Roadside inspections, last 24 months
Smooth Move had 2 roadside inspections in the last 24 months. none of them was a vehicle inspection; 2 of 2 driver inspections took a driver off the road (100.0%, against 13.0%). With fewer than five inspections, a single result moves these rates by 20 points or more, so read them as a handful of events, not a pattern.

How Smooth Move operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 6 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
- None of the 6 drivers on its latest filing holds a CDL. A CDL is required to drive a truck rated over 26,000 lb, so on its own filing Smooth Move runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- 6 power units on file (6 owned), all straight trucks.
- Miles driven
- 125,000 miles reported for 2025, about 20,833 per truck.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods, plus other cargo.

Before you book Smooth Move
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC942089
Smooth Move can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC942089. 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
Smooth Move had 2 roadside inspections in 24 months. 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 Smooth Move 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 – $733
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Rock Hill at $445 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $2,916 – $3,888. A surveyed, written estimate from Smooth Move far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
