Camelback Moving

What Camelback Moving does

Camelback Moving, Inc. is an independent professional moving company founded in 2005 and headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, with a secondary office in Scottsdale. The company operates a fleet of 24-26 foot trucks and 53-foot tractor trailers, a climate-controlled warehouse facility, and handles roughly 500-600 relocations per month across residential, commercial, and DIY customer segments. It has completed over 70,000 moves since inception and serves Arizona locally, the continental United States for interstate moves, and Mexico for international relocations. Service lines include local hourly-rate moves, long-distance moves with flat binding estimates and guaranteed delivery dates, international moves, commercial and office relocations (including FF&E/OS&E, specialty installations, fulfillment, and flood/fire packout), labor-only services, warehouse and storage, eviction services, and moving supplies. The company holds USDOT #1635834 and operates as a direct service provider rather than a broker.

The business model is multi-pronged. Local moves are billed hourly (typically $175-$275/hour + trip charge) with published rates and no hidden fees; long-distance moves use flat binding estimates based on shipment size and weight. Specialty and add-on services are charged at $125/hour for lead installers and flat rates for premium add-ons (carpet film, felt pads, pool table disassembly). A significant portion of demand flows through a VIP Partner Program with 10+ real estate brokerages (Keller Williams, DPR Realty, Century 21 Arizona Foothills, Realty ONE Group, WestUSA, EXP, Castle Real Estate, Security Title Agency) plus PODS Phoenix, each receiving exclusive pricing tiers. Distribution also includes direct phone sales, website self-serve quotes, and marketplace presence on Yelp, Angie's List, Nextdoor, and HomeAdvisor.

Revenue is generated from individual residential customers (primary segment), commercial/business customers (primary segment), real estate channel partners (referral layer), and DIY movers (container-based labor). The company is privately held by founder/management, with President Chad Olsen and the Commercial Director directly overseeing operations seven days a week. The company claims Arizona's largest independent mover status, A+ BBB accreditation, 96% referral rate, 1% damage claim rate, and 8-12 consecutive Phoenix Magazine Best of the Valley awards, indicating durable brand equity in a fragmented, low-trust category.
