Some movers only want the whole-house jobs. We built four decades on the moves everyone else turns down — the small ones, the odd ones, the last-minute ones — and we treat every box like it's the only one on the truck.

Locally owned and operated since 1983, we're more than just movers — we're problem solvers. One honest price, one careful crew, no surprises when the ramp comes down.

What we move

Big enough to handle it. Small enough to care.

From one heavy item to a full apartment — the same trusted San Francisco crew, priced honestly by the hour with no minimum.

01

Single Item & Small Moves

The couch, the fridge, the antique dresser — the jobs the national vans won't touch. Our specialty since day one.
02

Residential & Apartment

Studios, walk-ups, and whole homes across the city and the Bay — padded, wrapped, and carried up every last flight.
03

Same-Building Moves

Moving down the hall or up a floor? We shuffle offices and apartments within the same building, fast.
04

Small Office Moves

Desks, files, and equipment relocated with minimal downtime — scheduled around your business hours.
05

Loading & Unloading

Renting a truck, POD, or container? Put our muscle and technique to work loading or unloading it right.
06

Storage Moves

Into storage, out of storage, or unit to unit — we handle the heavy lifting on both ends.
07

Same-Day Pack & Move

Need to be out today? We'll pack it up and move it out in a single visit when the clock is against you.
08

Emergency & Last-Minute

Plans fell through? Landlord issue? We answer the call when other movers are booked solid.
The promise

The price we quote is the price you pay.

No padding the clock. No surprise fuel charge. No mystery surcharge when the truck is loaded. Just honest, flat pricing — the reason customers say we beat the quote and the competition.

Why SF keeps calling back

Forty years, one honest reputation.

“I've used One Big Man & One Big Truck I think 6 times over many years, and they've been fantastic every time!”— Buz R. · Yelp review

  • No hourly minimum. You pay for the time your move takes — not a padded block you never used.
  • On time, every time. Reviewers rank our punctuality among our top strengths — we arrive in the window we promise.
  • Careful with your things. Everything wrapped and handled like it's ours — belongings first, always.
  • Friendly, easy-going crews. The most-repeated word in our reviews. Moving is stressful — we make the day painless.

“I've now completed 6 successful, amazing moves with this team since 2012. Every time I walk away wondering how they made it look so easy.”

Michael K. · Yelp
★★★★★

“We hired OBM because they quoted us the lowest price — but they turned out to be the best, too. I highly doubt other movers could top them.”
