Ben The Mover Guy
Ben The Mover Guy LLC is a Philadelphia moving company that Ben started as an LLC in April 2017, backed by more than eight years of his own industry experience and a carefully selected team of industry veterans. The crew handles residential and office moves, packing and unpacking, furniture pickup and delivery, loading and unloading of storage units and pods, dump runs, and long distance moves out of the Philadelphia area, from a single item up to a five bedroom house. A fleet of five trucks plus a sprinter van named Xena covers everything from the narrower streets of South Philly, North Philly and Center City to full household relocations, and labor only service is available when a vehicle is not needed. Most local jobs, meaning anything within 150 miles of South Philly, are billed at a time based rate with a two hour minimum and a flat travel fee that covers the commute to and from the job. Ben The Mover Guy LLC is fully licensed and insured for local and interstate transportation of goods under PUC #A-8925253 and DOT #2857354, and every client selects a level of valuation coverage in writing before the move begins.
