Memphis sits where I-40 and I-55 cross, with the Mississippi River hard against its western edge and a housing stock that swings from narrow Midtown Craftsman bungalows to sprawling ranch properties on the eastern and southern fringes. That variety matters when you’re choosing a mover. Our Moving & Storage team knows the difference between a Downtown loft freight elevator and a 200-foot gravel service drive off Airways Boulevard, and we plan accordingly before the truck leaves the yard.
Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Memphis’s Preferred Moving & Storage Company
We’ve been in continuous operation since 2006, founded in Hollywood, Florida, and we’ve built our reputation on one principle: the price we quote is the price you pay. No Memphis customer who books through our in-person or video survey has watched their final bill climb on move day. That’s the Move-Right Guarantee in writing.
Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and on our own payroll. Not gig labor. Not day workers sourced from a text thread. One crew, start to finish, trained to headquarters standards and accountable to Dale Whitmore, our owner. When you call (855) 890-3455, a live person answers - 24 hours a day, before your move, during your move, and if something needs fixing after delivery.
Our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers every job we handle in Memphis. If anything we moved or packed isn’t right within 90 days of delivery, one call brings a crew or a check. Not a subcontractor. Not a claim form that disappears into a phone tree.
Current offers for Memphis customers include $250 off moves over $2,500, free wardrobe boxes on every full-service move, and a free in-home or video estimate with no obligation.
Our Moving & Storage Services in Memphis
Short-Term Storage
Short-term storage in Memphis runs $90-$400 per month and fits the gap between closing dates, lease overlaps, or renovation schedules. In a market where St. Jude and Le Bonheur transfers can move families in on 30-day notice, flexibility matters. We inventory everything, photograph condition at pickup, and deliver on your schedule - not ours.
Long-Term Storage
Long-term storage in Memphis runs $90-$400 per month for households downsizing, handling estate transitions, or storing workshop equipment from rural acreage properties. Our units are monitored and accessible by appointment. For items staying put through Memphis’s humid summers and ice-storm winters, we recommend climate-controlled options.
Climate-Controlled Storage
Climate-controlled storage in Memphis runs $90-$400 per month and is built for this city’s specific threats. Memphis’s summer heat index regularly tops 105°F with Gulf humidity that warps wood furniture, stresses instrument glue joints, and degrades electronics faster than in drier Southern climates. Our climate-controlled units maintain stable temperature and humidity, protecting antiques, pianos, and workshop tools through the worst July afternoons.
Storage-in-Transit
Storage-in-transit in Memphis runs $90-$400 per month and solves the timing problem that cross-country relocations and bridge-dependent routing create. Because the Mississippi River forces all Memphis-West Memphis traffic through a handful of bridge crossings, a delayed closing or late freight delivery can strand a loaded truck. Our storage-in-transit units hold your shipment locally while we coordinate the final leg, keeping your items inventoried and protected rather than sitting in a parked rig.
Container Storage
Container storage in Memphis runs $90-$400 per month for customers who want modular flexibility. We load at your property, seal the container, and store it at our facility. Popular with Cooper-Young homeowners staging narrow Midtown properties for sale, where a 26-foot truck can’t legally park under the oak canopy.
Declutter & Staging Storage
Declutter and staging storage in Memphis runs $90-$400 per month and supports the city’s active real estate market. Medical District professionals relocating for residencies often need to thin out a 1920s Craftsman bungalow before listing - no garage, minimal closet space, and a stoop that won’t accommodate bulk item staging. We remove, store, and return on closing day.

Trusted Equipment & Brands We Use in Memphis
Our trucks carry Milwaukee-powered hand trucks and lift equipment, Uline packing supplies sized for everything from Medical District file cabinets to rural workshop tool chests, and Ryder-maintained vehicles garaged in the metros we serve. We don’t subcontract your move to a rented U-Haul. Our branded trucks are stocked for Memphis’s specific challenges: heavy-duty dollies for ranch-home pianos, narrow appliance straps for shotgun-house corridors, and climate-controlled cargo bays for summer moves. If your job requires specialized equipment for an oversized workshop door or a freight-elevator loft, we confirm it during the survey and bring it on day one.
Common Moving & Storage Problems We See in Memphis Homes
- Underestimating rural service drives. Memphis’s eastern and southern acreage properties often have 200-foot gravel drives that turn a standard move into an all-day relay. Out-of-town van lines plan for suburban curb access and end up billing for extra hours. We scout access beforehand and staff accordingly.
- Arriving without heavy-duty hardware for workshop doors. Detached garages on Memphis acreage frequently have 10-foot-wide doors with springs and openers that residential crews don’t stock. We bring the right kit or we don’t take the job.
- Ignoring bridge choke points between Memphis and West Memphis. The Mississippi River allows only a handful of crossings. A crew that doesn’t account for I-55 bridge traffic or the Frisco Bridge’s commercial restrictions can lose two hours before noon. Our dispatch plans these routes daily.
- Skipping climate control through Memphis’s brutal summers. Generic storage units without humidity management ruin wood furniture, warp guitar bodies, and fry electronics. We flag this risk during estimate and recommend climate-controlled storage when Memphis’s summer index demands it.

FAQs - Moving & Storage in Memphis
Yes, we bring heavy-duty spring kits and openers sized for oversized workshop doors, and we confirm hardware needs during your free survey. Our techs recently worked a ranch on a long gravel drive off Airways Boulevard, where the homeowner needed a 10-foot-wide workshop door moved to storage. We brought the heavy-duty spring kit, swapped the opener, and used the storage-in-transit unit to haul the contents in one shot - no second run, even with the summer heat index at 105°F. Call (855) 890-3455 to discuss your workshop setup.
We measure access during the survey and staff for hand-carry relays or shuttle trucks if a 26-foot box truck can’t navigate the full length. Memphis’s rural eastern and southern fringes feature acreage properties with drives that eat a standard crew’s whole day if not planned for. One trip is our standard. Call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll scout your access before quote day.
Yes, short-term storage in Memphis runs $90-$400 per month with prorated weekly options available for gap coverage between closing dates. We inventory, photograph, and hold until your new keys are in hand. Call (855) 890-3455 to reserve space for your dates.
Climate-controlled storage and transport is the only reliable protection against Memphis’s Gulf-driven humidity, which warps wood faster than in drier Southern cities. Our climate-controlled trucks and storage units maintain stable conditions, and we wrap furniture in breathable materials that don’t trap moisture. For antiques or instruments, full-value protection is included on everything we pack. Call (855) 890-3455 to add climate control to your move plan.
Yes, we’ve moved pianos from 38104 and 38107 Craftsman bungalows and shotgun houses where alley access or a 75-foot hand-carry relay is the only option. Our crews carry Milwaukee-powered equipment and piano-specific straps, and we confirm freight elevator reliability for Downtown lofts during survey. The narrow stoop and no-garage reality of Midtown is standard planning for us, not a surprise. Call (855) 890-3455 for a binding quote that accounts for your specific access.
