How Tom's Moving Service operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 1 intrastate 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
- Its one driver does not hold a CDL. A CDL is required to drive a truck rated over 26,000 lb, so on its own filing Tom's Moving Service runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- One power unit on file, term-leased, a straight truck.
- Miles driven
- 15,000 miles reported for 2002.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods only.
- Last FMCSA review
- August 15, 2006; the safety rating dates from August 16, 2006.

What a move with Tom's Moving Service should cost
Not Tom's Moving Service's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Auburn costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Auburn: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Auburn: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $42–$52 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $495 – $803.
| Home | Crew | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $243 – $387 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $327 – $595 |
| 2 bedrooms | 2 | 5–7 | $495 – $803 |
| 3 bedrooms | 3 | 6–9 | $831 – $1,479 |
| 4 bedrooms | 4 | 8–10 | $1,419 – $2,155 |
| 5+ bedrooms | 4 | 10–12 | $1,755 – $2,571 |
Hourly rates are scaled to New Hampshire: hand movers there earn a median $20.25 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $42–$52 per mover per hour.

Before you book Tom's Moving Service
- 1
Keep the move inside New Hampshire
Tom's Moving Service is registered for moves within New Hampshire. 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 Auburn references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Tom's Moving Service's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Auburn you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Tom's Moving Service 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
1 of the 1 power units Tom's Moving Service files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 681499, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $495 – $803
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Auburn at $495 – $803 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $1,094 – $1,458. A surveyed, written estimate from Tom's Moving Service far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
