How Moving Mountains operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 5 interstate beyond 100 air miles. Read plainly, every driver it files works beyond 100 miles, the profile of a long-distance operation.
- Commercial driver's licences
- None of the 5 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 Moving Mountains runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- One power unit on file, owned, a straight truck.
- Miles driven
- 10,000 miles reported for 2025.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods, plus general freight.

What a move with Moving Mountains should cost
Not Moving Mountains's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Washington costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Washington: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Washington: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $40–$50 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $475 – $775.

|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $235 – $375 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $315 – $575 |

| 5+ bedrooms | 4 | 10–12 | $1,675 – $2,475 |
Hourly rates are scaled to Illinois: hand movers there earn a median $19.50 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $40–$50 per mover per hour.

Before you book Moving Mountains
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1568985
Moving Mountains can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1568985. 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 2 out-of-service orders
2 of Moving Mountains's 4 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (50.0%, 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 Moving Mountains 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 $475 – $775
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Washington at $475 – $775 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $4,230 – $5,640. A surveyed, written estimate from Moving Mountains far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
