This is why DP Moving and Storage Is Better Than the Big Names in the Moving Industry
Share
When it comes to moving, the last thing you want is to be misled, delayed, or feel like just another number. At DP Moving & Storage, we’ve built our reputation by doing the exact opposite of what the big-name moving companies do. While competitors like Allied, North American Van Lines, Mayflower, United Van Lines, Atlas, Bekins, Greek Moving, All My Sons, Two Men and a Truck, College Hunks Hauling Junk, JK Moving, Colonial Van Lines, and Wheaton Worldwide may have national recognition, that doesn’t mean they offer better service. In fact, we’d argue the opposite.
Here’s why:
1. Dedicated Moves—Not Shared Trucks
When you book a move with DP Moving & Storage, you get a dedicated truck, dedicated team, and a dedicated timeline. We’re not stacking your belongings with another family’s items. We don’t make five stops along the East Coast before getting to your new home. Our competition does.
Companies like Mayflower, United Van Lines, and Atlas are notorious for combining multiple customers’ shipments into one trailer, creating delays, confusion, and in many cases, lost or damaged items. They’ll give you a delivery window of 2–3 weeks, then call it “on time” if they show up on the last day of the range. That’s not good enough for us—and it shouldn’t be good enough for you.
2. Honest Timelines—No Empty Promises
We won’t promise you something we can’t deliver. Unlike other companies that provide bait-and-switch estimates and then blame delays on "logistics" or "unexpected volume," we operate with complete transparency. When we tell you your move will arrive on Thursday at 10 a.m., we mean it. We don’t subcontract your move, and we don’t hand off your belongings to unknown third-party carriers.
3. No Third-Party Subcontractors—Ever
With DP Moving & Storage, your entire move is handled by our team. Period. Many of the national brands, including Colonial Van Lines and JK Moving, outsource key parts of your move to the lowest bidder. That means strangers—often with no connection to the brand you hired—will be touching everything you own.
We believe your trust shouldn’t be handed off. Our team is trained, experienced, and vetted to ensure every move is handled professionally and respectfully.
4. We Don’t Play the Corporate Shuffle
Larger brands have layers of management, call centers, and red tape that slow down the process and complicate communication. When you call DP Moving & Storage, you speak to a real human who knows your move inside and out—not someone reading off a script from a call center across the country.
5. We're Local—But We Go National
Just because we’re based in Florida doesn’t mean we only do local moves. We offer dedicated long-distance moves to all 48 states—with the same level of personalized service. Our competition moves freight; we move families.
6. Better Service, Better Care, Better Results
Our competitors spend millions on national advertising. We spend our time earning five-star reviews one move at a time. Our trucks are clean, our movers are professional, and we treat your belongings like our own.
Don’t Settle for Less—Move with the Best
If you want to be one of five shipments stacked in a trailer, given vague delivery timelines, and passed from contractor to contractor, go ahead and call one of the national brands.
But if you want a trusted partner who will treat your move like it's the only one on the schedule, call DP Moving & Storage. We’re not the biggest—but we are the best.
Dedicated Moves. Honest Timelines. No Surprises.
That’s the DP Difference.
