    We chose Moving of America because of the good reviews, Joey the project manager was great, our local NJ pickup experience was genuinely excellent.. crew was professional, efficient, careful with our belongings, and overall gave us confidence that we had chosen the right company for our interstate move.

    Unfortunately, the interstate portion of the move completely ruined that experience.

    What we later discovered is that interstate moves are clearly not handled the same way as their local operations, despite being led to believe the move would remain within their own team. Once our shipment left NJ, communication, accountability, and overall professionalism changed.

    By that point, Moving of America had already collected the majority of the payment, while the remaining balance was due to the company handling the delivery.

    At delivery, the driver who was contracted out called me and said he didn’t think he could get into the neighborhood and that he would have to go and get a shuttle. I asked him how many guys he had, he indicated 2.. I said why don’t we use my own smaller moving truck instead, and the driver confirmed and to meet him a mile from our house with our truck.

    Only after we arrived at the transfer point, no helpers were there- only the driver and at that point, we were informed for the first time that because we used our own truck, delivery labor was cancelled entirely. This was never disclosed beforehand. No revised agreement or change in scope was provided or signed. We were suddenly left responsible for unloading, unwrapping, and moving an entire household into our home ourselves after arriving in our new state only hours earlier with two young children.

    The driver would not transfer the belongings into our truck until payment was made, despite the agreed delivery services no longer being performed as originally contracted.

    Because everything remained wrapped at the transfer point, there was no realistic ability to inspect our belongings for damage there. After completing the move ourselves and removing the wrapping inside the home, before having to return all of the moving blankets because the driver said MofA would charge him if he didn’t return all of them, we discovered damage to a dresser and mirror.

    What has been most disappointing is how the situation was handled afterward. Our move took place in February, and after more than a month of detailed back-and-forth communication attempting to resolve this professionally, the company ultimately stopped responding altogether. Multiple requests for the recorded phone call from the day of delivery were ignored. Formal complaints were filed with the Better Business Bureau and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, yet even after those filings there was still no meaningful effort to resolve the situation.

    The only offer ever made was a $300 “goodwill” payment intended to cover both the damaged items and the significant delivery issues. Within the release documents for their “goodwill” offer you essentially waive your rights from later pursuing any public reviews related to your dispute and the company is not deemed responsible for anything, which is ironic because no responsibility was taken anyway. They provided no willingness to reasonably negotiate, no meaningful counteroffer, and no acknowledgment of the fact that the contracted delivery services were never actually completed.

    This review is not being written simply because issues occurred during a move — things happen stuff can break. It is being written because of the lack of transparency, the last-minute change in delivery execution, the refusal to provide requested documentation, and the complete lack of accountability once the interstate portion began.

    The local NJ team was genuinely very good, which honestly makes this even more disappointing. If you are considering Moving of America for an interstate move I genuinely hope your experience is much better then ours because our interstate experience was very different from what was represented upfront.

Galileo, Eddie, and Kimberly arrived right on time and immediately began wrapping our furniture with protective blankets. I appreciated how organized they were when loading the truck and how carefully they handled fragile items. The entire move felt smooth and well planned from beginning to end. Nothing was damaged and everything arrived exactly where we wanted it placed.

They were professional, courteous, and extremely careful with my parents’ belongings. They worked efficiently while still taking the time to make sure everything was handled properly, which meant a lot to our family.

    Thanks to Moving of America I had a stress-free and successful move. Office personnel was very organized and transparent about pricing. During moving day, office personnel called me multiple times to check in on the status of the move to make sure everything was running efficiently and smoothly.

    My foreman, Santiago, was professional, clearly communicated everything to me, and answered all my questions. All the workers assigned to my move were also professional, worked well together as a team, and handled all my possessions with care.

    Based on my experience, I highly recommend Moving of America and will definitely use them again in the future.

    Moving of America Serves Kearny, NJ: What That Actually Means

    Kearny NJ Movers

    Kearny is a Hudson County town with a housing stock unlike anything on the Gold Coast. This is not a high-rise town. It’s a duplex-and-two-family town, where the majority of Kearny’s residential buildings are two- to four-unit converted apartments, brick walk-ups, and modest single-family homes, built between the 1940s and 1960s, concentrated around Kearny Avenue, Bergen Avenue, and the Arlington section in the east. That’s why local movers in Kearny NJ, and residential movers in Kearny NJ, like Moving of America handle these unique properties most often, and it’s a different operation from a high-rise COI job in Fort Lee or a freight-elevator window on Boulevard East.

    As a licensed New Jersey carrier, we move you under our own authority and a binding estimate. For the broader service area, see our Hudson County movers page. For local NJ moves, we operate as local movers in Kearny NJ and offer full-service movers in Kearny NJ dispatched from our Ridgefield base, a short trip down the NJ Turnpike or across Route 7 to Kearny.

    5 Key Reasons Families and Businesses Trust Moving of America for Local Moving in Kearny

    Finding a reliable local mover in Kearny is harder than it should be. Most residents have a story about a moving company that showed up late, damaged something, or added fees that were never mentioned upfront. Moving of America was built because Kearny families and businesses deserve better. Here is what that looks like in practice.

    1. We Know Kearny Like the Back of Our Hand

    We are not a national brand with a call center in another state routing jobs to whoever is available. Moving of America is a New Jersey company, built right here, serving Kearny and the surrounding Hudson County area directly. Our crews have handled moves throughout Kearny’s 07032 zip code for nearly two decades, from tight residential streets to commercial buildings near the Passaic and Hackensack Rivers. We know which blocks have limited parking, which buildings require advance elevator reservations, and which routes keep your move on schedule. That kind of local knowledge cannot be faked, and it makes moving day go a lot smoother.

    We do. Moving of America covers all of Kearny, NJ and the greater Hudson County region, along with neighboring towns across Bergen, Passaic, and Essex counties. Wherever you're located in Kearny, we have a crew that knows the area well.
    We are a local New Jersey company through and through. No franchise, no broker, no outsourcing to whoever is cheapest that day. When you book with us, you get our own trained crew, our own trucks, and people who actually live and work in New Jersey.

    2. Honest, Transparent Pricing

    Nobody likes getting a quote over the phone and then seeing a completely different number on the invoice. That bait-and-switch pricing is unfortunately common in the moving industry, and it’s one of the biggest complaints we hear from customers who tried other companies before calling us. At Moving of America, every Kearny move gets a clear, flat-rate estimate. No fuel surcharges dropped on you at the end. No stair fees that were never mentioned. What we tell you upfront is what you pay, full stop.

    Pricing depends on factors like the size of your home, number of boxes, and distance of the move. We go over all of that with you before you book, so there are no surprises when the job is done.

    Never. We know how frustrating it is to get hit with extra charges on moving day. The quote we give you covers everything — labor, truck, and equipment. Nothing gets added on at the end.

    3. Every Service You Need, All in One Place

    A lot of local movers in Kearny just load and unload a truck and call it a day. We do a lot more than that. Moving of America handles packing and unpacking, furniture disassembly and reassembly, loading and unloading, and storage if you need a place to keep your things between moves. Whether you’re moving a Kearny apartment or relocating a full office, we have the crew, equipment, and experience to handle it properly.

    We offer full-service local moving, which means we can take care of everything from packing your kitchen to reassembling your furniture at the new place. Services include residential and commercial moving, packing and unpacking, furniture disassembly and reassembly, loading and unloading, and short- and long-term storage options.

    Absolutely. Many of our customers add packing to their move because it saves a ton of stress in the days leading up to moving day. Our team brings all the materials and handles everything carefully, including fragile items and anything requiring special wrapping.

    4. You Can Actually Trust the People Coming Into Your Home

    This matters more than most people think about when comparing moving quotes. You’re letting strangers into your home, around your family and valuables. Every person on our team goes through a background check and proper professional training before ever stepping foot on the job. Moving of America is fully licensed by the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs and carries comprehensive liability and cargo insurance on every move. That means you’re protected if something unexpected happens.

    Yes, fully. We are licensed through the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs and carry liability and cargo insurance on every job. Your belongings are covered from the moment we start loading to the moment we place the last box in your new space.
    Every time. We do not use day laborers or subcontractors. Everyone who shows up to your Kearny move has been background checked and trained by our team.

    5. Our Reputation in Kearny and Beyond Does the Talking

    We could write a lot about how great we are, but the best proof is what our customers say. Moving of America has hundreds of verified five-star reviews on Google from real New Jersey families, renters, seniors, and business owners. People come back to us when they move again, and they refer us to friends and family. That kind of loyalty doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when a company consistently does what it says it will do.

    We're really proud of our reviews. Thousands of NJ customers have left us five-star ratings on Google, and the feedback consistently comes back to the same things: we showed up on time, we were careful with their belongings, and the price was exactly what they were told.
    It comes down to doing the basics really well. We show up when we say we will, we treat your home with respect, and we don't hit you with surprise charges at the end. That's why our customers keep coming back and keep referring us to people they care about.

    What Moving of America Knows About Kearny

    Kearny’s 2024 commercial-vehicle ordinance has a moving-truck carve-out, and it matters

    In 2024, Kearny adopted a commercial-vehicle parking ordinance that prohibits commercial trucks on residential streets between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m… Most moving companies operating in Kearny either don’t know this or ignore it. But the ordinance also includes a specific written carve-out: moving trucks used under a written agreement are explicitly exempt from the general prohibition and may park during the day while actively rendering service. That’s what a binding estimate and a written moving contract provide legal protection under Kearny’s own ordinance. We schedule load and unload windows within the legal daytime window and arrive with the paperwork that covers the truck. No improvised parking, no exposure to a $150-per-instance fine.

    Kearny’s housing stock drives the move plan to duplexes, walk-ups, and street access

    Nearly three-quarters of Kearny’s housing is duplexes, converted two-families, or small apartment buildings, most of it built before 1970. That means tight stairwells, narrow doorways, street-level carries without freight elevators, and parking that competes with residents on every block. The Arlington section in eastern Kearny, the neighborhood surrounding the historic Arlington Depot and running toward the border with Lyndhurst and North Arlington, is particularly dense with older brick two-family and walk-up apartments on tight streets like Elm Street, Midland Avenue, and Schuyler Avenue. Kearny NJ movers size the crew and truck for the job type and pre-plan the truck approach for the specific block. On the newer side, the Vermella complex on Bergen Avenue (Vermella Crossing and Vermella East) is a managed luxury property with building management protocols. If you’re moving in or out of Vermella, confirm COI and building-access requirements with the leasing office at booking or when you hire movers in Kearny, NJ.

    How Much Does Moving in Kearny Cost?

    Local Kearny moves are priced hourly by crew size and truck. The dominant move type, a two-family or duplex on a residential street, is straightforward to price, with crew size matched to the home, one truck, street-level carry, or a short staircase walk-up. Managed-building moves like Vermella may take longer depending on access protocols. If you’re looking for affordable movers in Kearny, NJ, or seeking a moving quote, our current local rate starts at an hourly rate. Every job receives a binding written estimate before the truck moves. The price on the estimate is the price on the Bill of Lading. We will explain the difference between a binding and a non-binding estimate before you commit to either.

    Our Moving Process in Kearny

    best movers in Demarest
    We begin by scheduling a survey of your home or apartment to assess your moving needs. After the survey, we provide a written binding estimate so you know exactly what to expect. If you’re moving in or out of a managed building like Vermella, we also confirm Certificate of Insurance (COI) and access protocol requirements at this stage.
    Next, we review the Kearny ordinance window with you to ensure your move is scheduled within the legal daytime hours. We prepare the written contract, plan the truck approach for your specific block, and issue a COI to building management if required.
    On moving day, our licensed and insured movers in Kearny, NJ, arrive at your location. We conduct a full household goods inventory, prepare the Bill of Lading, and bring equipment suited for your type of home, whether it’s a walk-up or two-family residence. The moving truck is staged within the legal daytime window for compliance.
    After transport, we deliver your items, place them in your new home as requested, and conduct a walkthrough with you to ensure everything is in order. Whether you need apartment movers in Kearny, NJ, or house movers in Kearny, NJ, your goods are covered by valuation protection throughout the process. Survey and written binding estimate. For Vermella or any managed building: COI and access protocol confirmed at this step.

    We chose Moving of America because of the good reviews, Joey the project manager was great, our local NJ pickup experience was genuinely excellent.. crew was professional, efficient, careful with our belongings, and overall gave us confidence that we had chosen the right company for our interstate move.

    Unfortunately, the interstate portion of the move completely ruined that experience.

    What we later discovered is that interstate moves are clearly not handled the same way as their local operations, despite being led to believe the move would remain within their own team. Once our shipment left NJ, communication, accountability, and overall professionalism changed.

    By that point, Moving of America had already collected the majority of the payment, while the remaining balance was due to the company handling the delivery.

This was never disclosed beforehand. No revised agreement or change in scope was provided or signed. We were suddenly left responsible for unloading, unwrapping, and moving an entire household into our home ourselves after arriving in our new state only hours earlier with two young children.

    The driver would not transfer the belongings into our truck until payment was made, despite the agreed delivery services no longer being performed as originally contracted.

    Because everything remained wrapped at the transfer point, there was no realistic ability to inspect our belongings for damage there. After completing the move ourselves and removing the wrapping inside the home, before having to return all of the moving blankets because the driver said MofA would charge him if he didn’t return all of them, we discovered damage to a dresser and mirror.

    What has been most disappointing is how the situation was handled afterward. Our move took place in February, and after more than a month of detailed back-and-forth communication attempting to resolve this professionally, the company ultimately stopped responding altogether. Multiple requests for the recorded phone call from the day of delivery were ignored. Formal complaints were filed with the Better Business Bureau and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, yet even after those filings there was still no meaningful effort to resolve the situation.

    The only offer ever made was a $300 “goodwill” payment intended to cover both the damaged items and the significant delivery issues.

It is being written because of the lack of transparency, the last-minute change in delivery execution, the refusal to provide requested documentation, and the complete lack of accountability once the interstate portion began.

    The local NJ team was genuinely very good, which honestly makes this even more disappointing. If you are considering Moving of America for an interstate move I genuinely hope your experience is much better then ours because our interstate experience was very different from what was represented upfront.

    Moving into a condo can get complicated with scheduling and elevators, but they handled it well. A bit of waiting here and there, but nothing out of the ordinary.

    Our move to Lyndhurst was handled professionally by Moving of America. Abel, Alex, and Oscar worked quickly but still paid attention to every detail. They wrapped every piece of furniture before loading it. The team stayed organized the entire time. Everything arrived safely and exactly where we asked.

    We recently moved from Alpine and hired Moving of America after a neighbor recommended them. Galileo, Eddie, and Kimberly arrived right on time and immediately began wrapping our furniture with protective blankets. I appreciated how organized they were when loading the truck and how carefully they handled fragile items. The entire move felt smooth and well planned from beginning to end. Nothing was damaged and everything arrived exactly where we wanted it placed.

    We hired Moving of America to move my parents’ home in Glen Rock, and I could not be happier with the experience. The crew, Santiago, Eddie, Kimberli, Julio, and Abel, were outstanding. They were professional, courteous, and extremely careful with my parents’ belongings. They worked efficiently while still taking the time to make sure everything was handled properly, which meant a lot to our family. They were respectful, well organized, and made a potentially stressful day go very smoothly. I highly recommend Moving of America and this team in particular.

    We chose Moving of America because of Gal’s excellent customer service and attention to detail, and it turned out to be the best decision. We moved from New Jersey to Pennsylvania, and from the start Gal came to our home, explained the entire process clearly, and answered all of our questions, which really put us at ease. On moving day, Eddie, Danny, and Carlos were amazing, professional, fast, and extremely careful. They wrapped, packed, and loaded everything efficiently while making sure all of our belongings were fully protected. Everything arrived safely and without a single scratch.

    Thanks to Moving of America I had a stress-free and successful move. Office personnel was very organized and transparent about pricing. During moving day, office personnel called me multiple times to check in on the status of the move to make sure everything was running efficiently and smoothly.

    My foreman, Santiago, was professional, clearly communicated everything to me, and answered all my questions. All the workers assigned to my move were also professional, worked well together as a team, and handled all my possessions with care.

    Based on my experience, I highly recommend Moving of America and will definitely use them again in the future.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Yes, with the right paperwork. Kearny’s 2024 commercial-vehicle ordinance prohibits commercial trucks on residential streets from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m., but moving trucks operating under a written agreement are explicitly carved out of the general prohibition. Moving of America provides a written binding estimate and contract that covers this ordinance exemption. We plan move-day windows within the legal daytime hours.
    Vermella is a managed luxury complex on Bergen Avenue with building management protocols. Confirm the COI and building access requirements directly with the Vermella leasing office at the time of booking. Managed properties set their own rules, and those rules can change. Moving of America issues a COI on request with 24–48 hours’ notice if the building requires one.
    Moving of America is a licensed New Jersey moving carrier, USDOT #1601312, MC #592337, NJ License #39PC00096600. We move you under our own authority and a binding estimate, not a broker arrangement that routes your job to an unknown third-party carrier.
    Kearny is a duplex and two-family town. About 42% of the housing stock consists of duplexes, converted apartments, or small apartment buildings, most of which were built between the 1940s and 1960s. Single-family homes make up another 31%. This is a very different profile from Fort Lee or Hoboken, and the move plan reflects it: walk-up carries, street-level loads, tighter stairwells, and no freight elevators on most jobs.
    Local moves are priced hourly by crew and truck size. A standard two-family or duplex move in Kearny is straightforward to estimate. Moving of America provides a written binding estimate before the move, so the price is fixed in advance.
