What a move with Pearson Moving Inc should cost
Not Pearson Moving Inc's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Secaucus costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Secaucus: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Secaucus: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $39–$49 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $465 – $761.

| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $231 – $369 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $309 – $565 |

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 Pearson Moving Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC16870
Pearson Moving Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC16870. 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
Pearson Moving Inc had 10 roadside inspections in 24 months and 1 vehicle out-of-service order (12.5% 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 Pearson Moving 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
Judge the estimate against $465 – $761
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Secaucus at $465 – $761 and a two-bedroom move to Los Angeles, CA at $12,812 – $17,082. A surveyed, written estimate from Pearson Moving Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
