Why Local Moves Deserve Professional Help
A “local move” typically means a relocation within 50 miles, but that doesn’t make it easy. From logistics to lifting, a short-distance move still requires careful planning and the right team.
At College HUNKS, we’ve spent over 20 years helping families, renters, and businesses move locally with confidence. With nearly 200 locations nationwide, we bring local expertise and reliable service right to your neighborhood.

Avoiding Moving Scams and Choosing Reputable Movers
Unfortunately, not every moving company plays by the rules. Here’s how to protect yourself and ensure you’re working with a trusted mover.
How to Vet Local Movers:
Verify licensing and insurance through the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration).
Read authentic reviews on Google, Yelp, Trust Pilot, the Better Business Bureau, and other review sites.

Note what made your experience positive or stress-free.
Our HUNKS take pride in earning five-star feedback through professionalism, friendliness, and hard work.
What Makes a Move “Short Distance”?
Most local moves are within 50 miles and completed the same day. That includes moves between homes, apartments, or nearby office spaces.
But even short-distance relocations benefit from professional coordination, especially when stairs, tight spaces, or multiple stops are involved.
Our local moving crews know the routes, parking rules, and logistics unique to your area so your move stays efficient from start to finish.
Why Local Movers Are Worth It
Hiring local professionals saves time, stress, and risk. You’ll get:
Trained movers who handle items safely
Proper equipment for heavy or fragile objects
Insured service for added peace of mind
Time savings from expert efficiency
The result? A smoother move and a better start in your new space.
