Brett Coker started Long Distance Movers in 2016 after watching too many Ocala families get burned by out-of-town outfits that could not handle an estate driveway or a July downpour. We have stayed small, local, and employee-run ever since.

How We Got Here

One truck and a two-man crew grew into a roster of about sixteen, a dozen of them out on the trucks daily. Office manager Shannon Pryor answers the phone, dispatcher Delia Marsh builds the daily board, and crew chiefs Dwayne, Tyler, and Reggie run the jobs.

What We Stand On

  • Every mover is a trained, background-checked employee on our payroll.
  • The written binding price you approve is the price you pay.
  • We plan around hurricane season, afternoon storms, and sandy estate lanes.
  • Heirloom pieces and everyday furniture alike get pad-wrapped before the door.

We are not a broker or a matching site. When you book us, our own crew and our own trucks show up.

Brett Coker — 10 years moving Ocala families

“I wanted Ocala families to get one honest flat price and a crew that treats a house — and a lifetime of belongings — like their own”

Grew up in Marion County, out past the horse farms. Today Brett personally oversees every move so what you’re quoted is what you pay, and the crew that shows up is the crew we trained.

02 Why us

A real moving company — not a broker

Book us and you get our trucks, our crew, and our name on the job. A broker just resells your move to whoever bids lowest, then steps out of the picture.

Long Distance Movers
  • Our own trucks and full-time, background-checked crew
  • One flat rate in writing — quoted is what you pay
  • The same crew loads your home and unloads it
  • Licensed & insured with USDOT/MC authority
  • One local office, one point of contact, start to finish
A typical broker
  • Resells your job to whatever carrier bids lowest
  • Surprise fees and re-quotes on moving day
  • Strangers you never spoke to show up to load
  • Hard to pin down who is actually liable
  • A call center, not a local crew
