- 4 interstate beyond 100 air miles. Read plainly, every driver it files works beyond 100 miles, the profile of a long-distance operation.

- Miles driven
- 1 miles reported for 2024, about 0 per truck.

Local moves in New York City: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in New York City: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $44–$55 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $515 – $845.
| Home | Crew | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $251 – $405 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $339 – $625 |

Before you book Upstairs Downstairs Moving
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC752670
Upstairs Downstairs Moving can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC752670. 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 New York City references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Upstairs Downstairs Moving's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near New York City you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Upstairs Downstairs Moving 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
1 of the 4 power units Upstairs Downstairs Moving files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 916296, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $515 – $845
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in New York City at $515 – $845 and a two-bedroom move to Los Angeles, CA at $12,843 – $17,124. A surveyed, written estimate from Upstairs Downstairs Moving far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
