What Albany says after the truck leaves
★★★★★ 4.9 average from 212 Google reviews since 2014.
"Called on a Monday, moved on Thursday. Three guys, a three bedroom in Westover and a gun safe I was dreading. Quote said 5 to 6 hours, it took 5 and a quarter. Not one scratch on the hardwood."
"Moved my mother out of her apartment on Dawson Road. They were patient, put her bed back together and hung her curtains without being asked."
"Labor only into a pod. Two hours flat, packed it like Tetris. Fair price and they texted when they were 20 minutes out."
Terrence still carries the first box
I started Riverbend in 2014 with a borrowed box truck and my cousin Andre. Before that I spent six years on crews for a big van line, long enough to learn what customers hate: surprise fees, late trucks and people who don't answer the phone.
We are six people now with two trucks, and I am on most jobs. Every mover is on payroll, background checked and trained on our trucks before they lead a move. We don't hand your move to a subcontractor.

Questions people ask first
Is there a minimum?
Two hours on every job. Most studio and one bedroom moves finish in two to three hours with two movers.
Do you charge for travel time?
No running clock for driving to you. Inside Albany it is a flat $59. Outside town it's the flat fee from the area table, quoted before you book.
Do you need a deposit?
Not for local moves. We take a card or check at the end of the job. For moves over 60 miles we ask for $100 to hold the date.
What won't you move?
Propane tanks, gasoline, paint thinner, ammunition and live plants on long hot days. Gun safes up to 900 lb are fine with notice.
Are my things insured?
Basic coverage at 60 cents per pound is included, as Georgia requires. Full value protection is available for $9 per $1,000 of declared value.
Can you move me tomorrow?
Often, yes, for smaller moves. Call rather than fill in the form, since the phone is faster for next-day dates.
