How First-Rate Moving operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 4 interstate beyond 100 air miles. Read plainly, every driver it files works beyond 100 miles, the profile of a long-distance operation.

- Trucks
- 3 power units on file (3 owned), all straight trucks.
- Miles driven
- 60,150 miles reported for 2024, about 20,050 per truck.
- Cargo declared

Before you book First-Rate Moving
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC99572
First-Rate Moving can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC99572. 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 which truck and crew you get
First-Rate Moving had 4 roadside inspections in 24 months and 0 vehicle out-of-service orders (0.0% 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 First-Rate Moving 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 $495 – $803
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Windham at $495 – $803 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $1,053 – $1,404. A surveyed, written estimate from First-Rate Moving far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
