How Hightower Moving 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 Hightower Moving runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- One power unit on file, owned, a straight truck.
- Miles driven
- 1 miles reported for 2025.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods, plus general freight.

A two-bedroom move in Toledo: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $39–$49 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $465 – $761.

|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $231 – $369 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $309 – $565 |

Hourly rates are scaled to Ohio: hand movers there earn a median $18.97 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 Hightower Moving
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC532987
Hightower Moving can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC532987. 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 Toledo references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Hightower Moving's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Toledo you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Hightower 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
Judge the estimate against $465 – $761
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Toledo at $465 – $761 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $2,619 – $3,492. A surveyed, written estimate from Hightower Moving far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
