What Roadway Moving does

Roadway Moving (legal entity Roadway Movers Inc.) is a privately held, full-service moving and storage company founded in 2008 by Ross Sapir and headquartered at 845 3rd Avenue, New York. The company delivers residential, commercial, long-distance, interstate, international, and specialty (white-glove, art, piano, pool table) moving services, plus short- and long-term climate-controlled storage and ancillary offerings such as packing/unpacking, furniture assembly-disassembly, COI issuance up to $10M, GPS tracking, and Full Value Protection. All moves are executed by in-house crews using a company-owned fleet of 200+ trucks and trailers, with nine owned storage facilities; Roadway explicitly does not use subcontractors.

The technology layer is operational rather than AI-native: live GPS tracking on every shipment, digitally labeled inventory for stored goods, 24/7 surveillance and climate control at storage sites, and a website-plus-phone quote engine backed by personal move coordinators. Pricing is quote-based flat-rate per move, billed as one-time service revenue for moves and as recurring storage revenue, with accepted payments limited to credit/debit cards and certified bank checks.

Roadway generates revenue through a direct-to-consumer and direct-to-SMB GTM, capturing leads via website forms, a central phone line (212-812-5240), relocation consultant consultations, and 16+ regional offices across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Florida, California, Texas, Illinois, Colorado, and Georgia. Customers are predominantly individual residential and SMB commercial clients; named partnerships (New York Yankees, LA Forum, NYC Real Estate Forum) function as brand/marketing channels rather than enterprise revenue anchors. The company holds full federal and state licensing (USDOT #1854436, NY DOT #T-38589, ICC MC-671325, FMC #028636) and BBB accreditation (4.95/5), and has scaled to a claimed 99.3% on-time delivery rate and 94.6% NPS across 6,243 combined reviews on Google, Yelp, BBB, and Angi.
