How Real Moving & Storage operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 2 interstate beyond 100 air miles; 1 intrastate beyond 100 air miles; 1 intrastate within 100 air miles. Read plainly, it runs both: 3 on longer runs and 1 close to home.
- Commercial driver's licences
- None of the 4 drivers on its latest filing holds a CDL. A CDL is required to drive a truck rated over 26,000 lb, so on its own filing Real Moving & Storage runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- 4 power units on file (2 owned and 2 term-leased), all straight trucks.
- Miles driven
- 18,936 miles reported for 2024, about 4,734 per truck.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods, plus general freight and other cargo.

Local moves in Bethel: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Bethel: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $43–$54 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $505 – $831.

| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $247 – $399 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $333 – $615 |

Hourly rates are scaled to Connecticut: hand movers there earn a median $20.98 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $43–$54 per mover per hour.

Before you book Real Moving & Storage
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC805773
Real Moving & Storage can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC805773. If the written estimate names a van line or another carrier, that company is the one legally responsible for your goods, so check its number too.
- 2
Ask about the 1 out-of-service order
1 of Real Moving & Storage's 5 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (20.0%, against 19.0% for all listed movers). Ask what failed, whether it was fixed, and which truck would do your move.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Real Moving & Storage driver holds a CDL, so its trucks are rated 26,000 lb or less. For a three- or four-bedroom home, ask how many trucks or trips the estimate assumes; on an hourly job a second trip is paid time.
- 4
Ask whose truck arrives
2 of the 4 power units Real Moving & Storage files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 2353187, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $505 – $831
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Bethel at $505 – $831 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $505 – $831. A surveyed, written estimate from Real Moving & Storage far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
