- Where its drivers work
- 5 interstate beyond 100 air miles; 30 interstate within 100 air miles; 30 intrastate beyond 100 air miles; 5 intrastate within 100 air miles. Read plainly, it runs both: 35 on longer runs and 35 close to home.

- Trucks
- 19 power units on file (12 owned and 7 term-leased), all straight trucks.
- Miles driven
- 750,000 miles reported for 2025, about 39,474 per truck.

Before you book Moving Ahead Services LLC
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC609826
Moving Ahead Services LLC can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC609826. 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
Moving Ahead Services LLC had 10 roadside inspections in 24 months and 1 vehicle out-of-service order (14.3% 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 Moving Ahead Services 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
Ask whose truck arrives
7 of the 19 power units Moving Ahead Services LLC files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 1657726, 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 Willoughby at $465 – $761 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $2,039 – $2,718. A surveyed, written estimate from Moving Ahead Services LLC far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
