Summer is always our busiest season, but 2025 has taken things to another level. To give you an idea of just how much moving we’ve been doing, here are some rough estimates of what our crews have handled so far this year:

• Nearly 20 million pounds of belongings moved — that’s about the weight of 3,000 elephants, or enough to fill the Mullins Center floor to ceiling several times over.
• Over 100,000 boxes carried — averaging around 80 per move. Stack them end to end, and you’d have a line of boxes stretching from Amherst to Boston.
• Tens of thousands of pieces of furniture — from sofas and dressers to dining tables and desks. If we lined up every dresser we’ve moved this year, it would stretch for miles.
• More than 140,000 miles driven — the equivalent of circling the Earth almost six times. That’s a lot of road time, and even more proof of how far we’ll go for our clients.

But the numbers only tell part of the story. Behind each mile, each box, and each pound lifted are families starting fresh, students moving in and out of the Five College area, retirees downsizing, and businesses opening new doors. That’s what keeps us motivated through the long days and hot summer moves.

And it’s not just about the work we’ve done — it’s about how we’ve done it. We’re proud to say we’ve racked up over 1,300 five-star reviews on Google, making us one of the top-rated moving companies in all of New England.
