What Dircks Moving & Logistics does

Dircks Moving & Logistics is a family-owned, Phoenix-headquartered full-service moving and logistics company founded in 1990. The company operates as an agent for Mayflower Van Lines and a UniGroup Logistics Certified Provider, giving it access to a national and international moving network of 180+ locations across 125+ countries. It serves three core customer segments — residential families (approximately 7,500 moves per year), commercial and institutional clients (offices, laboratories, technology/data centers, healthcare facilities, and sports teams), and auto transport customers via the Clutch Auto Transport sub-brand — operating from a 110,000+ square foot Phoenix facility with over 2,700 climate-controlled storage vaults and a new 2025 commercial warehouse in Hayward, California.

Revenue is generated through transaction-fee pricing on residential and commercial moves (quote-based, with local Phoenix moves ranging from $400–$2,500 and small commercial moves at $3,000–$8,000), managed-services storage and records management fees, professional-services packing and move-management engagements, and per-vehicle auto transport fees. Core operational technology includes air-ride/lift-gate equipped trucks, computer-assisted dispatching, web-based barcoded inventory tracking, and the Mayflower Virtual Survey Tool for remote estimates. The company employs 101–250 people and is led by Matt Dircks (President & CEO) following a 2023 generational succession from founder-era leader Chip Dircks.

Dircks' go-to-market blends direct field sales (in-home and on-site estimates by Move Consultants), inside sales via phone and web quote requests, self-serve digital quoting, and inbound referrals through the Mayflower network and CRN/CMG commercial partnerships. The company holds an A+ Better Business Bureau rating, claims 105 industry awards including multiple Mayflower Customer Choice Awards and the 2009 Mayflower President's Quality Award, and maintains official-mover partnerships with the Arizona Cardinals, ASU Sun Devils, Phoenix Suns, and other Arizona professional sports franchises.

Direct peers

• Hilldrup Moving & Storage: UniGroup/Mayflower-affiliated full-service mover headquartered on the East Coast with comparable residential, commercial, and storage offerings. Closely comparable because both are large, family-influenced agency-style operators combining local household goods moving with multi-state and international reach through the same parent network.
• Beltmann Moving & Storage: Long-standing Mayflower Van Lines agent offering residential, commercial, and storage services across multiple U.S. metros. Directly comparable because Beltmann operates the same agency-plus-local-execution model as Dircks, competing for the same multi-market commercial and household goods move contracts.
• Suddath Relocation Systems: National commercial and residential moving and logistics company with van line agency relationships. Comparable because Suddath competes head-to-head for enterprise office, lab, and technology relocations and operates warehousing and records management adjacencies similar to Dircks Logistics.
• Armstrong Relocation: United Van Lines / UniGroup-affiliated full-service mover focused on corporate relocation and commercial moves. Comparable because Armstrong targets the same enterprise commercial relocation and employee relocation segments Dircks serves via its CRN/CMG memberships.
• All My Sons Moving & Storage: Large regional-to-national residential and commercial moving company with multiple U.S. branches. Comparable because it competes in the same local household goods moving space as Dircks in markets where their footprints overlap, with similar service menus including packing and storage.

Broad incumbents

• Two Men and a Truck: Largest franchised local moving company in the U.S. with hundreds of locations. Comparable as a competing brand for local residential moves and small commercial relocations, though it operates a franchise model versus Dircks' single-family-owned corporate model.
• U-Haul: Largest DIY truck rental and self-storage operator in North America. Comparable as a substitute for customers choosing self-service moves and storage versus Dircks' full-service offering, particularly for price-sensitive local Phoenix customers.
• Atlas Van Lines: Major U.S. van line whose agents compete directly with Mayflower/UniGroup agencies for interstate and international moves. Comparable as a competitor for the same long-distance and cross-border household goods shipments that Dircks books through Mayflower/UniGroup.
• North American Van Lines: Major U.S. van line offering household goods and commercial moving services. Comparable as a competing van line ecosystem whose agents overlap with Mayflower/UniGroup agencies in bidding for enterprise and household goods moves.

Emerging players

• PODS: Portable storage container company offering moving and storage solutions nationwide. Comparable because PODS competes with Dircks' portable-storage-style moves and long-term storage offering, even though its container model differs from Dircks' full-service truck-based moving.
