Fantastic Moves

What Fantastic Moves does

Fantastic Moves is a Dallas-based, privately held moving and relocation services company operating as Lone Star Loaders Inc. Founded in 2011 after its principals separated from a franchise umbrella where they had operated since 1995, the company provides a full suite of in-town, intrastate, and interstate moving services for residential and small-to-medium commercial customers. Its service portfolio includes local moves, long-distance moves, packing services, loading and unloading assistance, internal/in-house moves, commercial office relocations, packing supplies retail, and short-term storage. The operation runs on a fleet of eight 24-foot bobtail trucks, each equipped with professional-grade moving pads, dollies, and packing materials included at no extra charge. The company is licensed for interstate commerce (USDOT 1032910) and is properly bonded and insured to access most Dallas commercial office buildings.

The business model is professional services-based, with revenue generated through quote-based pricing determined by move size, distance, labor hours, and special handling requirements. A credit card is required to schedule a move but no deposit is collected. Customer acquisition is sales-led and concentrated in the DFW metropolitan area, relying on a website quote-request form, phone-based sales conversations, online reviews on Yelp, Google, Angie's List, and Nextdoor, community sponsorships, and word-of-mouth referrals. The company is a 11-50 employee operation with a stable long-tenured crew (no day laborers, mandatory drug screening and background checks), leadership composed of co-founders Francey Beall, Parrish Hudson, and part-owner Nick Sorrentino (part owner since 2025 following founder Dave Totzke's 2024 retirement), and a differentiated service offering that includes same-crew continuity on long-distance jobs, free delivery of packing supplies over $100, and buyback of unused materials.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• North American Van Lines: Major U.S. interstate van line offering household goods moving, packing, and storage at a national scale. Comparable as a competing provider of the long-distance/interstate service Fantastic Moves offers, but with vastly larger asset base and network.
• United Van Lines: Large interstate household goods mover with broad agent network. Directly overlaps with Fantastic Moves' interstate licensed service, but operates across the full U.S. rather than a single metro.
• Penske Truck Rental: Nationally branded truck rental company serving consumer and commercial moves. Overlaps with Fantastic Moves' loading/unloading rental-truck assistance service from the truck-supply side.
• U-Haul: Dominant self-service truck and trailer rental provider. Comparable to Fantastic Moves' loading/unloading rental-truck service line and DIY customer base, though U-Haul owns the truck-rental layer rather than the labor layer.

Direct peers

• All My Sons Moving & Storage: National residential and commercial mover with local franchise operations offering local, long-distance, and packing services. Closely comparable to Fantastic Moves in service mix (moves + packing) and quote-based customer model.
• Two Men and a Truck: Large franchise system of local residential and small-commercial movers operating across the U.S. Directly comparable to Fantastic Moves' core offering of full-service local household moves with truck and crew, though at significantly broader geographic scale.

Emerging players

• Dolly: App-based marketplace for on-demand heavy item moving and small moves. Comparable to Fantastic Moves' loading/unloading and internal-move services but with a digital booking model rather than phone-based quotes.
• PODS: Portable storage container company enabling self-service moves and storage. Comparable to Fantastic Moves' storage and loading/unloading services, but uses a container rather than full-service crew model.
• TaskRabbit: Digital marketplace for furniture moving and labor services. Comparable to Fantastic Moves' internal moving and loading/unloading services, particularly for small-scale and single-item jobs, with much lower friction booking.

Others

• 1-800-GOT-JUNK?: National franchise junk removal service adjacent to the moving and hauling space. Comparable customer demographic and local-service operating model, but focused on removal rather than relocation.
