VETTED & TRAINED

Leave the loading to the pros

Our crews are background-checked and trained to load a truck, POD, or container the right way. They use the space efficiently, pad and protect your furniture, and pack it tight so nothing shifts in transit. Pick your date and we'll send a crew that knows what your move needs.

AT YOUR DESTINATION

Relax while we handle the unload

When you reach the other end, the crew does the heavy work. We unload quickly and carefully, then put each box and piece of furniture where you want it. You point, we carry, and your new place comes together while you stay off the dolly.

SEVEN DAYS A WEEK

Labor-only, on your schedule

We're available seven days a week, and because it's labor only, you keep control of the truck, the route, and the timing. You handle transport, we handle the muscle. It's self-managed moving with a professional crew doing the lifting.

THE UNDERGRADS DIFFERENCE

The Show-Up Guarantee.
How it works.

Every moving company says they'll show up. We're the only ones confident enough to put $50 behind it — on every booking, without being asked. 40,000+ moves since 2017. Our show rate speaks for itself.

01

You book a time window

You pick the date and arrival window when you schedule. We confirm your crew assignment the night before.

02

We put $50 behind every move

We're that confident. If a mover arrives 30 minutes after the scheduled start, $50 comes off your bill. No forms, no asking.

03

The move always happens

Confirmed within 24 hours of booking. Once you're on our schedule, we are getting you moved. If something comes up, you hear from us first.

“They arrived 10 minutes early, introduced themselves by name, and asked where to start. I've never had a moving crew do that.”

WHY UNDERGRADS

How we compare.

Traditional movers add stair fees, fuel surcharges, and tape charges. They send whoever's available. We do neither.

From the field. 2,000+ moves

The most underestimated load: a storage unit that was packed 'temporarily' two years ago. What you think is a 2-hour unload turns into 3.5 hours when you have to sort through it. If you haven't seen the unit recently, give us an honest count of what's in it.

What our customers say

Undergrads' loading and unloading service was incredibly fast and efficient! They got our truck packed perfectly and unloaded everything at our new apartment in record time. Highly recommend!

Hannah R., Charleston, SC

These guys are awesome. Abdusalom, Christian, and Shane absolutely crushed our move-in, despite there being some pretty heavy items. Aside from being efficient and professional, they were nice young men. Would definitely recommend this team!

OUR STORY

We started in 2017 in Clemson, SC with a two-person crew and a simple idea: hire reliable college students and show up ready to work. Since then we've grown across Florida, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas. We cover loading and unloading within about 30 miles of each of our hubs, and if you're a little further out we can still help for a small travel fee.
