Founded by college students, Major Movers is a unique moving company based in Austin, Texas. Their mission is to deliver an affordable and exceptional moving experience, while simultaneously creating job opportunities for students. An interesting aspect of their business model is that they do not provide a moving vehicle. Instead, customers are expected to rent their own trucks from providers like UHAUL or Budget, and Major Movers provides the labor at a flat rate of $35 per mover, per hour. They ensure there are no hidden costs and their services range from loading and unloading to furniture assembly, and even piano moving. With flexible scheduling and a wide range of payment options, Major Movers strives to deliver the most cost-efficient service in the city.

Last Checked: 01/08/25The TXDMV regulates moving companies that operate within the state of Texas.
If you’re moving across state lines, you likely need to hire a moving company with a VALID USDOT license. This licensing information comes from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and applies to a moving company's ability to perform a long distance INTERstate move (for example: from California to Texas). If your move crosses state lines within the same commercial zone, or metropolitan area (for example: DC to Alexandria, VA), it is generally not considered an interstate move and a moving company may not need an "Active" license from FMCSA to perform this type of move. INTRAstate moves (within the same state or city) are regulated by state and local jurisdictions and licensing requirements vary according to locale.Authorized
