Moving of America review (2026)

Moving of America in one paragraph

Moving of America has been operating since 2003 (about 23 years), runs out of Saddle Brook, NJ, and covers all 50 states. Current FMCSA filing shows USDOT 1601312 and MC MC-592337. Northeast carrier with steady East Coast and Midwest interstate operations. Binding-NTE quotes available on request.

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, Moving of America quotes generally land in the $2,300–$6,300 range, with the midpoint of that estimated range near $4,300. 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 Moving of America 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

Northeast and East Coast interstate. That is an editorial view of fit, not a measured performance result: we hold no complaint-rate, claims-outcome or satisfaction dataset for Moving of America. 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 Moving of America. 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.

Moving of America vs the competition

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.
