Many customers like to know about the company behind the products or services they buy. Here is where we will tell you about our company.

Our Company History

We are fairly new in the transportation business, and look forward to many successful years. Let us put our experience to work for you.

Our Philosophy

We strive to make transporting you, your belongings, or an important package as smooth as possible. Whether you are moving your family across the country or sending a letter across town, we can handle the job.
 
All our employe's have been working in the moving business for many years and are experienced.  One thing we all learned about the moving business though, is that a lot of times the charges are enormous.
 

Most moving companies charge by weight or by cubic foot, which can lead to either an overcharge on your price quote or extra charges by not filling all the cargo space you’ve asked for. Here are a few things other moving companies charge you extra for:

 

  • Piano moves
  • Bulky furniture moves
  • Up to $2.00 per mile of driving
  • $75.00 per extra laborer to help load or unload
  • etc…

 

Over the years, we’ve learned that our customers are more looking for a flat rate instead of getting hit with hidden charges.

 

Our company offers the full move in a flat rate with a “Binding Estimate”. Whether you pack your stuff and we just load, drive and unload, or you want us to pack it for you, we will charge you only one flat rate.  Nothing more, nothing less.

 

We also don’t own our trucks.  We have a leasing agreement with a local truck leasing company where we can pick the truck that fits your needs and don’t have to worry about any arising maintenance costs that we have to put back on our customers bills.  This is the reason you won’t find an MC number on any of our advertisement.  Since the trucks always change, the MC number for that truck always changes.

 

Our prices are based on covering our costs (gas, mileage, insurance), and the labor costs for our employee’s.  The only time we charge something extra would be for the cleaning, refinishing any hardwood floors and painting.  Those prices again depend on the size of the house/apartment and if there are any appliances that need to be rented, like a rug doctor. But again, those services are only offered and can be booked when needed.

 

With this strategy, we can save you a lot of money compared to other moving companies.

If you click on the following link, you will get to the homestore.com websites moving calculator.  On sites like this, you can see in about what price range your move will be and you can get quotes from up to 5 different moving companies that have an account with this site.  Feel free to use it and compare it to our rate.  If you find someone cheaper that fits all your needs, don’t hesitate to go with them.

We don’t charge you extra for a Piano or bulky furniture.  If we can move it for you, it will all be in our flat rate, no hidden costs.

 

We do want to remind you though, that we are based out of Wisconsin.  We do interstate moves, but if you want to move within a distance of 20 miles for example, in Tampa, Florida, you can get a quote from us, but we suggest that you will go with the lowest bid from your local movers.  Of course if our Estimate seems more appealing to you, we will be very happy to move you.

A lot of times we get asked if we can load or unload only.  We only  do those jobs if they are within a 50 mile radius of our headquarters. Otherwise it would get to expensive for our customers.

But if you are solely looking for laborers to help load or unload your moved goods, here are two links to companies that will gladly send you extra helping hands
