Economy Movers started with a simple complaint. Brian Sullivan grew up in New England and spent years driving trucks and running crews for one of the big-name Boston moving companies. He was good at the work, but he hated the bill his customers got at the end of it. Padded hourly rates that ran the clock while a crew stood around. Surprise fuel surcharges tacked on at the curb. Stair fees and long-carry fees that nobody mentioned during the quote. By 2014 he had seen enough, and he started Economy Movers to do it the way he thought it should be done: honest, affordable, and written down before the truck rolls.
Cheaper Because We Run It Lean — Not Because We Cut Corners
Here is the thing people get wrong about a budget mover. Economy Movers is a real, fully licensed moving company. We own about ten trucks, we employ around eighteen movers, and we run depots in the Boston metro that serve all six New England states. We do not farm your move out to whoever bids lowest. Brian’s crew is on our payroll, in our uniforms, driving our equipment. We are affordable for one boring reason: we keep our overhead low and we pass the savings on. No flashy downtown showroom, no fleet of new trucks we make you pay for, no fuel-surcharge game. Just a flat written quote and a crew that knows New England housing stock — the brownstones with no elevator, the triple-deckers with narrow back stairs, the permit-only streets where you cannot park a 26-footer without planning ahead.
Licensed, Insured, and Built for the Long Haul
Affordable should never mean unprotected. Economy Movers carries US DOT and MC authority for interstate moves and a Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities household-goods license for moves within the state. We are bonded and insured, registered to operate across Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine, and we keep every credential current. Cargo coverage runs up to $1,000,000 per shipment, with $0.60-per-pound released-value protection standard and full-value protection available if you want it. Over a decade in, the team that built this still runs it — operations manager Diane Mercier has been here since 2015, estimator Rob Castellano since 2016, and crew leads Kevin Walsh, Tyrese Jackson, and Pat Lefebvre have logged years apiece carrying furniture up New England stairs. We are not the biggest name in Boston. We are the one that gives you a fair price and keeps it.
