When a Tampa household has to land in another city, the part most outfits gloss over is who actually sits behind the wheel for the long stretch. At B and G Movers the answer never wavers: the W-2 movers who carry your first box out of your Westshore-area home are the same faces waiting at the ramp when the trailer opens in Orlando, Miami, Jacksonville, or beyond. Brett and Greg built the company in 2015 on one rule, that your shipment stays in our hands start to finish.
The price we write down is the price you pay when the last box clears the door
Greg works up a binding written figure before a single pad goes on your furniture, and that number holds. No surprise mileage adjustment at the curb, no “the weight came in high” conversation on the driveway, no delivery date that quietly slides a week. We can promise the calendar because our own Tampa payroll is steering the truck, not a stranger we found last minute.
Your load travels on one B&G trailer, never pooled with strangers’ boxes
Plenty of long hauls run as a shuffle: your belongings get loaded into a shared trailer, dropped at a depot somewhere along I-75, then reloaded onto whatever rig is headed your direction. That handoff is exactly where a nightstand goes missing or a couch shows up gouged. We will not operate like that. A trailer and a crew are assigned to your move and nothing else, so your headboard never rides wedged against somebody else’s washer and no driver swaps in halfway up the interstate.
Twelve trucks roll out of our Westshore yard, and the one that pulls away from your address is the one that backs up at the destination. You hold onto the same inventory list, the same crew chief, and the same office number for the entire trip.
- Direct haulA single B&G trailer and one crew from Tampa to the doorstep at the far end, with no depot stop along the way
- AuthorityFDACS-registered Florida intrastate mover plus USDOT and MC authority, fully insured
- Coverage$1M in cargo coverage and the $0.60-per-pound released value, with 1 to 3% full-value protection offered as an upgrade
- ClaimsA 9-month claim window, handled straight through our Tampa office instead of a call-center queue
The Florida corridors our drivers run themselves
✓ Our own trucks, staffed by movers on the B and G Movers payroll
- Call and Brett, Greg or someone else at our Westshore office answers in person, never a rented call floor
- The total on the written estimate is what you pay at the door — no move-day surcharge bolted on, no padded line items slid into the invoice.
- One B and G Movers crew packs, loads and unloads the whole way through
- Every load carries $1M of coverage, and any certificate of insurance your HOA or high-rise requires goes out the same day
- If something goes sideways, Brett and Greg handle the claim themselves, and it stays inside our Westshore office
× Broker chain
- Run those same details through a broker and they ricochet around a call floor before getting sold to whoever bids lowest.
- Unexpected “extras” added to the invoice the second the truck arrives
- An unfamiliar truck shows up carrying a crew of strangers
- The certificate of insurance and the building paperwork land on you to track down
- Broken items waved off with a “that was not our subcontractor” excuse
Most weeks we are carrying families and job relocations out of Hillsborough County toward the rest of the state and the Southeast. These are roads our own crews drive themselves, never lanes we quietly hand to an outside hauler:
| Where you’re headed | The way we drive it from Tampa |
|---|---|
| Orlando | A straight 85-mile shot east on I-4, our most common same-day delivery |
| Miami | About 280 miles south down I-75 (Alligator Alley feeds in) into Miami-Dade |
| Jacksonville | Roughly 200 miles north on I-75 then east on I-10 into Duval County |
| Atlanta | A 460-mile pull north on I-75 across the state line into Georgia |
Scheduling around the heat, the afternoon storms, and hurricane season
Tampa summers sit in the 90s for weeks, and from June through November a storm watch can rearrange a week in a hurry. Since we own both the rig and the schedule, we roll early to clear the afternoon thunderstorms, cover heat-sensitive items in pads that let air through, and reschedule honestly when a system tracks toward the Bay rather than pushing your crew out into it.
What ships with your move
- A trailer reserved for your household alone, never pooled with other shipments
- The same W-2 B&G crew on both the Tampa load and the unload at the far end
- A binding written quote from Greg that holds through final delivery
- $1M in cargo coverage with the $0.60-per-pound released value standard
- 1 to 3% full-value protection available as an upgrade before the truck leaves
- An early-morning start scheduled around the heat and afternoon storms
- One inventory sheet and one office number for the whole trip
- A 9-month claim window worked by our Westshore office, not a hotline
