Sorted by price, not by rank

Types of movers, and what each one costs

“Which movers are best” is the wrong first question, because five different kinds of company are all called movers and they price on completely different bases. An hourly crew and an interstate carrier are not competing for the same job. Work out which tier your move belongs to, see what that tier costs, then worry about who.

Every figure below comes out of the same rate model as our calculator and our 104 metro cost pages, so a tier price here and a city price there are the same arithmetic. We publish no ratings and no reviews.

The five cost tiers

How to pick the tier before you pick the company

Start with distance, because it decides which arithmetic applies to you. Under about fifty miles you are buying hours: a crew, a truck, and however long your stairs and your street take. Past roughly four hundred and fifty miles you are buying transport, and the crew hours become the smaller half of a bill dominated by weight and mileage. The awkward middle, a few hundred miles, is priced continuously by our model rather than jumping between the two, which is why a 49-mile and a 51-mile move cost effectively the same here.

Then add service layers. Full packing is the largest single line item you can add to a move and scales with home size, not distance. Storage adds a monthly charge and, importantly, a second handling fee on the way out. Small-move specialists are not a cheaper version of a local crew, they are the same hourly basis against a minimum that matters far more when the job is short.

Only then does the company matter, and what matters about it is narrow: does it serve your metro, does it hold the operating authority its work requires, and does its quote state which clock and which estimate type you are agreeing to. Those are checkable facts. A star rating is not, which is why you will not find one here.

Companies in the directory

The listings below are sample entries. They exist so the directory format is visible while real companies are onboarded, and they carry no USDOT number, no address, and no trading history, because inventing any of those would be worse than showing an empty page. They are excluded from our sitemap and served noindex. A moving company that wants a real listing can apply here, claim a profile, or register to buy leads.

What we check, and what we refuse to publish

Operating authority

Anything crossing a state line needs active USDOT and FMCSA authority. We check it, publish the number, and tell you to verify it yourself at fmcsa.dot.gov.

Insurance on file

Current liability and cargo coverage confirmed at intake and re-checked at renewal. A member that lets it lapse comes off the directory.

A stated pricing basis

Every listing says how the company prices, hourly against a minimum, or weight and mileage under a tariff, so its quote can be read against our figures.

No ratings, no reviews

We publish none, anywhere on this site. A number we cannot substantiate is worse than no number, and paid placement dressed as a score is how this industry earned its reputation.

The full standard is on how we vet movers. You never pay us; how we are paid is disclosed in the footer of every page.

Directory questions

Distance decides it first. Under about 50 miles you want a local hourly crew, and the bill is crew hours. Past roughly 450 miles you need an interstate carrier, and the bill is weight and mileage. Everything else on this page, packing, small-move and storage, is a service layer added on top of one of those two.

No, deliberately. We do not rank moving companies, publish scores, or run reviews. This directory sorts companies by the cost tier they serve so you can match a company type to the number our estimator gives you. Which specific company is best for your job depends on your date, your building, and your inventory, not on a leaderboard.

Local hourly crews: $325–$3,500. Long-distance carriers: $1,725–$9,600. Full-service packing crews: $550–$5,650. Small-move & apartment specialists: $325–$1,300. Storage & flexible-date movers: $525–$3,750. Each range spans the home sizes that tier normally serves, at the assumptions stated on its page.

No. You never pay us, and you never need to give an email address to see an estimate. Moving companies pay for a listing and for the leads we send them, which is disclosed on every page and explained on our for-movers page.

Any company moving your goods across a state line must hold active USDOT and FMCSA operating authority, and you can verify it yourself, free, at fmcsa.dot.gov. Ask for the USDOT number before you book, then check it. Our vetting page explains what else we look at.

The company uses the claim form on the profile. Claiming does not create an affiliation until we confirm it in writing. After a listing is claimed and verified, the company can register to buy exclusive leads and request advertising review. Featured placement is never a ranking.
