Roadside inspections, last 24 months
Lowell's Moving & Storage had 4 roadside inspections in the last 24 months. 1 of its 2 vehicle inspections put a truck out of service (50.0%), above the 19.0% across all listed movers; 1 of 4 driver inspections took a driver off the road (25.0%, 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 Lowell's Moving & Storage operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 5 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 5 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 Lowell's Moving & Storage runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- 3 power units on file (1 owned and 2 term-leased), all straight trucks.
- Miles driven
- 40,000 miles reported for 2025, about 13,333 per truck.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods, plus general freight, building materials, machinery and large objects, construction and other cargo.

Before you book Lowell's Moving & Storage
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC760170
Lowell's Moving & Storage can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC760170. 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 Lowell's Moving & Storage's 2 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (50.0%, 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 Lowell's Moving & Storage 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
2 of the 3 power units Lowell's Moving & Storage files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 1653526, 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 So Burlington at $465 – $761 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $1,373 – $1,830. A surveyed, written estimate from Lowell's Moving & Storage far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
