ABOUT US

Since 2013 — eighty movers, twenty trucks, one promise.

Jasmine Carter’s own move in 2012 went so badly — late crew, broken dresser, surprise fees — that she decided to start the company she wished she had hired. Brightway did its first move in 2013 with one rented truck.

Today we have eighty movers, twenty trucks and a warehouse on the West Side. We still never subcontract, never charge for stairs and always set up the beds first.
