A real mover answers, not a phone tree

Dial the yard and Wade picks up, or one of the crew who spent the day on a truck does — no menu, no distant call center working off a script. Walk us through wherever the move turns tricky — a freight elevator and a building COI at a downtown Anchorage high-rise, a third-floor walk-up off Muldoon, a JBER base gate pass, an iced-over Hillside driveway — and we have the whole day planned before your date lands.

The price is set in writing before we lift a thing

We count it room by room, fold the wardrobe boxes, pads, dollies and shrink-wrap into one figure, and hand it to you on paper first — so the number the crew bills on move day is the number you already signed off on. Nothing tacked on at the curb, nothing routed through a broker.

Box the whole place, or only what breaks

Turn the kitchen over to our packers for dish barrels, let the closets ride across still on their hangers in wardrobe cartons, or just flag the mirrors, TVs and glass tops so we cut a fitted crate for each one before it goes on the truck. How much we pack is your call, start to finish.

One crew, from your old door to your new one

The crew chief who walks your rooms at the estimate is the same one at the wheel and doing the last walk-through with you — a Spenard bungalow, an Eagle River cabin, a downtown condo looking out over Cook Inlet — so the job never gets handed off partway through.

On JBER nearly every job is a PCS, so the paperwork counts as much as the lift — gate passes, base access and certified HHG weight tickets. Dale runs the base moves and Marissa clears the access list with housing ahead of time, so the crew rolls through the gate instead of waiting.

  • Two-mover crew and truck at $169/hr, a third mover $239/hr, one-hour minimum
  • Certified weight tickets pulled for your HHG paperwork
  • Base access and gate passes squared with housing before the date

“Emanuel and his crew did a fantastic job with our move. Everyone was super friendly and made it an enjoyable time. We have had things damaged in the past with other crews, and I have to say this has been the best so far. Nothing was broken which is hard to do. Highly recommend!”

Moving to JBER — common questions

We're PCSing off JBER and need certified weight tickets — can you provide those?
Yes. The truck stops at a certified scale on the run and Dale pulls the weight tickets for your HHG claim, so the documentation is in hand for the move.
The base needs our movers cleared for gate access before the date — who arranges that?
Marissa does. She files the access list and any base paperwork with the housing office ahead of time, so the crew is cleared and rolls straight through the gate on move day.
Can you do a personally-procured move, or do we have to use the government mover?
We handle personally-procured (PPM) moves and give you the certified weight tickets and receipts you need to file. Dale walks you through what the finance office will want.
The same Anchorage crew stays on your move the whole way — from the first carton onto the truck to the last piece carried in and set down

How Move Day Actually Runs

  1. 1

    A price in writing, usually the same day

    Our part: Tell us the room count, whether it is a straight carry to the truck or a haul through a downtown elevator, and how the driveway, gate or base entrance is laid out — and a written figure is generally in your inbox before the office shuts for the evening.

    Your part: Pin down your two hard dates — the move-out and the move-in — along with any building, garage, or JBER gate codes; those are what let us swap a rough guess for a locked figure.

  2. 2

    Access nailed down before the truck rolls

    Our part: We hold the freight elevator at a downtown high-rise, sort out driveway and street parking, file whatever certificate of insurance the HOA or building office asks for, and clear base passes and Hillside gate codes ahead of time — so the truck reaches the door instead of the crew hauling a dresser across a lot.

    Your part: Let us know your last day in the old place and your first day in the new one, then flag whichever of those dates is truly fixed.

  3. 3

    Wrapped, padded, tagged, then onto the truck

    Our part: Couches and dressers disappear under moving blankets and a wrap of stretch film, and any hardware that comes off a bed frame or table gets bagged and taped right to the piece it belongs to — so nothing walks off between homes.

    Your part: Write the destination room on the boxes you pack yourself, and keep the keys, the paperwork and anything small and valuable with you in the car, never on the load.

  4. 4

    Brought in and set down where it goes

    Our part: The same team that packed the truck is the one emptying it — every item set down right where you point, bed frames reassembled, and all the leftover blankets and tape cleared out on our way.

    Your part: Before the truck pulls off, do a final pass through the emptied rooms alongside the lead mover, so any small fix can still happen while we’re there.

What’s a Anchorage move likely to run?

Tell us the size of the place, the date you’re targeting, and roughly what’s coming with you, and a written estimate comes back the same day. You owe nothing up front and we hold no deposit — just a number dependable enough to lock in every piece of the move.

  • Licensed, bonded and insured on every job — we run under our own US DOT and MC authority whether it’s a hop across the Anchorage Bowl or a haul to the lower 48
  • Whatever number you sign off on is the number the crew charges — tallied room by room, not eyeballed from the driveway
  • The whole crew is uniformed, kept on this company’s W-2 books, and behind the wheel of trucks we own ourselves
