Truckin Movers did a wonderful job moving my Aunt from North Carolina to Chicago. They were so easy to work with. Chris and John were so professional and friendly. They worked quickly but also were very sure to handle everything with care. Thank you for taking the stress out of the moving process. Would definitely recommend to everyone! Thank you!!
This is an exceptional moving company. We used Truckin' for cross country move NC to Cal. The whole team is a class act from Brad in Sales/Ops, to Alfredo and the packing and loading teams teams who were laser focused on detail and doing a careful job, and the truly wonderful California unloading team led by Antonio. These folks really care about their clients and their business. Go local with Truckin' - you can't do better.
I hired Truckin Movers because they were a small local owned business and they did not disappoint. I inherited some vintage furniture that was very sentimental and valuable and needed movers from NY to NC. Not only was their quote excellent, but their service was even more amazing. The sales team was very responsive as I had to move everything quickly and the crew took excellent care of my furniture. I highly recommend them and they will be my first call if I ever need anything moved locally or cross country.
I have finally recovered from moving my family across country. The easiest part was the actual moving because of Truckin' Movers. From the beginning of the process to the end, I was impressed and delighted at their professionalism and their systems! They have learned all the lessons and know exactly how to making packing and moving as stress free as possible. They moved my 4 person sauna and my SUV as well! Terrific communication the entire time and incredible, kind, well priced service!
We recently worked with Truckin Movers for the 4th time. In each move, we have been very impressed with their professionalism and genuine care for their customers. Our latest move was a very short notice move of my mother from one assisted living facility 250 miles away to another near home. Brad organized the move quickly and Chris W. and Johntez made sure that my mother's furniture was safely moved and set up before dinner time. The culture at Truckin Movers is not just about moving items, but about taking care of their customers. I definitely recommend them and will continue to work with them on any future moves.
I have personally not moved but I referred some friends to Truckin' Movers for when they moved and they couldn't thank me enough for connecting them with Doug, Jeff and the crew at TMC! They were so stressed about moving from NC to NY and homes weren't ready and TMC stored everything for them until they were ready to have it all brought into their new home! I will always recommend to anyone who is moving to go with Truckin'! They are the best for storage and moving and from the beginning of the process to the end!
Thank you so much to Jeff Philips and the rest of team at Truckin' Movers for making me look good, not once, but twice.
The first time I referred them, a client of mine who owns a lawfirm was moving across town to a new office. The team was very helpful to my client and his entire staff. They did some of the packing and helped to move a lot of big cabinets, computers, desks and all the other things that come when an office moves to a new location.
The second time, which is really the more important of the two, was when T.M moved my mother-in-law. The team was very respectful to her and my wife. They went above and beyond the call of duty during the move, which made me look good in the eyes of my mother in law.
There is no doubt, Truckin' Movers will be the one and only moving company to get all my referrals in the future!

Doug and his team were tremendous in assisting my sister-in-law with a move from New York. Every aspect from pricing to packing to the move was handled with great care and communication. We really could not have asked for a better moving experience that what Truckin' Movers provided. I'm a fan.
What a wonderful experience we had from start to finish! Brad was great at explaining the process and easy to work with. Our move was within the same town on a very hot day. The moving team, Chris L, Cesar, Xavier, and Jonathon were professional, courteous, quick, thorough and patient. They were careful of all of our items. Would 100% recommend this company to anyone looking for movers!
We used Truckin' Movers for our move from Durham, NC to Louisville, KY. Brad was great to work with from the beginning. We had a really bad experience with a moving company previously, so we had a lot of questions and concerns. Brad was incredibly patient with our many questions and always kind in his responses. He explained things clearly and was very reassuring and calm throughout the whole process. We had his team take a load to short term storage so we could have room to paint our house before the full move, and this all went very smoothly. When it was time for our final move, the movers were so professional and efficient. They loaded up our entire house in much less time than we anticipated and were very careful with how they treated our belongings. When I would tell people about our scheduled delivery date, they'd mostly respond with "I hope it comes then!", but Truckin' Movers means what they say when it comes to delivery times, and they arrived at our new home right on schedule. Our new house had a few surprises for us with tight corners that made moving some of our furniture tricky, but the guys handled it like total pros by getting creative with their approach to moving items in and clearly communicating with us when there were a few items that just weren't going to fit in the tight staircase to the second level. It was just plain physics that kept those items from fitting, not their lack of trying! We were highly satisfied with Truckin' Movers and would recommend them to anyone without reservation.
From the start, Truckin’ Movers were easy to work with. Jen was personable and efficient, Brad explained all the services and how we could make the move happen more smoothly. Terry and his crew masterfully and quickly loaded our things into the van. They packed paintings and lamps safely for us. Terry and Chris helped us resolve an issue at the storage unit and then worked hard and well together to get everything into storage. They all made what could have been a stressful situation a positive experience.The service was excellent.
My experience with Truckin Movers was amazing for my move from North Carolina to Texas. From my initial consult and further communications with Brad, to the actual move itself with Alfredo, Terry, and Carlos, no stone was left unturned. Brad was there for any questions or advice I needed, and the three movers took amazing care of our belongings. Would highly recommend!
The team of movers coordinating a long distance move from Durham, N.C. to Maryland were extremely efficient, congenial, and respectful of our spaces and furniture. They were quick!
The move-out involving two sets of stairs was very well-managed. The move-in requiring unloading at a loading dock and using an elevator was, similarly, quick and efficient. All the boxes were properly located in the designated rooms and positioned to allow walking spaces.
The movers are on-time at all points. They understand the stress of moving and evince a supportive role. We love these guys!

I had a great experience with Truckin’ Movers. The entire team -- sales, office, and movers -- was professional, courteous, and responsive. Brad was super detail-oriented during the planning phase and very flexible at the last minute, since I added on a large item the day of the pick-up. The moving team was excellent. They were on time, dependable and very courteous. I had several large, fragile items that were delivered in perfect condition. They were very careful in moving the furniture and very responsive upon arrival to my requests to shift larger items into different positions. Best move ever. I would definitely use them again!
We had a somewhat complicated local move -- sold a large house as we were just starting to build a new house (living in temporary quarters in the meantime). I wasn't quite sure how all that was going to work -- but Truckin' Movers made it so easy and pleasant. Everything was picked up and put into containers that were then safely stored for over a year in their climate controlled facilities before arriving and getting unloaded at our new home. One wishes everything could go that smoothly -- from Jeff coordinating it all to the moving crews that handled everything with great care and professionalism.
Great experience with Truckin’ Movers!! They were on time, dependable and very courteous. Would definitely use them again!
A really great outfit. They were super detail oriented when planning and the moving team was excellent. Wrapped everything. Very attentive and careful. They worked quickly and carefully. I’m so grateful and impressed!! Would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone
I can't begin to convey my satisfaction with Truckin' Movers! Between my wife, myself and my mother, our move with Truckin' was our fifth long-distance event since 2019 (Thanks, Pandemic!!!). It was by far our best. From Brad's logistical coordination to Terry's hands-on work (He was soooo sweet to my mom) to conversing with Doug, I wasn't working with a "crew," but people that seemed to care. Truckin' is the way to go - these cats are the best!
Wonderful experience. Brad, Chris, and Ki were whom I dealt with for my move and they were professional, kind, and very careful with my belongings. I would highly recommend this crew and this company, for your next move.
This review is for a residential move within the same city. Beginning with the in-person estimate visit, Jeff was very easy to talk to and very professional. He went into detail about all items to be packed and provided a detailed quote following the visit.
I was initially a bit disappointed on move day since there were less crew members than originally planned, but I am very grateful that Jeff and others at the office jumped in right away to make it right. I ended up having an extra crew member so that the overall move happened within the estimated timeframe (it ended up being a little less time than originally anticipated).
From the beginning of the day till the end of the move, the crew worked diligently and carefully. None of our belongings were damaged. The crew was very respectful at all times. I would definitely recommend and use Truckin' Movers again.

WOW! a move is stressful and daunting, especially a cross country move. Truckin' Movers totally eased our minds and made the experience a real soft landing. Our move was complex in being cross country, and we don't exactly travel light, lots of books, outdoor goods, shop items, crystal - you name it, we have it. We utilized Truckin' Movers for pack services in CA, cross country transit, storage, and unpack in Durham, NC. Truckin' navigated on all points with professionalism, excellence, insight and humor. The sub-contracted N CA team was very connected to Doug and his team in Durham, the guys were awesome, skilled, hardworking, friendly, helpful. All our goods arrived. Breakage happens, even in the best circumstances, but I've yet to find so much as a broken dish. Incredible care was taken with our possessions and that is priceless. The team in Durham was wonderfully tolerant of a not quite finished house on the Durham side, coordinating with painters and sub-contractors with grace and humor. James and the Durham team were incredibly accommodating and helpful in placing our possessions in the right places and they moved with such coordination and skill. I hope we're landed and never move again, but if we do, it will absolutely be with Doug and his team at Truckin' Movers. We recommend them absolutely to see you home!
Fast and professional, from the office staff to the boots on the ground, everything was very well done. I'm a fan!
The entire team at Truckin' Movers are absolutely outstanding. It was a truly 1-stop solution for my international move.
Brad was highly responsive, thoroughly exploring all options for optimizing cost, transit times, packing, customs clearance, destination coordination etc.. His transparency, patience and friendly demeanor throughout the process was invaluable.
The team also handled pre-sorting, packing, inventory, and rubbish disposal independently. Special thanks to Terry for managing the onsite work, meticulous packing and providing timely updates.
Their professionalism, integrity, and ease of doing business attitude make them trustworthy, and I felt completely confident entrusting them with my belongings. Thank you!

The team at Truckin Movers made our office move as smooth as can be. We had a small commercial relocation and their team was able to knock it our in only a few hours. Doug, our project manager, was helpful at every step of the way. He made the process clear and easy to understand. The moving team was swift and professional. Would recommend working with Truckin Movers for a commercial relocation
I recently moved from Burlington to Durham and used Truckin' Movers. The lead mover, Alfredo, was friendly, helpful, and courteous. He and his team did a wonderful job. Everything arrived in great shape too! I will use them again when the opportunity arises! I highly recommend this company!
Update: I again used Truckin' Movers and had another great experience. They'll prepare you for the move to ensure all your belongings are ready so they arrive safely. They show up on-time and ready to roll. I'll never use another moving company!

Everyone was terrific. Brad was responsive, James, Chris and Terry were -early- which when you are tying up an elevator and a loading dock really help. I highly recommend the company.
We moved from Hillsborough NC to Seneca SC. Brad gave us a number of options to accommodate our specific needs and was able to make adjustments as we got closer to the actual move. The load and unloading teams were careful handling the items and moving through the homes. They kept us informed every step of the way and kept to the schedule. What a pleasure doing business with Truckin' Movers
This is my third move with Truckin. Doug helped make sure our Murphy Bed was perfecto. Highly recommend
I can't recommend Truckin' Movers highly enough! We recently moved from Houston to Durham, and the entire experience was exceptional.
Chris was a fantastic resource, helping us with packing and loading at our old home, and then ensuring everything went smoothly during the unloading at our new place. His attention to detail and positive attitude made the process so much easier.
Brad, our main office contact, was equally impressive. He provided accurate, responsive, and detailed information throughout the move, setting clear expectations and answering all our questions promptly. Thanks to their professionalism and teamwork, our move went off without a hitch.
If you're looking for a reliable moving company, look no further than Truckin' Movers. They made what could have been a stressful experience incredibly smooth and hassle-free. Five stars all the way!

2 years ago we hired truckin' movers as we planned to move down to the coast. The moving guys were excellent, friendly, helpful, very conscientious about our furniture and breakables and we felt very confident with their work. They put everything into storage while we tried to find a new house. We couldn't find anything close to the quality of our existing home, therefore we had the movers bring everything back to our house and we moved back in! My good friend, Jeff Philips was so impressed by the company, he decided to go work for them! I would definitely recommend giving Jeff a call if you are looking for a quality moving company.
I had two very large whole building compressors that I needed removed. Each was over 2000 pounds and there was minimal height clearance for removal. It took a crew of 4 people to get the machines out. They did a great a great job and were sure to not damage the ceiling. I was happy with the level of communication and service we received. I would definitely recommend.
We moved from Chapel Hill to Boston and had a wonderful, seamless experience. I heard of so many horror stories of moving companies especially with interstate moves. But when we met Brad for our walk-through/quote, our concerns were put at rest. He was detailed, honest, and it was evident that he had a lot of experience. Overall, everyone in the company was responsive and easy to work with. Our moving team leader was James who was great to work with. He and his team helped us pack our "breakables" even in the midst of a tropical storm. Overall, the team was efficient, hard-working, and happy. They loaded everything on a Friday and arrived the following Tuesday. (They do not work on the weekends fyi.) To our knowledge, nothing was broken! Moving is so hard, but they made it as seamless as possible. We would highly recommend them!
I knew I was in great hands from the start thanks to excellent orientation and followup with Brad. He worked with us through several iterations of the move list, and provided excellent insight into the process.
The moving team itself was equally phenomenal - everything was wrapped in blankets, taped to keep in place, and carefully secured on the trucks.
Everything was placed perfectly in place in the new home, including washer/dryer hookups. Further complicating the move - an extensive set of tools, and garage cabinets. All was moved without a single incident.
Great team, great execution.

How do you charge for a North Carolina Long Distance (NCLD) move?
NCLD moves are regulated by the North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC). The move is an NCLD when the origin and destination are both in North Carolina and they are more than 35 miles apart. NCLD moves must be charged based on shipment weight and distance traveled.
How do you cover moving damage?
Our movers are very experienced, well trained and very careful – so we keep damages to a minimum. However, damages can occur. The North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC) regulates how damages must be covered on local and NCLD moves (see types of moves above). The NCUC says we must offer two levels of coverage called minimum value and replacement value. The first level is offered on all moves at no additional charge. To increase the coverage to replacement value, we are required to charge the NCUC tariff rate . Click on this link to see the details of this coverage and the rates for each.
How large is the truck?
- We have three sizes of trucks in our fleet, 16’ box trucks, 26’ box trucks, and tractor trailers.
- The 26’ box trucks are the largest trucks you can get with just two axles. They are like the largest sized U-haul truck, only a little longer and taller.
We have semi trailers that vary in length from 24’ to 53’.
Do you have any minimum charges?
- Minimum charges for local moves vary from 3-4 hours depending on the time of the year.
- The minimum for NCLD moves depends on the distance traveled, and the level of service provided, like exclusive use of a vehicle with exact moving dates.
