The exclusive advantage
Why "Exclusive" Matters for Your Move
Most long distance movers are actually brokers. They take your deposit, then sell your move to whoever bids lowest. You might not know who is actually moving your belongings until a truck you have never seen pulls up to your home. Read why moving brokers are not movers for the full playbook.
With Ontrack, there is no middleman. We own our trucks. We employ our friendly, detail-oriented crews who go above and beyond. The team that carefully wraps your grandmother's china and fragile antiques is the same team that places them in your new kitchen. One company, one point of contact, excellent communication throughout, and a highly organized process for an efficient, well-organized long distance experience.
What Exclusive Means for You
Predictable Dates
We schedule your pickup and delivery around your timeline, not a truck-filling quota.
Same Carrier, No Handoffs
Your move stays with Ontrack employees from origin to destination. No third-party subcontractors, no warehouse handoffs.
No Double-Handling
Your items are loaded once and unloaded once. No transfers between trucks or warehouses en route.
One Point of Contact
Questions? Call us. No finger-pointing between brokers and carriers. We own the entire process.

Broker blames carrier, carrier blames broker

Licensed and insured
Verify Before You Book
Anyone can put up a website and claim to be a mover. Before you trust your belongings to any company, verify their license through the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
We encourage you to look us up. Search for USDOT #2551548 in the SAFER database to see our operating authority, insurance status, and safety record. Legitimate movers are happy to be verified.
All interstate moves include $0.60 per pound per article coverage, the federal minimum for household goods carriers.
Because basic coverage may not fully protect high-value items, additional protection options are available. We review these choices before your move.

Ontrack Moving
USDOT #2551548
California License: CAL-T190721
Burlingame to Washington state
Ontrack Moving was fantastic. Paul came out to survey our storage locker and apartment and provided a fair bid for a move from Burlingame, CA to Oak Harbor, WA. He was able to meet our timeline for scheduling the load in and the big, two day drive up north. On the load in day, four Ontrack guys came and took care of the storage locker in short order followed by clearing out the apartment.

Oakland to Santa Barbara relocation
I recently hired OnTrack Moving for our family’s relocation from Oakland to a storage unit in Santa Barbara, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service we received. Mauricio and Victor handled our two-day move with exceptional professionalism and care. Both Mauricio and Victor as well as their Oakland crew, were incredibly polite and respectful throughout the entire process.

Exclusive long distance moving means your belongings travel on our truck with Ontrack employees from origin to destination. We do not broker your move to other carriers, transfer items between trucks, or combine your shipment with other customers. Same Ontrack carrier from load to delivery, no broker handoffs. This gives you predictable dates, consistent care, and one company accountable for everything.
Moving brokers take your deposit and sell your move to the lowest-bidding carrier. You often do not know who will actually move your belongings until they arrive at your door. Ontrack is a licensed carrier (USDOT #2551548) that performs every move with our own trucks and crews. You deal with one company from quote to delivery, with no middleman and a clear scope of work.
You can verify any moving company's license through the FMCSA SAFER database at safer.fmcsa.dot.gov. Search for USDOT #2551548 to see our operating authority, insurance status, and safety record. We encourage all customers to verify their mover before booking. Any legitimate company will be happy for you to check.
From our Bay Area location, we regularly serve routes to Arizona, Texas, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico. From Phoenix, we serve California, Texas, Colorado, Nevada, Utah, and New Mexico. These are our most frequent corridors, but we can discuss moves to other destinations. Contact us with your specific route.
All interstate moves include basic liability coverage at $0.60 per pound per article, which is the federal minimum for household goods carriers. Because this may not cover the full value of high-value items, additional protection is available. We review coverage options with you before your move. Learn more about insurance and protection →
Because we operate exclusively (not combined with other shipments), we provide specific delivery windows rather than vague date ranges like "sometime in the next 2-3 weeks." After confirming your move details, we schedule pickup and delivery dates that work for your timeline. No waiting for a truck to fill up. Clear delivery commitments.
No. With our exclusive service, your belongings are loaded once at your origin and unloaded once at your destination. We do not transfer items between trucks or storage facilities en route. This reduces handling, minimizes damage risk, and keeps your move on schedule. What goes on the truck in California is what comes off in Arizona, Texas, or wherever you are headed.
