The Brooklyn Bridge carries no trucks (NYC DOT), so a moving truck from Brooklyn to Manhattan crosses another way, for example the Manhattan Bridge or the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel (12 ft 1 in height limit, MTA). The FDR Drive is closed to commercial vehicles (NYC DOT), and trucks pay the Congestion Relief Zone toll on Manhattan’s local streets from 60th Street south (MTA). Call (646) 455-1930.
Two buildings, two sets of rules
Brownstones and walk-ups in Brooklyn, doormen and freight elevators in Manhattan: tell us the floor, stairs and elevator at both ends.
Most apartment buildings want three things before a mover arrives: a booked move time, a reserved service elevator (if there is one) and a certificate of insurance (COI) naming the building. Ask management for their sample COI and send it to us a week before; we send the COI your building asks for.
Licensed in New York
A move inside New York State is licensed by the state. A & A Alliance Moving Inc (Two Guys And a Truck NYC), a family business since 1999, holds NYSDOT 34875; for moves to other states we also hold U.S. DOT No. 967970 / MC-432549 and NJPM 000930.
Common questions
Can a moving truck go over the Brooklyn Bridge?
No. NYC DOT says the Brooklyn Bridge carries vehicles but no trucks (NYC DOT).
Can the truck use the FDR Drive?
No. The FDR Drive is on NYC DOT’s list of roads where commercial vehicles are not permitted (NYC DOT).
Is there a toll for the truck going into Manhattan?
Trucks are tolled in the Congestion Relief Zone (Manhattan local streets from 60th Street south), and MTA tunnels have tolls (MTA). Ask us to include tolls in your written estimate.
Do you do walk-ups?
Yes. Tell us the floor and the stairs at both addresses so we plan the crew.
