- 35 interstate beyond 100 air miles. Read plainly, every driver it files works beyond 100 miles, the profile of a long-distance operation.

- 35 power units on file (35 term-leased), 35 of them tractors that can pull a trailer, plus 100 trailers.

What a move with Gazda Moving Co Inc should cost
Not Gazda Moving Co Inc's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Minneapolis costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Minneapolis: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Minneapolis: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $46–$57 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $535 – $873.
| Home | Crew | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $259 – $417 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $351 – $645 |
| 2 bedrooms | 2 | 5–7 | $535 – $873 |
| 3 bedrooms | 3 | 6–9 | $903 – $1,614 |
| 4 bedrooms | 4 | 8–10 | $1,547 – $2,355 |
| 5+ bedrooms | 4 | 10–12 | $1,915 – $2,811 |
Hourly rates are scaled to Minnesota: hand movers there earn a median $22.25 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $46–$57 per mover per hour.

Before you book Gazda Moving Co Inc
- 1
Keep the move inside Minnesota
Gazda Moving Co Inc is registered for moves within Minnesota. For a move to another state, ask which interstate carrier would haul it and look up that company's USDOT number as well.
- 2
Ask for Minneapolis references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Gazda Moving Co Inc's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Minneapolis you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Gazda Moving Co Inc 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
35 of the 35 power units Gazda Moving Co Inc files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 217722, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $535 – $873
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Minneapolis at $535 – $873 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $5,360 – $7,146. A surveyed, written estimate from Gazda Moving Co Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
