If You See Them on an Admiral Job, They Are on Our Books

Plenty of the outfits advertising moves in this city amount to a number that flips your job to whatever crew bids cheapest. We do not run that way. Step onto a job with us and every mover there is employed by this company, recruited and coached by Vinny, never picked up off a corner at sunrise.

Your move never goes to whoever is cheapest

There is no day-labor stranger guiding your dresser onto a Tribeca freight car. The crew grows a person at a time, with a bias toward the ones who stick around, and Vinny has hired this way since opening up.

What Gets You Onto Vinny’s Crew

One steady hire now and again beats a revolving door of temps, so a spot on this crew asks for more than strength.

  • A clean background check comes first, before anybody enters your home.
  • Every driver keeps a valid DOT medical card, no exceptions, since they pilot our trucks over the bridges and along the BQE in heavy city traffic.
  • A new hire rides for weeks as the extra set of hands next to Tariq or Dominic before earning the lead.
  • Running a job means you have shown you can wrap a brownstone banister, carry a couch down five flights, and treat someone’s belongings the way you would treat yours.

Fully Insured, and Claims Come Right to Us

Every New York move rides under $1M of cargo protection. Admiral does the work itself rather than acting as a middleman, so whatever you might ever need to claim arrives directly at our desk.

One outfit owns the entire day

If anything ever does go sideways, Vinny’s office picks up on the spot, not some 800 number for a carrier you never dealt with. We ran the move, so putting it right is on us.

The Crew Behind Admiral Van Lines

Twenty people in total: four running the office, two leading crews, and fourteen W-2 movers on the lifting. This is who handles what.

Vincent Russo Owner Bensonhurst-raised, he opened Admiral in 2008 after a long stretch driving for the major national carriers, and he still comes out on the larger co-op and cross-country jobs.
Gina Esposito Intake & Scheduling The voice that greets you, pins down the date, and keeps the calendar in order.
Mike Donnelly Move Coordinator Maps out the local and interstate work, lodges the building COIs, and keeps you in the loop start to finish.
Rachel Klein Estimator Reviews your inventory and locks the flat figure so the day holds no surprises.
Tariq Jones & Dominic Costa Crew Chiefs Head the movers on each truck and can take on almost any building, a Park Avenue doorman tower or a fifth-floor Bushwick walk-up alike.

One New York crew, your first call through your last box

That continuity is the upside of a mover keeping its own roster rather than handing the job out. Reach a live coordinator at (888) 711-4778.
