Moving runs in our family. My oldest son started working for a neighbor's moving company when he was just 15, and he later built his own. He got his younger brother into the business, and then his younger brother convinced me to start one in Chicago. That's how The Muscle Guys began, with a simple idea: you rent the truck, and we bring the muscle.

We owe a big thank-you to U-Haul for welcoming us onto their Moving Help platform. It gave us the chance to prove ourselves one job at a time, and it's a big part of how we built this business.

In less than 4 years we've completed more than 5,000 moves and earned over 2,500 customer reviews. Out of 7,700+ providers in the US and Canada, we've ranked in the Top 100 three years in a row, climbing from #25 in 2024 to #4 in 2025.

We're woman-owned and owner-run, and every job matters to us. When you book with The Muscle Guys, you get an experienced crew lead with a name and phone number, not a call center.
