How Universal Relocations Inc operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 12 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
- None of the 12 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 Universal Relocations Inc runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- 12 power units on file (1 owned and 11 term-leased), all straight trucks.
- Miles driven
- 200,000 miles reported for 2023, about 16,667 per truck.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods only.

What a move with Universal Relocations Inc should cost
Not Universal Relocations Inc's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Parsippany costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Parsippany: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Parsippany: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $39–$49 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $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 Universal Relocations Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC836909
Universal Relocations Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC836909. 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
Universal Relocations Inc had 33 roadside inspections in 24 months and 1 vehicle out-of-service order (4.0% 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 Universal Relocations 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
Ask whose truck arrives
11 of the 12 power units Universal Relocations Inc files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 2428388, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $465 – $761
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Parsippany at $465 – $761 and a two-bedroom move to Los Angeles, CA at $12,722 – $16,962. A surveyed, written estimate from Universal Relocations Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
