AUBURN MOVING CO., INC.

What AUBURN MOVING CO., INC. does

Auburn Moving Co., Inc., doing business as Auburn Moving & Storage, is a privately held, family-owned moving company founded in 2005 and headquartered in Roseville, California. The company provides local, long-distance, interstate, international, and commercial relocation services for residential and institutional customers, alongside packing, crating, specialty-item handling (piano, safe, antiques, fitness equipment), and short-term storage. As an authorized interstate agent for Bekins Van Lines, Auburn Moving extends its reach into a national van line network for interstate and international shipments that an independent operator could not service directly.

The company operates with 29 full-time staff, scaling to approximately 40 during peak summer season, and reports more than 65% of business from repeat and referral customers. Service breadth is broad: structured packing kit SKUs priced from $200 to $1,162, subscription storage at $40–$55 per month, and specialty item handling allow the operator to sell across transactional, project, and recurring revenue lines. Technology stack appears standard for the category — a tracking system for international moves and digitized reporting — with no disclosed proprietary AI or automation.

Auburn Moving generates revenue primarily through service-fee billing on local hourly moves, long-distance/interstate shipments routed through the Bekins network, commercial contracts, and recurring storage and packing kit sales. Notable institutional references include the Sacramento Kings and the California State Assembly, alongside a residential long-tail customer base. The company holds a BBB A+ rating and has received multiple Bekins Agent of the Month recognitions across 2018, 2019, and 2025/2026.

Others

• U-Haul: Largest do-it-yourself truck and trailer rental network; indirectly competes with Auburn by enabling self-service moving, often at a much lower price point for cost-sensitive customers in the same Northern California geographies.
• Penske Truck Rental: Commercial-grade truck rental provider enabling consumer and small-business DIY long-distance moves. Adjacent alternative to Auburn's full-service interstate offering via the Bekins network.

Broad incumbents

• Bekins Van Lines: National van line that Auburn represents as an authorized interstate agent; provides Auburn access to interstate and international household goods capacity while competing broadly for corporate relocation and cross-country household moves beyond Auburn's local territory.
• United Van Lines: One of the largest national van lines operating through agent networks; offers the same interstate household goods services Auburn provides via its Bekins partnership, and competes for the same agent-affiliated long-distance customers.
• Allied Van Lines: Major national van line with parallel local-agent network and overlapping service offering (local, long-distance, international, storage). Comparable to Auburn/Bekins as agent-network long-distance mover.
• North American Van Lines: National household goods and corporate relocation carrier with a comparable agent-driven model and service mix covering interstate moves, packing, and storage. Competes with Auburn for the same long-distance household goods workflow.

Emerging players

• PODS: Portable container moving and storage model that competes for the same residential move budget with a self-paced alternative. Represents an alternative service format addressing the same underlying customer need.

Direct peers

• Two Men and a Truck: National franchise system of full-service residential and commercial movers. Closely comparable in service mix (local/long-distance moves, packing, labor-only) and in serving customers through local owner-operated agents, just as Auburn does as a Bekins agent.
• Meathead Movers: California-based full-service residential and commercial mover competing on customer experience, brand reputation, and review-driven acquisition. Competes for the same household and office customers in the Sacramento and Central Valley markets Auburn serves.
• Starving Students Movers: California-based full-service residential mover with a similar local-roots brand identity, in-home estimating model, and concentration in Northern and Southern California metros. Direct overlap with Auburn's residential Sacramento service area.
