What to Know About Roadway Moving
Roadway Moving has quickly established itself as one of Manhattan's most respected movers since launching in 2008. Their specialty is navigating the complex logistics of NYC luxury building moves — COI requirements, elevator reservations, loading dock scheduling, and building manager relationships. This expertise is invaluable for customers in doorman buildings where a mover without proper documentation can't even enter. Their technology integration, including GPS tracking and digital inventories, brings a modern feel to an old-school industry. Reviews consistently praise crew professionalism and careful handling. The downside is cost — Roadway charges a premium that reflects their expertise and overhead. For studio renters or budget-conscious moves, they're overkill. Their long-distance service exists but isn't their core competency. For customers who want Roadway-level professionalism at a more accessible price point, Movd's platform matches you with similarly DOT-licensed, building-experienced crews through real-time proximity matching — often at 20-40% less than Roadway's rates. Hiring any moving company directly means you vet the crew, negotiate the price, and pay them yourself on move day. Booking through Movd instead is a protected transaction: your price is approved up front from your full inventory, and your payment is held by Movd until after your move.

How Movd Protects Your Move
With Roadway Moving — or any moving company you hire directly — you vet the crew, you negotiate the price, and you pay them yourself. With Movd, the transaction itself is protected:
You pay Movd — not a crew on your doorstep
Book with a $50 deposit. Your card is pre-authorized before the move, the balance is charged only after your move is complete, and Movd releases your mover's payout after the job is done. No cash handoffs, no doorstep renegotiation.
A price you approve before anyone lifts a box
Your quote is computed from your full inventory and building access up front, and every package includes a built-in volume buffer so small misses don't change your price — backed by the $2,500 Move Guarantee.
No negotiation, no sales pressure
Input-based and approval-based: enter your move, review the computed price, book it. No phone haggling, no bait-and-switch, no on-site renegotiation.
A vetted, accountable crew
Every Movd fleet partner is pre-vetted, DOT-licensed, and insured, and Movd handles the Certificate of Insurance paperwork with your building — someone stands behind the move besides the crew itself.
