How Royal Vanlines operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 1 interstate 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 Royal Vanlines runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- One power unit on file, owned, a straight truck.
- Miles driven
- 24,000 miles reported for 2025.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods only.

Before you book Royal Vanlines
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1673925
Royal Vanlines can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1673925. 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
Royal Vanlines had 3 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 Royal Vanlines 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 West Milford at $465 – $761 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $465 – $761. A surveyed, written estimate from Royal Vanlines far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
