How Your "Buddy with a Truck" can help you move


We offer a friendlier, more cost-effective alternative to U-Haul, Penske, and "the Big Guys."


Who we are and what we do

Hi, I'm Chris. I'm your "Buddy with a Truck." You can read more about me on the About Us page, but in a nutshell, me and my "Truck Buddies" offer a friendly, convenient alternative to the way people move in the Washington, DC area. When people move, most of the time they move within just a few miles of where they are now. And for a lot of people, their requirements are extremely modest -- they don't need to hire a big, professional moving company. Like my name says, they just need a "buddy with a pickup truck." That's me!

MyTruckBuddy.com (MTB) started with just one person -- me. It's still very small and local, but I've since recruited a solid group of my friends who help move people in their spare time. Most of them have respectable day jobs and help me on nights and weekends. For example, TJ is an editor with a major national paper, Stu is an IT professional with a local non-profit, Rob works for a big consulting firm (read: probably CIA, but he's not telling). I also have a firefighter on the team, a photographer, and a few others. I'd trust each and every one of them to babysit my son. (Speaking of which, I could use a night off with the missus -- any of you guys available...?)

They're all friendly, tough, dependable and great to work with.

We're available most days and nights of the week (although nights are better if you need me to bring one of the guys). If your move requires something with a little more capacity than what my truck and trailer provide, I get a good business discount through a couple of the box-truck companies, and I just pass that deal on to you. Better yet -- you don't have to pick up the truck or drop it off!

What (else) I offer

  • The convenience of door-to-door service. No time-consuming reservations, pick-ups or drop-offs. With MTB, it’s as simple as picking up the phone or sending an e-mail. When the job is done, you don’t have to drop off a rental truck.
  • Affordable prices commensurate with services rendered. That’s my fancy way of saying "you pay for only what you need." It means if you just have to move a freakin' couch, you won't be charged fees for moving an entire house.
  • Three quarters of a million dollars of insurance. Don't worry - I'm covered and your stuff is safe.
  • Furniture disassembly and reassembly. If the only way to get something large and bulky out of your home is to take it apart, no worries - I have all the tools and equipment to do so.

In other words, you literally leave the heavy lifting to someone else. Whether you just need to move a mattress set, or maybe a one bedroom apartment across town, I offer an extra set of hands, a reliable truck, trailer, and well-vetted extra help if necessary.
