Brothers Easy Moving of Tampa has grown every single month since Gary Thacker founded it in Riverview, Florida in 2010, completing more than 25,000 moves across Tampa Bay. That sustained growth comes from partner crews with skin in the game, honest flat-rate pricing, and no brokers or handoffs on long-distance jobs. The company is licensed, insured, and a Better Business Bureau member.

Gary Thacker started Brothers Easy Moving of Tampa in Riverview in 2010. Since then, the company has completed more than 25,000 moves across Tampa Bay. That kind of track record does not happen by accident, and we want to take a moment to explain what has actually driven it.

Brothers Easy Moving of Tampa: Professional Movers in Tampa

We are a licensed and insured moving company serving Tampa, Riverview, and St. Petersburg. Our movers are partner crews, not day labor pulled from an app. They own or rent their trucks and are paid on the job, which means they have real skin in the game every time they show up at your door. That structure matters. A crew that cares about its own reputation handles your furniture differently than one that clocks out and moves on.

For local moves, we charge by the hour: one rate that covers the crew and the truck, quoted honestly before you book. Travel time shows up as one plain line. No surprise fees on moving day. Long-distance moves are priced on inventory, distance, and dates, and we use our own trucks and crews the entire way. No brokers, no handoffs to strangers.

Our Growth Since 2010

Since we opened, Brothers Easy Moving of Tampa has seen 97 consecutive months of growth. That means every single month has been stronger than the one before it, without exception, since the company was founded. We are proud of that number, and we want to be clear about where it comes from: the people around us. Our partner crews, our clients, and the broader Tampa Bay community have made that kind of sustained growth possible.

We also have more online reviews in Tampa than any other moving company in the area, and those reviews carry the highest rating. We did not buy that standing. It came from jobs done well and from being straight with people before, during, and after the move.

Frequently Asked Questions

Repeat business and word of mouth. In the Tampa Bay area, people move more than once, and they talk to neighbors, coworkers, and family members who are also moving. When a crew shows up on time, handles your furniture carefully, and charges what was quoted, you remember that and you tell people.

The alternative, cutting corners on crew quality or hiding fees, produces short-term revenue and long-term damage to reputation. We have built this company on the idea that straightforward communication is the actual service, not just a nice-to-have on top of it.

Our movers are partner crews who own or rent their trucks and are paid on the job. That structure means they have real skin in the game on every move. A crew member who owns his equipment treats your furniture differently than someone who showed up this morning and may not be back tomorrow.

We have operated this way since Gary Thacker founded the company in Riverview in 2010. It is not a marketing angle; it is the operating model that has carried us through 25,000 moves across Tampa, Riverview, and St. Petersburg.

Look for specifics. A review that says the crew arrived at 8 a.m., wrapped the dining table carefully, and finished within the quoted time window tells you something real. A review that says the company was amazing and stress-free tells you almost nothing. Also check how the company responds to negative reviews, because every company eventually has a bad day.

We have accumulated a large number of reviews across Tampa Bay over many years, and we encourage you to read the critical ones as carefully as the five-star ones before you call us at 813-505-2560.

Not with us. Local moves are priced hourly, one rate covering the crew and the truck, quoted before you book, with travel shown as a plain separate line. There are no fuel surcharges buried in the fine print or fees that appear on moving day. Growth has not changed that structure.

What growth has allowed us to do is keep experienced crews working consistently, which matters because a crew that moves furniture every week in Tampa traffic is faster and more careful than one that works sporadically.

No, and this is worth understanding before moving day. Florida's default carrier liability is 60 cents per pound per item. A 50-pound flat-screen television that breaks would be covered for 30 dollars under that standard. Licensed and insured protects you as a business entity; it does not automatically replace the value of your belongings.

We explain the difference between basic valuation and full-value protection before you book, not after something goes wrong. Our DOT number is 2349033 and MC number is 1817 if you want to verify our standing independently through federal records.
