In this video I go over step by step instructions on how to start a moving company. Then I continue on to talk about how to run a successful moving business and how to grow your moving company.
- Should you start a moving company? Should I start a moving company? -
The answer is yes, starting a moving company with the right knowledge can be very profitable. Moving companies can make a lot of money annually if they are maintained correctly.
Running a successful moving service may be blood sweat and tears in the beginning, but the end product is a profitable moving business that can help create the life you always dreamed about.
My moving company Boston Small Moves started off as a man and a van operation, then transitioned into apartment moving and now we actually rebranded to Limitless Moving & Storage, LLC. And we are currently moving big houses and corporations.
It all takes time to develop your moving business and scale it to the point that you are making substantial profits. Do not give up and the first falter.
Moving start ups can be difficult if you do not have the right employees so it is imperative that you hire the correct workers that you can depend on. Pay them well and moving tips will also be a huge incentive for that worker to stay longer as they can easily double their weeks pay being the only employee.
Don't let people take advantage of you. Initially, you may want to lower your rates or give into a pushy customer's demands, but eventually you will learn as a business owner that you are the one who calls the shots. Not in a mean way, but in the sense that you run your ship and if they do not want to sail with you then they can find another boat.
Hope this helps to all you aspiring moving business owners! Hit me up on instagram for any free advice!

I love the moving business. I owe a lot to the community. It's not hard to start a successful million dollar company. What's hard is to keep it going.
So crazy to see you commenting on my video Jay! I watched many of your videos in my first few years and learned so much from your channel. No slowing down here!
It’s true, preach my friend. I started my business 10 months ago now I own two 26ft trucks I have all the equipment and more. Anything is possible if you believe in yourself and if you put in the work.
Glad to hear that keep grinding!
Did you lease your trucks?
Mid March I'm starting my own moving business i thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience brother!
Keep it up! This business grows more and more as the year go on. Going on my 17year in los Angeles , ! too much to handle . Nothing but word of mouth due to great service and friendliness and fair rates. Thats the key !
Word the mouth is still huge! If not the best way to acquire new customers IMO
My husband mentioned starting a company so I googled how to start and clicked yours first. This was so motivating and honest. And the other comments back you up! Can’t wait to see where we are in a year. Wishing you lots more success
This is dope, been running my own Moving Company and it surely a great vehicle for financial success!
Glad I googled and found your video. It’s very helpful/motivating and all of thee above. I am going to listen to this again as soon as I jump in my truck. Replay all day. Thx for sharing again.
Great info! Thanks for the video.
Awesome video !! Congratulations have no doubt I will see your company growing by leaps in bounds. Thank you for sharing.
thank you, i am planning on starting one , got an old working lorry lying in the compound
Enjoyed this a bunch, thank you. Any advice on how to find employees that aren’t shit bags? No slang, dressed professionally, obviously no stealing etc
great video definitely some motivation right here
💪

Glad! Check out my first episode of my new series that will go over all the steps from start to finish
Great value content, thanks amigo from Toronto

First time viewer.
Hey man, do you by any chance have any references down the philly way?!? I feel like I'm watching a video of myself lol. I'm 30 and been in the furniture delivery biz for quite some time now and really trying to get my own started as well. Thank you for all the great REAL info man! Get.It.
I do not have any in that area, but you can always start, you don’t need anyone to help you in! Check out my newest video on how I began getting so many leads over the years
You are a badass bro
Yeah you have to give the business card to every buildings not the property building. Give to each company that’s they rental in building
They having move every months
Just question how to get ur loads is there's load board for moving??
Where do I get moving insurance?
Great Video More advice would be great , How do you secure Contracts for a job?
Honestly most of my big deals have come from in person networking over the years
Just started my moving company at 19. Still in college. Worked for someone else last summer but this summer I’m gonna build my own business.
Congrats man, get it and don’t stop hustling
Hey I am in your same position. And I am looking start and have not started yet. Any advice ?
What insurances do I need To legitimately do moving jobs I have basic General Liability insurance and use lease/ rental trucks as of now .What other insurances would I need??
Can you tell me a little more about these corporations hiring for labor? What exactly are you doing inside all day? What do you do to get leads?
Once you’re in the business long enough you will acquire big businesses as clients that need to shift around furniture continuously. As for what I do day today, I can make a separate video about that as this is a good topic. Lead generation is also one I should make a separate video about as it’s a long list. Stay tuned Nick!
Hey man can you tell me tips on how to get more jobs more leads? Besides old craiglist
Check out the video I just posted!
Great Video, Looking for affordable Insurance for movers at the moment. Not sure where to start.
I can help, message me on instagram if you are still looking!
What license do you need to start one? I know you need insurance ofcourse but not sure on what kind of license besides a drivers one.
You need a D.O.T license for your truck, obviously a license to drive the truck whether that be for air brakes or just hydronic. If you’re planning on going across state you’re need a MC number I believe it’s called. You’ll need general liability insurance, carrier insurance for your customers goods. You may want comprehensive insurance for your truck depending on if it’s worth it (if you have a new or used truck)
And you need to register your business with the county
I just made a Craigslist ad 2 weeks ago and racked in 5500$ in total earnings off 2 jobs
Where are you at now? I’m thinking about starting doing this too
Bruh, Buddy reminds Me of *Dean Winchester.*
Hardest part about this advice is having a friend to offer a job.
Hey wats going on sir . I’m just now starting off with my company located in Rhode Island but I plan on doing moves in Massachusetts also . I’m starting out by renting from uhaul. Wat license an insurance do I need . Please help me through these steps I want to start off right
Hi there, I made a video on my channel talking just about that. You can find it through my playlists easier “How to start a successful moving company” series!
When you mention commercial jobs, what kind of work do you do for these businesses
Offices and other places that need anything moved and that market does exist!
I really like to start a moving company, but not sure where to park overnight the trucks, should I rent a place, buy.. any ideas?
Have to keep looking! How is the business going?
How much do you charge overall and how much do you pay each guy?
Great question.
Totally depends per state for rates. Call around local companies and see what they charge. Start cheaper in the beginning and as your earn your reputation start competing with the big guys.
I pay my employees $16-$20 per our in Boston, but it could also vary per location. When I first started I paid $12-$15 per hour.
Hey I'm trying to start a company, can you give insurance information
Step 1: Get a truck
Step2: Advertise
Step3: Rip people off in a way that would make lawyers and politicians seem honest by comparison
So is the BNI group something I should definitely be a part of, the $700 investment is definitely worth it?
I went to a meeting yesterday I felt like it could definitely help
Is your business a LLC. Are your guys that work for you w-2 or 1099?

My business is an LLC and we issue W-2s; however, we contract work to other companies sometimes and send out 1099s for those purposes
