- 4 intrastate beyond 100 air miles. Read plainly, every driver it files works beyond 100 miles, the profile of a long-distance operation.

- Miles driven
- 96,000 miles reported for 2025, about 24,000 per truck.

Before you book Abate Moving Service
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1278788
Abate Moving Service can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1278788. 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 2 out-of-service orders
2 of Abate Moving Service's 8 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 Abate Moving Service 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 – $719
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Morgantown at $445 – $719 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $1,683 – $2,244. A surveyed, written estimate from Abate Moving Service far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
