Ross Sapir: A Trailblazer in the Moving Industry
In a remarkable recognition of entrepreneurship and innovation,
Ross Sapir, the founder and CEO of
Roadway Moving, has been honored with the prestigious
EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2025 award in New York. This accolade, presented by Ernst & Young LLP, celebrates the visionaries who drive impact through their high-growth businesses and contribute to community upliftment.
Since its inception in 2008 as a modest self-funded venture operating with a single truck, Roadway Moving has undergone a dramatic transformation, evolving into New York City's highest-rated moving company. Under Sapir's stewardship, Roadway has notably expanded its fleet to over 100 trucks, securing its status as a nationally recognized powerhouse in the moving industry.
Sapir’s innovative approach has revolutionized the moving experience, making it more seamless and customer-centric. "I'm incredibly honored to receive this recognition," said Sapir in response to the award. However, he emphasized that the accolade belongs to his dedicated team: "From the beginning, we've set out to change the expectations of a moving company by fostering a culture built on respect, accountability, and service. This award reflects their dedication and passion.”
The journey to his role as CEO is an inspiring tale of overcoming challenges. Having moved to the United States as an immigrant and initially working as a bartender, Sapir’s vision was to challenge the traditional standards of the moving industry, which often suffers from low expectations and poor customer service experiences. Leveraging his background in hospitality, Sapir cultivated a company that prioritizes transparency, employee growth, and operational efficiency. Impressively, Roadway boasts a remarkable
99.3% on-time delivery rate, alongside some of the highest customer satisfaction ratings in the industry.
Beyond its business success, Roadway Moving is deeply engaged in community service. They actively support various local initiatives, including donation drives, disaster relief efforts, and partnerships with nonprofits. This community-oriented approach is rooted in Sapir’s belief that business efficacy should go hand in hand with a commitment to social responsibility.
As a regional winner, Ross Sapir has now qualified for the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2025 National Awards, set to be unveiled this November during the Strategic Growth Forum, an annual event that gathers top CEOs from around the country. The national winners will then be eligible to compete in the
EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year™ competition scheduled for June 2026.
