- Miles driven
- 80,000 miles reported for 2026, about 40,000 per truck.

Before you book Elephant Movers LLC
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1193705
Elephant Movers LLC can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1193705. 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 about the 1 out-of-service order
1 of Elephant Movers LLC's 4 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (25.0%, against 19.0% for all listed movers). Ask what failed, whether it was fixed, and which truck would do your move.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Elephant Movers LLC 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 $455 – $733
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Knightdale at $455 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $2,196 – $2,928. A surveyed, written estimate from Elephant Movers LLC far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
