One New York crew for every kind of move across the New York City metro — one flat written price before we lift a box, our own trucks, no broker in the middle.
One written number, no walkthrough required.
The Moving General runs eight services out of one Long Island City yard, and every one of them follows the same rule Marcus Doyle brought home from the Transportation Corps: plan the move before the truck leaves. Sal Ferraro builds the route around bridge and tunnel traffic, Denise Falco clears co-op or condo paperwork in advance, and the crew shows up inside the window we quote — not sometime that afternoon.
Below is the full lineup, from a same-borough studio move to a packed-truck run down to Charlotte. Every job gets a written flat number or a clear hourly rate before anyone picks up a box. See where we work across the five boroughs, or jump straight to a free quote.

Every service below runs on the same written flat rate and the same New York crew.
Most days our trucks never leave the five boroughs, running between Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan on one flat number you approve before a single box gets taped.
Cross a state line and the same New York crew that loaded your apartment drives it through, since we run the Boston, Philadelphia, and DC corridors ourselves on our own federal authority instead of handing the load to a stranger.
Brownstone in Park Slope or a split-level out on Staten Island, the routine holds: blankets on the corners, a spotter at every doorway, and furniture reset room by room before we roll out.
Doorman buildings and walk-ups off the 4th floor gate you behind reserved elevators and co-op board paperwork, so Denise nails down the certificate of insurance ahead and Sal schedules the crew straight to the window.
Leave the cabinets and closets full and our packers handle it, sleeving dishes and electronics in rigid boxes, then taping each shut so nothing shifts on a run across the Verrazzano.
Closing dates rarely sync in this market, so we hold the load in climate-controlled storage charged month to month, nothing locked in and no floor on how little you keep.
Keyboard instruments get their own playbook: Curtis’s team blankets the body, straps it to a skid board, and walks it through tight prewar hallways and stair turns without leaving a mark.
Brute force does nothing against a packed gun safe or a heavy floor strongbox, so the crew bridges the threshold with a ramp, anchors all that weight onto a reinforced skate, and rolls it over tile, hardwood, or stairs while the floor stays clean.
Hector and his co-worker did a good job moving everything safely. Very well packaged and protected my belongings and furniture. The Moving General Moving is very professional and always does a great job!
Friendly and thorough. All went as planned.
The guys did a great job packing, protecting furniture and were super friendly to work with.
Send your pickup and dropoff and our New York office sends back a written flat rate — usually within the hour.
