About Moving On

Moving On has served the Irondale and greater Birmingham area for years, helping individuals and families handle relocations of all sizes. They've built a reputation for showing up on time, treating belongings carefully, and not padding bills with hidden fees. For veterans making a move tied to VA housing assistance, a benefit-related transition, or simply a fresh start after service, the company brings straightforward professionalism that military families tend to appreciate. The team handles everything from apartment moves to full household relocations. They're familiar with the specific pressures that come with military transitions, whether that's a hard out date, coordinating with a VA-approved housing program, or working around the unpredictable scheduling that veteran families know too well. Moving On keeps communication simple and gets the job done.

How They Can Help

Moving On offers a full range of moving services designed to cover whatever your relocation requires. Local moves within the Irondale and Birmingham metro are their bread and butter, but they also handle long-distance moves for veterans relocating to be near specific VA medical centers or family support networks. Packing services are available for those who'd rather not deal with that part, and they supply the boxes, tape, and protective materials so you don't have to source anything yourself. Furniture disassembly and reassembly is included when needed. For veterans in temporary housing situations or waiting on VA housing vouchers to clear, they offer short-term storage solutions so your belongings don't have to sit in limbo. They're also experienced with specialty items like firearms storage safes, medical equipment, and mobility aids, which matters for veterans with service-connected conditions who rely on specific gear every day.

What to Expect

Getting started with Moving On is straightforward. You contact them to describe your move, and they'll give you a quote based on the scope and distance. They don't do lowball estimates that balloon on moving day. Once you confirm, they lock in your date and assign a crew. On moving day, the crew arrives with the truck and all necessary equipment. They do a walkthrough with you before anything gets loaded so there are no surprises. Fragile or high-value items get flagged and handled accordingly. After everything's loaded and transported, they unload and place items where you want them. If you've opted for unpacking services, they'll handle that too. They do a final walkthrough at the end to confirm nothing was missed or damaged. Payment is collected after the job is done to your satisfaction.

Service Area

Moving On serves Irondale and the broader Jefferson County area, including Birmingham, Bessemer, Hoover, Homewood, and Vestavia Hills. They handle long-distance moves from Alabama to anywhere in the continental United States. Veterans relocating to access the Birmingham VA Medical Center or the regional VA offices in surrounding counties will find their service area covers the routes most commonly traveled for those transitions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer discounts for veterans or active-duty military?
Moving On offers military discounts on select services. Ask about eligibility when you call for a quote, and have your military ID or veteran documentation ready to confirm your status.
Can you move medical equipment like power wheelchairs or hospital beds?
Yes, the crew is trained to handle medical equipment and mobility devices. Let them know during the quote phase so they can bring the right materials and assign enough crew members for the job.
How far in advance should I book?
Two to three weeks is ideal for local moves. Long-distance moves benefit from four to six weeks of lead time, especially if your move date falls between May and August when demand peaks.
What if my VA housing situation delays my move date?
Moving On understands that VA timelines don't always cooperate. They'll work with you on rescheduling, though popular dates can be hard to hold indefinitely without some form of commitment.
Do you handle interstate moves from Alabama?
Yes, they handle long-distance moves from Alabama to any state in the continental US. Pricing is based on weight and distance with no hidden delivery surcharges added at the destination.
What insurance coverage comes with my move?
Basic released-value protection is included with every move. You can upgrade to full-value replacement coverage for high-value or irreplaceable items at an additional cost per the quote.
Can you store my belongings if my new place isn't ready?
Yes, short-term storage is available for situations where your move-in date is delayed. Monthly and weekly rates apply depending on your total volume and how long you need the storage.
Are your prices fixed or can they change on moving day?
Hourly-rate moves can vary based on actual time, but Moving On provides honest estimates and doesn't inflate hours. Long-distance moves are quoted flat by weight and distance so you know what to expect.
