Jacory and Clarence did a great job!
They were on time, polite and moved my furniture to make room for rug. They explained paperwork and answered any questions I had. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to others.Positive Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

I called the team a couple of weeks ago requesting an unexpected move for my college daughter.
They were very accommodating with scheduling. They came on time, worked fast, and were very kind/caring. A college kid’s things are not considered collector’s items 😊, but the team carefully moved everything as if they were antiques. I appreciate how they informed me of every next step and activity. I know that she will probably move again and I will definitely use Motivated Movers.

Trey and Trey were great.
Professional and personable. Scheduling was easy. We asked them to move a bed, bookcase, two desks (and computer chairs), a couch, love seat, and a bike. They were quick and efficient. I would absolutely recommend the service.

We had a great moving experience with Motivated Movers.
Jeremy and Trey were excellent hard workers, conscientious, friendly, knowledgeable, caring, problem solving, and very nice. We had so many items to move, including a piano and my Granny’s antique bed and dresser. An all day job. We are so glad we chose this company for the job, and the price was right. We highly recommend them. Larry & Robin Bonner

When they say motivated, they mean that!
I called several moving companies for quotes months before my move. Motivated Movers was the only one to call me back and check in to see if I still might want to book with them. How could I say no to that! On the day of the move, they arrived early and ready. They disassembled my table, bed, and unhooked my washer and dryer. I know they're professionals, ans they packed that truck like the professionals they are! I highly recommend Motivated Movers. They gone get the job done.

Marcus and Clay from Motivated Movers were easily the best movers we’ve ever had (and I’ve moved quite a few times).
We were absolutely amazed at how quickly yet carefully they packed up the apartment — around an hour for a large, furniture-filled one bedroom. Then they drove the truck all the way to Florida in a very timely manner, and they were just as wonderful when unloading there. From beginning to end, they were friendly, efficient, and professional. I’d give them a 12/10 any day and recommend them to absolutely anyone.

Great job by my team that moved me.
The team captain Jakory estimated almost to the minute of the time I would need to do the job. His estimate was spot on. The guys, Kylar, Jamal, Clarence, Landon, and KJ were all the most hard working positive men I have ever worked with. The conditions were not the best to say the least. The heat and walking up and down a hill to load the truck was brutal. No one ever complained. I would highly recommend this company and this team. Great job guys. Job well done.

Common Questions & Moving Tips
Never hired a moving company before? Need help with your first move? Check out the questions below to learn more about how we move you forward.
What do I need to know if I’ve never hired a moving company before?
If you’ve never hired a moving company before, here are some important things to keep in mind:
- Start early: Start the process at least a month in advance to secure availability for your preferred moving date, especially during peak seasons.
- Know what’s being moved: Decide ahead of time what the movers will handle and what you plan to move yourself. This helps your estimator provide the most accurate quote possible.
- Be realistic about packing: Will you truly be able to pack everything on your own? If not, ask us about our professional packing services and request a packing quote in advance.
- Plan for restricted items: Our movers are not able to transport certain items, like hazardous materials. Make sure you make a plan for those items.
- Review coverage options: Make sure you understand your coverage options and check your homeowners insurance to see what might already be covered.
- Don’t base your decision on price alone: In the moving industry, you often get what you pay for. Choosing a reputable and licensed company can save you stress, damage, and unexpected costs in the long run.
Check out our moving tips for a more detailed timeline on the moving process.
What factors affect the cost of a move?
There are a lot of factors that can affect the cost of a move, including the size of the move, how well-prepared you are on the day of the move, and whether you use the company's packing services. Using inappropriate packing materials or containers can also make the move less efficient and potentially more costly. While not exhaustive, the list below includes common factors that affect the cost of a move:
- Number of rooms/bedrooms
- Volume of belongings
- Whether packing services are used
- Distance between locations
- Weather conditions on moving day
- Traffic conditions between locations
- Accessibility of both properties, such as stairs or elevators
- Size and weight of individual items, such as furniture or appliances
- Complexity of disassembling or reassembling furniture
- Level of organization and readiness before the move begins
Looking to reduce the cost of your move? Ask your estimator what they recommend for a move that is efficient, safe, and organized.
What measures do you take to protect my home and belongings during the move?
During the moving process, your belongings are safeguarded with the utmost care and protection. Motivated Movers ensures the safety of your furniture by using stretch wrap and professional moving pads to prevent any damage. Everything is securely packed in the truck to guarantee safe transportation. Our standard valuation for items is .60 cents per pound, with the option to purchase additional protection plans for added peace of mind. In the rare event of any damage during the move, our dedicated customer service team is ready to assist you in opening a claim for a quick resolution. We also make sure our movers receive thorough training, so our crew knows how to complete a safe and careful move.
How do you handle unexpected issues or delays on moving day?
We try to take necessary precautions to prevent any issues or delays. However, it’s always a team effort between our crew and management to come up with a solution that works best for the customer.
