- Miles driven
- 86,200 miles reported for 2025, about 12,314 per truck.

- 1

- 2
Ask which truck and crew you get
American Movers had 7 roadside inspections in 24 months and 1 vehicle out-of-service order (16.7% against 19.0%). The record covers the company; the truck and crew on your day are what you are buying.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No American Movers 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 Wichita at $475 – $775 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $6,633 – $8,844. A surveyed, written estimate from American Movers far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
