc's operating authority allow?
MC99524034: Household goods carrier (may move household goods for hire).
Which information about Houston Van Lines Inc is old or missing?
There are too few vehicle inspections in the last 24 months to judge the out-of-service rate. FMCSA has not issued a safety rating, which means no compliance review is on record, not that the carrier is unsafe. The MCS-150 was last updated Oct 3, 2024, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
What should I verify before booking Houston Van Lines Inc?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 4305051. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (845) 793-9654, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC99524034 or MC1677198, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
