How Our Loading Help Works
You handle the truck or container. We handle the heavy lifting.
Tell Us the Setup
Truck size or container type, where it’s parked, and how many rooms or storage units we’re loading.
We Show Up Equipped
We arrive in our company vehicle with dollies, pads and straps – no truck needed, since you’ve got the truck.
Pad and Wrap
Furniture gets wrapped in moving pads before it goes in, so wood never rubs on wood.
Load It Tight
Heavy pieces low and toward the front, tiers built wall to wall, each section strapped so nothing shifts.
Unload at the Other End
Book us at the destination too, and we carry everything in and place it room by room.
Loading and Strapping Done Right

What Customers Say About Our Crew
Real reviews from Google, word for word.
Alex and the team at Old Florida Moving were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They were professional, courteous, efficient, and incredibly communicative throughout the entire process. What really impressed me was the level of care they took with our furniture – and especially with our large rugs. They carefully measured everything, rotated the rugs, and placed each piece with incredible precision. Everything ended up exactly where it needed to be, and the attention to detail was exceptional. It’s rare to find movers who combine efficiency with this level of care and professionalism. Alex was wonderful to work with, and I would highly recommend Old Florida Moving to anyone looking for a moving company they can truly trust. Five stars without hesitation!
Very professional and hardworking moving company. I would highly recommend. They were on time and had a friendly positive attitude. Good price too.
We hired Alex and his crew at Old Florida Moving to move my grandmother from Gainesville to Crystal River, and they did an amazing job. My grandmother was especially worried about her antique vanity that means so much to her, but they handled it with incredible care and professionalism. Alex personally came out to the job with his crew, and you could tell they truly cared. Everything arrived safely, and the whole move was smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend Old Florida Moving!

A Well-Loaded Truck Rides Safely
When you rent your own truck, the load decides whether things arrive in one piece. Boxes tossed in on top of a loose couch will shift on the first turn. I build the load in tiers, wall to wall, with heavy pieces low and soft things filling the gaps.
Every piece of furniture gets a moving pad before it goes in, and each section is strapped as we go. It’s the same way I load our own 22-foot trailer on a full-service move.
One thing to know up front: we load it tight so it rides safely, but once your truck leaves, you’re the driver. If you’d like us to handle the driving too, we can quote a full move instead.
Using a portable container? Tell us where it sits and how far we’ll carry. Driveway, street or storage lot, we plan for it before we arrive.
That’s me, Alex, the owner. I answer the phone, I quote the job, and I’m on the crew the day we load you. Thirteen years in professional moving.
🚚 Reserve the Right Size Truck
A truck that’s too small means a second trip. If you’re unsure, tell us your home size and we’ll help you pick.
📦 Have Boxes Packed and Taped
Loading goes fastest when boxes are closed, taped and ready to stack.
🚗 Park Close to the Door
The shorter the walk from the door to the truck or container, the quicker the job goes.
🔑 Check Storage Hours and Codes
Know your storage facility’s gate code and access hours before we arrive.
