About
Our History
The story of Gatech Center Moving began in 2011, when Andrew Roberts founded the company with one used truck, a strong work ethic, and a clear goal—to offer honest, affordable, and dependable moving services in Hilo, HI and beyond.
Key Milestones
2011 – Launch
Operations began with local apartment and office moves. The team handled every job personally. No shortcuts.
2013 – First Staff
Demand grew. Gatech Center Moving hired its first movers and rented a small warehouse. We expanded to full residential and commerical services.
2015 – Fleet & Training
Two trucks were added. Formal training started: safe lifting, piano handling, furniture protection, and better time control. We introduced packing and insurance.
2017 – Interstate License
We gained authority for interstate moves. Routes expanded: from Hilo, HI to Denver, Seattle, LA. More long-haul jobs, better logistics.
2019 – Specialized Services
We added services for senior, student, and urgent last minute moves. We started handling pool table disassembly and full-packing jobs.
2020 – Pandemic Response
New health protocols, digital estimates, and contact-free service. Demand shifted, but operations stayed active. Focus on flexibility.
2021 – New Branch
A second location opened. This improved regional reach without adding complexity. Focus remained on personal service, not growth for growth’s sake.
2022 – Better Systems
Launched client portal: quotes, scheduling, and live tracking. Fewer delays, clearer communication.
2023 – Greener Fleet
We began transitioning to fuel-efficient trucks. Switched to recyclable packing materials. Small changes, real results.
2024 – Smart Routes & Hiring
Route software reduced delays. More hires, better training. We started a community program supporting families in need.
Mission
While Gatech Center Moving is not the biggest name in the business, we are proud of our steady, ethical growth. We do not claim to be the leader in the moving industry—but we strive to be the most reliable, honest, and accessible partner for anyone planning a move.
In the years ahead, we plan to:
-
Expand our presence in Hawaii, Colorado, and Texas.
-
Add new services for student, senior, and last minute relocations.
-
Invest in mobile booking apps and AI-based estimates.
-
Partner with veteran organizations to offer discounted services.
From our first small job in Hilo, HI to cross-country relocations and everything in between, Gatech Center Moving has stayed true to its roots: dependable service, hard work, and real people behind the name.
The journey is far from over—and we’re moving forward with purpose.
