“Moving company Jordan River Moving & Storage offered me an easy solution of moving my household. First of all, the movers organized the furniture and boxes prior to loading. In addition, they unloaded the boxes and furniture efficiently.”

“I used Nation Capital Movers yesterday and had a great experience from start to finish. I booked the move over the phone with Peter, who was professional, friendly, and very thorough. He walked me through every step of the process, clearly explained all charges, and made sure I knew exactly what to…”

“This is the worst moving company that I have ever used after moving across the country seven times. Horrible customer service, and communication, and did not honor the contract terms. Did not honor the requested move date.”
What went wrong on this run: of 25 reviews, 28% mention damage and 12% a delay or a no-show. Reviewer-reported, counted by phrase.
Who makes this move
The figures describe who changed states.
The count runs both ways. Census ACS 2024 puts the Maryland to New York flow at 8,400 people, margin plus or minus 2,298. The other direction is larger on the same survey: 12,198 people moved from New York to Maryland. The figures describe who changed states. They do not explain why.
Prices and wage tax at both ends. BEA price parity for 2024, with the US set at 100, is 105.0 in Maryland and 107.9 in New York. Both states tax wages. Haulest is not a carrier and does not quote a rate. A mover's bill sits apart from both the parity index and the tax.
What the job looks like
The delivery date is a window written on the order for service.
Baltimore to New York is the common run. In our file the most common trip is Baltimore to New York, 187 miles and about 4 hours of driving. Long-distance pricing on this lane is by weight and miles, and the prices in the file mix home sizes and distances. The delivery date is a window written on the order for service. The crew is not timing it to your last mug of coffee.
The review file is small. We have 25 reviews for this run. The median reported price is $3,300 across 25 priced reviews, and the middle half sits at $2,300 to $5,100. Of those reviews, 28% mention damage and 12% mention a delay or a no-show. Read that spread as a mix of jobs, since the file does not hold prices to one home size.
Before you book
On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver when you pay 110 percent of the estimate.
Start with the licence. Interstate household moves need a mover with an active USDOT number and FMCSA household-goods authority. Look the number up in the licence check before you send money. Then read the estimate and mark whether it is binding or not to exceed. Those two papers decide what the truck can charge and when it has to unload.
Get the window and the deposit in writing. On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver when you pay 110 percent of the estimate. Read how that 110 percent rule works on the day of delivery. Ask for the delivery window on the order for service, in writing, and settle deposit terms before any money moves.

- Census ACS 2024 counts 8,400 people moving from Maryland to New York, margin plus or minus 2,298. In the other direction, 12,198 people moved from New York to Maryland. The numbers show the flow, and they stop there.
- How long is the common drive on this run?
- The most common run in our file is Baltimore to New York, 187 miles and about 4 hours of driving. That is drive time, not the full move. The delivery date is a window set on the order for service.
- What prices show up in reviews for this run?
- The median reported price is $3,300 across 25 priced reviews. The middle half runs from $2,300 to $5,100. Prices mix home sizes and distances, so the median is not a quote for your house.
- How often do reviews mention damage or a delay?
- Of the reviews on this run, 28% mention damage and 12% mention a delay or a no-show. A mention in a review is one customer's note. It does not settle what will happen on your order for service.
- What should I check before I pay a deposit?
- You want a mover with an active USDOT number and FMCSA household-goods authority, plus an estimate you can read as binding or not to exceed. On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver on payment of 110 percent of the estimate. Put the delivery window and the deposit terms in writing first.
