Eastern Moving & Storage

What Eastern Moving & Storage does

Eastern Moving & Storage is a family-owned, full-service moving and storage company headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland. Incorporated in April 1979 and operated continuously by the Bishop family across four generations, the company employs approximately 12 people and serves residential and commercial customers across the lower 48 states, with primary concentration in Maryland and surrounding counties. It operates its own fleet of trucks, vans, and moving equipment and does not use subcontractors for any moves.

The company offers four integrated service lines: Residential Moving (local and long-distance, packing/unpacking, free on-site estimates, 24/7 customer service), Packing Services (single-box to whole-home packing, custom wooden crating, recycled boxes), Storage Services (over 20,000 square feet of warehouse space including a U.S. Military-approved facility, mobile storage units, and short-term trailer storage), and Office Moving (24/7 commercial relocation including holidays, debris removal, post-move cleanup). It holds U.S. DOT Operating Authority (DOT 431521) and Motor Carrier registration (MC 238508) for interstate operations, and is a ProMover-certified member of the American Moving and Storage Association.

Revenue is generated entirely through one-time, quote-based service engagements billed pay-as-you-go. The go-to-market is sales-led via phone-based direct sales, website quote request forms, and free on-site estimates; marketing relies on Google and Facebook reviews, word-of-mouth referrals, and community sponsorship. Long-term warehouse customers include U.S. Military and GSA-approved government relocations. The company acquired BelAir Moving & Storage in 2001 and added a Mobile Storage division in 2017 as its most significant recent product expansions.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Allied Van Lines: One of the largest North American moving companies with a broad agent network. Comparable in providing residential and corporate relocation, including government/military moves - the same institutional segment where Eastern holds certifications.
• North American Van Lines: Major interstate van line with broad residential and corporate relocation services. Comparable as a competitor in long-distance moving and corporate relocation, including military/government work Eastern pursues.
• United Van Lines: Major national van line with agency network of regional carriers. Eastern effectively competes as a sub-agent for long-distance interstate work; comparable in service offerings but operates at vastly greater scale across the U.S.
• Atlas Van Lines: Major interstate van line with corporate, government, and military relocation programs. Comparable to Eastern in the cross-state moving and government/military contract segment, but operates at significantly larger scale.

Emerging players

• College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving: National franchise offering local moving, junk removal, and labor services. Comparable in the local residential and small commercial moving segment with a tech-enabled booking model that represents the newer competitive threat Eastern faces.

Direct peers

• Two Men and a Truck: Largest franchised local moving company in the U.S. with strong Mid-Atlantic presence. Directly comparable as a residential-focused moving company with a multi-truck fleet, in-home estimates, and similar service mix (local/long-distance moving, packing, storage).
• PODS: National leader in portable storage container delivery and moving services. Highly comparable to Eastern's mobile storage and long-distance offerings, and a direct competitor in the portable container segment Eastern launched in 2017.
• 1-800-Pack-Rat: National portable storage and moving company that delivers containers to customer locations. Directly comparable to Eastern's mobile storage division and competes for both residential and commercial portable storage demand.

Regional players

• Stewart Moving & Storage: Family-owned Baltimore-area moving and storage company in operation since 1896. Direct local competitor with very similar product mix (residential, commercial, packing, storage) and overlapping Maryland service territory.
• JK Moving Services: Large privately-held Mid-Atlantic moving and storage company headquartered in Sterling, VA. Closely comparable as a regional full-service mover offering residential, commercial, packing, and storage across the same Mid-Atlantic geography as Eastern.
