- 2 interstate within 100 air miles. Read plainly, every driver it files works within 100 miles, the profile of a local mover.
- Commercial driver's licences
- None of the 2 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 American Moving Team runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.

- Miles driven
- 18,000 miles reported for 2025.

What a move with American Moving Team should cost
Not American Moving Team's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Elizabeth costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Elizabeth: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Elizabeth: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $39–$49 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $465 – $761.
| Home | Crew | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $231 – $369 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $309 – $565 |
| 2 bedrooms | 2 | 5–7 | $465 – $761 |

Hourly rates are scaled to New Jersey: hand movers there earn a median $19.01 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $39–$49 per mover per hour.

Before you book American Moving Team
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1624742
American Moving Team can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1624742. 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 3 out-of-service orders
3 of American Moving Team's 5 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (60.0%, 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 American Moving Team 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 $465 – $761
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Elizabeth at $465 – $761 and a two-bedroom move to Los Angeles, CA at $12,776 – $17,034. A surveyed, written estimate from American Moving Team far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
