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. When booking through Movd, you'll see Roadway Moving alongside 15+ other DOT-licensed movers. Compare prices, availability, and choose the best option for your specific move.
