- Miles driven
- 250,000 miles reported for 2024.

Local moves in Albuquerque: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Albuquerque: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $37–$46 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $445 – $719.

| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $297 – $535 |

Before you book Apaca Van Lines Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC171662
Apaca Van Lines Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC171662. 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 for Albuquerque references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Apaca Van Lines Inc's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Albuquerque you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Apaca Van Lines 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 $445 – $719
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Albuquerque at $445 – $719 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $9,455 – $12,606. A surveyed, written estimate from Apaca Van Lines Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
