Onward — Local and long-distance movers with flat quotes

What we move

Three trucks. Four ways to use them.

Every job gets the same kit, the same crews, and the same locked price.

Local moves

A day, a truck, a crew of three. We wrap, load, drive, and set every piece where you point. Beds reassembled before we pull away.

Truck, fuel, blankets, wrap, assembly included

Long-distance

The crew that loads your truck is the crew that opens it, at 90 miles or 900. No freight terminals, no handoffs, a real arrival date.

One crew door to door, date in writing

Packing service

We arrive the day before with boxes, paper, and a system. Kitchen-only or whole-house. Everything labeled by room, glasses double-wrapped.

Materials priced in the same flat quote

Month-to-month storage

Between homes? Your things ride blanket-wrapped to our warehouse, onto padded vaults, inventoried with photos. One flat rate per vault, no auto-renewal games.

Climate-controlled, first month prorated

How the quote works

The quote is the invoice.

Most movers estimate by the hour and settle up at the curb. We price the whole job before we touch a box, and the number holds.

A 15-minute video walkthrough

Point your phone at every room, closet, and garage corner on a video call, or record and send it. No stranger in your house, no half-day appointment.

An itemized flat quote in 24 hours

Every line spelled out: crew size, box count, the stairs, the piano, the walkup. What you're paying for, and what you could leave out.

The price is locked

If the job runs long, that's our problem, not your bill. The number on the quote is the number on the invoice.

What shows up with the truck.

96 quilted blankets per truck. Every wood surface rides wrapped.
Four-wheel and appliance dollies rated for the fridge, the safe, the upright piano.
Floor runners rolled out over every path we walk, hardwood and carpet alike.
Door-jamb guards on every doorway furniture passes. Banisters get blanketed first.

Mark a wall, scratch a floor, we fix it that week, on us, no chasing. Twelve years in, that promise has cost us $2,140.

The crew

Nobody on your job was hired this morning.

Every mover here is an Onward employee: W-2, background-checked, trained on our trucks before they lift yours. Average tenure is four years, and your crew lead is one of three foremen who've been here since the first truck.

Tips are never expected. Whatever you give goes to the crew that earned it, split evenly, shown on your receipt.

Employed, not day labor Background-checked Tipped fairly

After the move

Word travels.

"The quote said $1,840. The invoice said $1,840. The rain added an hour and nobody said a word about it."

Dana · Three-bed local move

"The same four guys who loaded in Millbrook carried my grandmother's hutch in 612 miles later. Not a mark on it, or the door frames."

Priya · Long-distance move

"They wrapped a $40 bookshelf like it cost four thousand. The banister was in a blanket before anyone carried a thing."

Tom · One-bed move plus storage
