Safeway Moving Ft Lauderdale

What Safeway Moving Ft Lauderdale does

Safeway Moving Inc. is a privately held, veteran-owned interstate moving carrier headquartered at 5213 NW 33rd Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, FL, with a secondary regional office in South River, NJ. Founded in 2005 by a US Army veteran, the company operates across all 48 contiguous US states (excluding Alaska and Hawaii) and has completed more than 18,000 moves totaling over 9 million miles. It is licensed as an interstate carrier under FMCSA (USDOT 3756000 / MC 1335229) and operates directly with owned crews and trucks rather than acting as a broker.

The company's product portfolio is built around long-distance and local residential relocation as the core offering, supplemented by commercial/office relocation, professional packing, climate-controlled storage, and specialty services such as piano and freight moving. The operating technology centers on a proprietary barcode item-tracking system in which every item receives a unique barcode with customer and job metadata, scanned at pickup and delivery to prevent loss, combined with real-time GPS shipment visibility for customers. An exclusive partnership with United Moving Insurance Services (UMIS) provides actual replacement value coverage, and a digital sub-brand, Zen-Relo, exposes a self-serve online booking channel.

Safeway's business model is built on binding flat-rate pricing: the quoted price is the final invoice, with no fuel surcharges or long-carry add-ons, and the company employs a direct-sales GTM using a website quote form and multiple dedicated inbound phone lines. Customer segments are horizontally diversified across residential individuals (primary), commercial clients, retirement/seniors (with a 5% discount and dedicated move managers), and a realtor referral channel. Revenue streams are overwhelmingly transaction-based (one-time move fees) with modest recurring storage ($75-$400/month), insurance commissions, and referral payouts (10% local, 5% long-distance). The company has received Newsweek #1 Best National Moving Company and #1 Best Storage Container Company recognition in 2026 and reports a 98% customer satisfaction rate.

Core offering

Safeway Moving is a veteran-owned interstate moving carrier that provides flat-rate local, long-distance, and commercial relocation services across all 48 contiguous U.S. states. The company bundles labor, fuel, truck, and transit into a single binding flat-rate quote, and differentiates with a proprietary barcode item tracking system and real-time GPS shipment visibility, operating as the direct carrier (not a broker) from pickup to delivery. Adjacent services include professional packing, climate-controlled storage, specialty moves (piano, freight), senior-focused retirement relocation, and a partner-branded moving insurance offering.

Product overview

Safeway Moving operates as a veteran-owned national moving company offering a portfolio of coordinated services rather than a single product. The core offering consists of long-distance moving services (the primary revenue driver) complemented by commercial moving, local moving services, and storage & packing solutions. Specialty services include piano moving, freight moving, and the Retirement Advocate program for senior relocations. Add-on products include box delivery and COI request services. The company also offers UMIS Insurance through a partnership with United Moving Insurance Services. Zen-Relo serves as a digital sub-brand for online booking and tracking. A referral program incentivizes customer advocacy, while Drive for Safeway recruits professional drivers. All services are unified by a flat-rate pricing model, real-time barcode/GPS tracking, and single-carrier accountability across 48 states.
