What's Inside

7 phases from zero to booked

This isn't a vague "tips and tricks" PDF. It's a real launch roadmap with specific steps, real prices, and actual timelines.

1

Plan Your Operation

Week 1โ€“2

Decide on local vs. long-distance moves, residential vs. commercial, full-service vs. labor-only. Research your market, competitors, and set your first 90-day booking goal.

2

Get Licensed & Insured

Week 2โ€“4

USDOT number, MC authority (for interstate), state moving license, cargo insurance, general liability, and workersโ€™ comp. This takes time โ€” start it first.

3

Trucks & Equipment

Week 3โ€“5

Box truck options (buy vs. lease), furniture pads, dollies, straps, ramps, wardrobe boxes โ€” complete list with prices. Starter kit: ~$8,500 (not including truck).

4

Build Your Booking System

Week 4โ€“5

Estimate templates, binding vs. non-binding quotes, deposit policies, cancellation terms, and the booking software that keeps your calendar full without chaos.

5

Hire & Train Your Crew

Week 5โ€“7

Where to find reliable movers, what to pay, background checks, mover training checklist, and how to handle the inevitable no-show on moving day.

6

Get Found

Week 6โ€“8

Google Business Profile, Google Local Services Ads, partnerships with realtors and apartment complexes, and the review strategy that fills your calendar with word-of-mouth.

7

Grow & Systematize

Month 3โ€“6

Add packing services, storage partnerships, specialty moves (pianos, antiques), and second-truck expansion. Build the systems that run without you on every job.

Unlock Your Expansion Pack ๐ŸŽฎ

Most successful moving businesses add junk removal within their first year. Every move generates stuff people don't want to take โ€” offer to haul it away on the spot. Same truck, same crew, instant upsell. Your HomePro membership includes systems for both.
