Men On The Move

What Men On The Move does

Men On The Move is a privately held, family-owned moving and storage company founded in September 1985 by John Beyer and headquartered at 150 Crossways Park Drive West in Woodbury, New York. The company provides integrated relocation services across Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk counties), New York City (Manhattan, Queens, Bronx), and the East Coast corridor from Maine to Florida, serving residential customers, commercial clients, government organizations, military families, and high-profile individuals. Core offerings span local and long-distance moving, commercial relocation, expert packing and crating, fine arts and piano moving, self-storage at a Class-A facility with 24-hour surveillance, premium insulated portable storage cubes, and warehouse vault storage for transitional periods.

The business operates a modern fleet of GPS-tracked moving trucks plus air-ride equipped tractor-trailers that enable continuous custody on long-distance hauls, and a differentiated portable storage cube product with rubberized flooring, horizontal loading, and swing doors priced from $19 per month. Self-storage units are priced from $35 per month. Revenue is generated through one-time transaction fees on moves and recurring monthly subscriptions on storage products, supported by a sales-led go-to-market built on direct phone outreach, website estimate requests, and a referral channel that contributes over 70% of business. The website and storage operations are powered by the Storable platform, and the company holds USDOT #526079 and NYDOT #T-11671 motor carrier authorities.

The company has remained independent since founding, with no disclosed external funding, and operates as a relationship-driven, reputation-led regional brand. Strategic positioning is reinforced by repeat wins of the Angie's List Super Service Award and Best of Long Island Award, an Autism Speaks co-branded fleet, and partnerships with Spectrum Designs Foundation for employee uniforms. Technology investment is concentrated in physical assets and operational platforms rather than digital or AI capabilities, and the company's growth trajectory is built on incremental service-line extension and geographic coverage rather than aggressive scaling.
