- 3 power units on file (3 owned), all straight trucks.
- Miles driven
- 432,292 miles reported for 2025, about 144,097 per truck.

A two-bedroom move in Fort Lauderdale: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $38–$47 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $455 – $733.

Hourly rates are scaled to Florida: hand movers there earn a median $18.35 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $38–$47 per mover per hour.

Before you book Direct Relocation Services
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC24036
Direct Relocation Services can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC24036. 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 Direct Relocation Services's 4 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (25.0%, 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 Direct Relocation Services 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
Judge the estimate against $455 – $733
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Fort Lauderdale at $455 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $5,585 – $7,446. A surveyed, written estimate from Direct Relocation Services far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
