I’m Damon — here’s how a DC-to-New-York move actually runs
I’m Damon Whitfield, owner of Mercy Movers. Half the long-haul work I dispatch out of Washington, DC heads up I-95 about 225 miles to New York, NY. It’s a route my crew chiefs have run hundreds of times — Capitol Hill rowhouse on a Tuesday, Brooklyn or Upper East Side walk-up on a Wednesday morning.
One truck, one crew, door to door
We send one Mercy Movers truck and one uniformed W-2 crew. The lead driver who watches the wardrobe boxes leave your Logan Circle stoop is the same lead driver standing in your New York lobby talking to the doorman. Mid-Atlantic to NYC means tight building windows on both ends — that’s why a single dedicated crew matters here.
- DC pickup: COI to your building, marble-stoop protection, parking-permit window
- Run up I-95 through Baltimore, Wilmington and the Jersey Turnpike
- NYC delivery: freight elevator booked, dock COI on file, narrow-street shuttle if needed
Flat price, written before we load
I won’t quote NYC moving by the hour — too many surprises. After a quick survey we lock a binding flat rate in writing. See full route details on the long-distance moving page or jump back to Mercy Movers home; piano or safe coming north? Read the piano & specialty page.
