"Jayrod and Dominic were professional and great efficient workers. They introduced themselves and made sure they understood our needs, going over all the pieces that needed to be moved room by room and carefully completed the task. I am using them again to move more furniture this week."

"Had an AMAZING experience with Roadway Moving. I did their full-pack service and I would recommend this to everyone. Moving has always been super stressful for me because there’s just so much to do and prepare (buying boxes, packing, organizing transportation, etc)… this was my first time moving with a moving company and it’s a night and day difference vs. moving by myself! My sister, who has moved with several moving companies before, even said her experience with Roadway Moving was the best she’s had!"

Customers say: Super punctual

"Moving long-distance is always nerve-wracking, but Let's Move It Right made the entire process seamless. From start to finish, their team was professional, well-organized, and incredibly helpful. They showed up on time, packed my fragile items carefully, and loaded everything quickly. I appreciated their honesty—no upselling, no hidden fees, just straightforward service. The best part? They delivered everything exactly on the promised date, which is rare for long-distance moves. Nothing was lost or damaged, and the movers were super friendly the entire time. If you’re looking for a trustworthy moving company, look no further."

Moving questions, answered by experts

To move a couch through a narrow doorway, first measure the couch and the doorway to ensure it will fit. For a close fit, you can create more space by removing the interior door; tap out the hinge pins with a nail and shift the door sideways to remove it from its hinges. You may need to turn the couch on its side or move it in separate pieces, if possible. Using furniture sliders can also help you slide the couch through the doorway.

Yes, movers will usually move one item like a gas grill—but your propane tank must be empty if you want them to move it. If you still have propane, you’ll need to either transport it yourself or dispose of it properly and purchase a new one after the move.

Moving straps like forearm or shoulder straps can usually support up to 800 pounds, sometimes more with specialized straps. However, that doesn’t mean that one person can always lift that much weight, just that the straps are rated for that amount. For example, some straps require two people working together to balance the weight of the heavy item.

The simplest way to move a shipping container yourself is with a tilt-bed truck. However, you’ll still need to figure out how to get the container on and off the truck.

The time it takes to move your car across the country depends on where the car is going. Generally, it can take five to seven days for your car to complete the journey. If your car is moving from Maine to California or a similar distance, expect to wait the full seven days, but if your car is just going a few states over, it may only take a few days.
