Roadway moving costs fall mostly within the average range of moving costs in the U.S., but they’re on the high side. Lots of former customers said that the higher price is worth it. And the company uses flat-rate pricing for all moves, so there aren’t any surprise fees.
We called Roadway Moving to get some sample quotes for moving a two-bedroom home. Our quotes included a truck, three movers, and furniture wrapping.

The positive reviews praised the movers for carefully packing and handling items, including valuable antiques. Reviewers said Roadway makes it easy to book and lets you know exactly what to expect every step of the way. Reviewers also said Roadway customer service quickly responds to any issues.
Most of the negative Roadway Moving reviews come from people who used Roadway for long-distance moves.

We did also see some complaints about damage, but only a few.

Roadway Moving company should have availability to handle your move, but you may want to plan ahead a bit.
Roadway Moving has a fleet of 77 vehicles and 75 drivers, which gives it plenty of moving power. The rep we spoke with said you can usually book one or two weeks in advance of your move. But Roadway Moving gets much busier at certain times of year. The rep said you should book one month out during the summer.
No matter when you move, you’ll have to make arrangements over the phone. Like most moving companies (with the notable exception of Bellhop Movers), Roadway doesn’t accept online bookings. You can request a quote on Roadway’s website, but you’ll need to wait for a phone call to get specific Roadway Moving prices.

Methodology
Value
Our question: Is this moving company worth it?
We start assessing value by requesting a quote from the mover. A quote gives us a breakdown of the company’s fees (hourly rates, truck fees, etc.) and tells us how costs compare to the local and national average.
If a company’s costs are drastically higher than these averages, we can recommend more affordable movers that we’ve also thoroughly vetted. A detailed quote also gives us insight into any additional fees. For example, is packing included, or do you have to pay extra?
Customer experience
Our question: What’s the common user experience for this service?
We look up the mover’s average rating on popular review sites like Yelp, Trustpilot, and Google. Then we read as many reviews as possible to verify the rating and see if any positive or negative themes stand out.
If we notice potential red flags, like lots of damage complaints, we reach out to the customers to see if there’s a cause for concern.
There are also companies who pay people to leave positive reviews. So, if the reviews are glowing, we reach out to reviewers to see if they’re real customers.
Credibility
Our question: Is this company a legitimate business?
Unfortunately, moving scams are fairly common. Lots of people have experienced losing their deposit, movers never showing up, and companies outright stealing their personal items.
To check a company’s credibility, we look for things like Department of Transportation registration, active insurance, and licensing with the appropriate state authorities.
Then we look at sites like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to check the mover’s accreditation, rating, and any unresolved formal complaints against them.
If all the credibility signals check out, then we give the business a high credibility rating. If something seems off, we reach out to the company and former customers for comment.
Availability
Our question: How bookable is this moving service?
To check if the company can typically accommodate a customer’s desired moving date, we ask the company how soon we’d be able to move. Then we ask if the date is flexible.
We also comb Department of Transportation records to see how many trucks and drivers the mover has. A small fleet is a sign that the mover has limited capacity. The company might not be able to handle lots of moves during a busy season.
