What the federal record says

Arnoff Moving & Storage of Albany INC trades as Arnoff Moving & Storage and holds USDOT number 1041699 and operating authority MC-422644. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in Malta, Saratoga County, New York. Its household goods authority is on file as common carrier of household goods and motor carrier of household goods, which is the grant that allows a company to move a household across a state line for money. The USDOT record was created on 17 July 2002, 24 years before this snapshot, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 31 March 2025.

With 22 power units and 18 drivers on the filing, 0.8 per truck, this is a mid sized fleet. Companies at this scale generally run scheduled lanes rather than one off trips, and they are the ones most likely to quote a binding estimate with a firm delivery spread. The equipment itemized on the form is 15 trucks, 7 tractors, 21 trailers. The company reported 800,000 miles for 2024, which works out at roughly 36,364 miles per power unit. That places it 15th by fleet size among the 342 registered household goods carriers based in New York.

Besides household goods the census lists 3 other cargo classifications: general freight, motor vehicles, machinery, large objects. A carrier with a broad cargo list is running household moves alongside other freight, which can mean better rates on a backhaul and less predictable scheduling. The registered address falls in the Albany-Schenectady-Troy, NY metropolitan area, where 17 other registered household goods carriers are based. FMCSA has not assigned this carrier a safety rating, which is normal: most registered carriers have never been through a compliance review.

The nearest other registered household goods carriers are Ttg Logistics LLC in Schenectady (10.3 miles), Mabco Transit INC in Clifton Park (11.2 miles), Care N Errands LLC in Schenectady (14 miles). Distances are between ZIP code centers, so they are approximate. Getting three written estimates from companies in the same area is the single cheapest thing you can do to avoid being overcharged.

Where this data comes from

Every company on these pages is registered with FMCSA. Registration is a filing requirement, not an endorsement, a licence to a standard, an approval, or a quality check by FMCSA or by this site. Fleet counts, driver counts and mileage are self reported by the carrier on form MCS-150 and are only as current as its last filing. Figures are reproduced as the federal files recorded them on the snapshot dates above and may have changed since.
