Verdict

Einstein Moving Company

We do not publish a numeric score for moving companies.

Einstein Moving Company LLC files from Brown Lane in Austin, Texas, active on the federal census with 80 power units, seven non-commercial units, 182 drivers and an MCS-150 filed 27 March 2026. The registration is filed as intrastate only for non-hazardous cargo and the federal record carries no MC, MX or FF docket and no interstate operating authority. That is what the federal file shows and it is stated as a description of the filing, not as a finding about the company's right to operate: an intrastate Texas operation does not require interstate authority. A docket number circulated in secondary sources for this brand was not located on the federal record and is therefore not stored. The company publishes this USDOT number in its own footer together with a Texas Department of Motor Vehicles number, and it publishes a separate Florida registration for its Tampa operation; the Texas registration is the primary record this profile describes and the Florida registrant is disclosed separately as a related registration rather than merged into it. The state numbers are state identifiers and are not recorded as federal registrations. No federal safety rating was located for this registration, which is neither a positive nor a negative signal. The company states it was founded in 2012.

Best for
Local and statewide Texas moves in Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio handled by a large in-state crew operation
Main trade-off
The federal registration is filed as intrastate only and carries no operating authority docket, so this is not a record of interstate household goods authority and an out-of-state move should be confirmed against whichever registrant would carry it.

What is Einstein Moving Company's USDOT number and is its authority active?

The USDOT number of Einstein Moving Company is 2193963. This reflects the federal record as of 2026-08-15.

Is there another federal registration connected to Einstein Moving Company?

Verification also returned EINSTEIN MOVING COMPANY FL LLC, USDOT 3882313, filed in Brandon, FL, an active registration. It is connected to the brand only by the company’s own website publishes this registration for its Florida operation alongside the Texas registration this profile describes.

A separate Florida registrant filed as intrastate only for non-hazardous cargo, with three power units, five drivers and no MC, MX or FF docket. It is published by the brand itself, which is the bridge, but no corporate filing was read, so ownership, common control and succession are all left unresolved and the exact relationship is not named. It is a distinct federal record and it is not counted as a second registration of the Texas registrant, not merged into the primary record, and not called a branch or a sibling.

Relationship recorded as unresolved. Read 2026-08-15.

Does Einstein Moving Company have an MC docket number on file?

No MC docket was located in the FMCSA SAFER carrier snapshot read for this company’s federal registration on 15 August 2026, whose MC/MX/FF field is empty and whose operating authority status reads NOT AUTHORIZED.

No MC docket is carried on this registration in the records reviewed, and a docket number circulated for this brand in secondary sources was not located on the federal record, so it is not stored. The registration is filed as intrastate only, and the federal note on that status is explicit that it does not apply to intrastate operations. Nothing here is a finding that the company operates without required authority or that it lacks the right to operate; it is a statement about what the records reviewed contain.

Records reviewed 2026-08-15.

Has Einstein Moving Company ever had an MC docket number on federal record?

Current FMCSA SAFER records do not list an MC, MX or FF number for USDOT 2193963. Historical FMCSA Licensing & Insurance records reference MC-890312 for EINSTEIN MOVING COMPANY LLC.

The historical licensing material associates docket MC-890312-C with Einstein Moving Company LLC, while the current SAFER snapshot for that registration lists no MC, MX or FF number. The difference is between an earlier federal record and the current one, which is a difference in time rather than a disagreement between sources: the docket is not stored as a current, active or alternate identifier, it is not attributed to another company, and nothing here says the company holds interstate authority under it today.

Recorded as a historical docket reference, not a current identifier. Read from historical FMCSA Licensing & Insurance material, read against the current SAFER carrier snapshot for the registration above on 2026-08-15.

Is Einstein Moving Company licensed to move within Texas?

For a move that stays inside Texas, movers are authorised by Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, Motor Carrier Division, part of the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, and the authorisation is called TxDMV motor carrier certificate of registration. The agency publishes no public lookup; it verifies authorisation by phone on 888-368-4689. We have not verified Einstein Moving Company's Texas authorisation, and nothing here says it lacks one. Holding federal interstate authority is a separate thing from holding state authorisation for a move that starts and ends inside one state.

What is Einstein Moving Company's USDOT number?

How big is Einstein Moving Company's fleet?

Einstein Moving Company reports 80 power units and 182 drivers on its federal registration. Power units count trucks, tractors and other self-powered vehicles the company operates, not trailers. Einstein Moving Company last updated that federal registration on March 27, 2026, so the counts describe the fleet as filed on that date rather than today.

Does Einstein Moving Company have a federal safety rating?

Einstein Moving Company has no federal safety rating on its census record. Most interstate carriers have never had a compliance review, and a rating is only assigned after one, so the absence of a rating is not a negative signal about Einstein Moving Company. It means no rating review has been recorded, and the other federal registration details remain the material check.

How much can a mover charge above a non-binding estimate?

On an interstate move priced with a non-binding estimate, a mover may require no more than 110% of the estimated charges before it will release your goods at delivery. That cap is set by 49 CFR 375.407, and it applies to the mover you hire regardless of what the final weight turns out to be. Anything owed above that amount is not payable on delivery day: the mover must bill you for it, and you have 30 days from delivery to pay it under 49 CFR 375.407.

Source: 49 CFR 375.407, eCFR

What is a mover liable for if my belongings are damaged?

Every interstate mover must offer released value, the no-extra-charge level of liability set by 49 CFR 375.701. Under released value the mover owes 60 cents per pound per article, so a claim is settled on what a damaged item weighs rather than on what it is worth. A heavy item pays out more than a light expensive one. The alternative is full value protection, which a mover must also offer, costs extra, and settles at repair, replacement, or a cash equivalent. Released value applies by default if you sign nothing else.

Einstein Moving Company in one paragraph

Einstein Moving Company has been operating since 2012 (about 14 years), runs out of Austin, TX, and covers regional. Current FMCSA filing shows USDOT 2193963. Einstein Moving Company LLC files from Brown Lane in Austin, Texas, active on the federal census with 80 power units, seven non-commercial units, 182 drivers and an MCS-150 filed 27 March 2026. The registration is filed as intrastate only for non-hazardous cargo and the federal record carries no MC, MX or FF docket and no interstate operating authority. That is what the federal file shows and it is stated as a description of the filing, not as a finding about the company's right to operate: an intrastate Texas operation does not require interstate authority. A docket number circulated in secondary sources for this brand was not located on the federal record and is therefore not stored. The company publishes this USDOT number in its own footer together with a Texas Department of Motor Vehicles number, and it publishes a separate Florida registration for its Tampa operation; the Texas registration is the primary record this profile describes and the Florida registrant is disclosed separately as a related registration rather than merged into it. The state numbers are state identifiers and are not recorded as federal registrations. No federal safety rating was located for this registration, which is neither a positive nor a negative signal. The company states it was founded in 2012.

Estimated cost of a move with this carrier

This is an estimated quote range, not a record of prices paid. For a 2-bedroom interstate move, Einstein Moving Company quotes generally land in the $700–$2,600 range, with the midpoint of that estimated range near $1,650. The low end of that range usually applies to off-season runs under 1,000 miles with self-packing; the high end shows up on full-service summer moves over 2,000 miles.

Local hourly pricing through Einstein Moving Company is not published by the company and we hold no rate card for it. Our national editorial estimate for a two-mover crew and a truck on a local move is $105 to $155 an hour, May 2026, and it is a model figure rather than a quote from this carrier. Ask whether travel time, fuel surcharge, and stair fees sit inside or outside the hourly number, because that is where two apparently identical quotes diverge.

Where this carrier may fit

Local and statewide Texas moves in Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio handled by a large in-state crew operation. That is an editorial view of fit, not a measured performance result: we hold no complaint-rate, claims-outcome or satisfaction dataset for Einstein Moving Company. Three things make any move with this company more predictable, whatever the carrier: an inventory list locked in two or more weeks ahead, a binding not-to-exceed estimate in writing, and a destination ZIP the company services directly rather than through a subcontracted agent.

How to work around the main trade-off

The trade-off summarised at the top of this page is the one that most often costs readers money with Einstein Moving Company. Two questions defuse it at quote stage: ask for the specific line items that drive the number up on your move profile, and ask whether the crew at your origin is employed directly or subcontracted to a local agent.

Then price the same inventory with one alternative below. A second quote on identical inventory is the only reliable way to tell whether the premium buys you anything on your particular lane.

Booking process, step by step

  • Request a quote with a complete inventory list. Online forms are fine for a first pass; a video survey is what makes a binding number stick.
  • Insist on binding-not-to-exceed in writing. Federal rules let a carrier collect up to 110% of a non-binding estimate at delivery, with the balance billed later; a binding not-to-exceed estimate removes that exposure.
  • Confirm valuation coverage. Released value (the federal default) pays $0.60 per pound. Full-value protection costs more but actually replaces a damaged TV.
  • Confirm pickup and delivery windows. For interstate jobs the delivery window is a range, not a date — plan accordingly.
  • On move day, walk the truck and check the inventory list before signing the Bill of Lading. Note any pre-existing damage on the form.
