PROBLEM
Follow-up on a related business: partly established
FMCSA identifies CGS MOVING LLC as the legal name and AFFORDABLE MOVING as its DBA, with a Lubbock physical address and phone number (806) 799-4033.
The permitted source does not verify a Texas state-register filing, shared people, a website, or consumer statements about succession or rebranding; it also does not independently establish a separate Affordable Moving business beyond the DBA listing.
Ask the company what its relationship is to the other business before you book.
USDOT 2207616: no federal operating authority recorded
SAFER operating-authority status: NOT AUTHORIZED. The registration declares Intrastate Only (Non-HM) to FMCSA. This does not establish the business's advertised service area.
For an interstate move, verify which carrier will perform the move and its operating authority. For an in-state move, check the applicable state licence.
Not in FMCSA's interstate mover registry — no complaint history is published
USDOT 2207616 does not appear in FMCSA's Protect Your Move household-goods mover registry, so the National Consumer Complaint Database history is not published for it. FMCSA keeps that history for registered interstate movers only.
Every exposed BBB review and complaint record was read: 0 reviews, 2 public complaints
BBB exposes no reviews. Public complaints 2024-09-04 to 2024-12-25 (BBB status counts: 2 answered; “answered” is not “resolved”). Complete retrieval of the exposed record is not proof the reviews are authentic or that nothing was removed.
BBB grades this business A+. BBB complaints: 2 complaints in the last 3 years (0 closed in the last 12 months); types: Service or Repair Issues 2; status: 2 answered. Source observations: accreditation 2026-10-09T04:31:00.239Z; complaint count 2026-10-09T04:31:00.239Z; rating and review count 2026-10-09T04:31:00.239Z.
A BBB letter grade is BBB's own assessment; it is not an endorsement, a licence check or a clearance of the company.
Texas Comptroller Franchise Tax Account Status lists CGS MOVING, L.L.C. (17527981918) with status “ACTIVE”, formed 1997-06-10. Registered agent: [name withheld]. Officers/managers listed: [name withheld] (PRESIDENT). A business registration is not a mover licence.
Tied to this business by exact name and a named officer or agent.
The captured federal record lists a carrier role. This alone does not establish current interstate household-goods authority or guarantee who will perform your move.
Intrastate operation reported
The captured federal record reports in-state operation. This is a declared operating scope, not verification of a state license. See the separate licensing checks.
25+ years online
How long this company’s website has existed, from Internet Archive records. Very new websites are a common scam signal.

What we checked
1 passed
Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
No active federal authority captured. Observed Oct 9, 2026. Carrier, broker and freight-forwarder authority are separate categories. This federal result does not determine its eligibility for in-state moves; see the separate state-registry check.
Federal interstate household-goods carrier authority
An own-carrier authority check is not applicable to the recorded broker/forwarder role, parent-authority relationship, or declared in-state operation. Observed Oct 9, 2026. This does not rule out separate broker authority. Eligibility for in-state moves is checked separately in the state registry.
State household-goods licence
Texas DMV (TxDMV) motor-carrier registry lists an active motor carrier certificate 000537336, valid through May 31, 2027 (checked Sep 2, 2026).
Federal insurance status
We do not have a consistent, dated insurance amount observation matched to this company’s USDOT. This is a verification gap, not a finding that the company is uninsured.
Review ratings compared across sources
Google has an unknown number of reviews, too few to compare with Yelp's 23; star ratings differ by 1.1 stars.
Address and operating-location evidence
Property use and a customer-accessible operating facility have not been established. A registered address, mailing address and local office can serve different purposes.
Address use and operating locations
A registered office, mailing address and operating facility can be different places. Residential or mailbox use alone does not establish improper operation.
No current source-backed property-use determination is available. This is a verification gap, not proof of a false address or a verified operating facility.

Observed
FMCSA identifies CGS MOVING LLC as the legal name and AFFORDABLE MOVING as its DBA, with a Lubbock physical address and phone number (806) 799-4033.
The permitted source does not verify a Texas state-register filing, shared people, a website, or consumer statements about succession or rebranding; it also does not independently establish a separate Affordable Moving business beyond the DBA listing.
Before booking: Ask the company what its relationship is to the other business before you book.
Other businesses that share an identifier with this company, searched Oct 9, 2026. A shared phone, email, address or registration number is a documented fact. On its own it does not establish common ownership or a corporate relationship; that is stated separately for each entry.
Follow-up on unresolved leads
Each question below was checked against further sources on Oct 9, 2026. The conclusion states only what those sources establish; what remains unverified is stated beside it.

Authority statusWhat does this mean?Federal operating authority is category-specific: carrier, broker and freight-forwarder roles are separate. An active registration or one active role does not establish household-goods carrier authority. Operating restrictions are checked separately.
Carrier operationWhat does this mean?This carrier is registered to operate only within one state. Federal interstate authority does not apply to intrastate-only carriers, which is why federal insurance and authority status fields may show as "Not Specified" or "Not Authorized."
Intrastate Only (Non-hazardous materials)
Interstate HHG carrier authorityWhat does this mean?"HHG" means Household Goods. This field checks interstate carrier authority, not separate broker authority. A "No" here does not rule out broker authority; consult the category-specific federal dockets below.
TrucksWhat does this mean?FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases.
6
DriversWhat does this mean?Drivers the carrier has registered with FMCSA. This is the official number; some carriers operate with more drivers than registered.

DOT complaints (FMCSA)
We could not verify complaints for this companyNot listed in FMCSA's Protect Your Move mover registry, so no NCCDB complaint history is published for this USDOT number. FMCSA keeps that history for registered interstate household-goods movers only. This is not a clean record — it is an unknown one. Check FMCSA's mover search yourself before you book.

How current is this report?
Report assembled Oct 9, 2026. First published Oct 12, 2026. This report pulls from 344 pieces of information across federal, state, review, and identity sources. Check each source's date for when its information was observed.
NMB does not invent facts. When a section reads "—" or "this check has not run yet," that means we have not been able to verify the information from a primary source. It does not mean the answer is good or bad.
