About Us

Marcus Whitfield spent nine years before this company scheduling loading docks and delivery routes for a High Point furniture wholesaler that shipped out of a distribution center here in the Triangle. His job was keeping the same two-man crews on every multi-stop delivery run, so nothing sat unaccounted for in a trailer overnight between stops. It’s a small habit for a furniture business, but Marcus noticed it was the one thing that made deliveries go right, and he built an entire moving company around it when he launched Hands 2 Hands Moving in 2013.

What actually pushed him to start the company was hearing the same complaint over and over from people who’d just moved to Raleigh: one crew wrapped their sofa and loaded the truck in the morning, and by evening a completely different crew carried it into the new place with a fresh dent nobody could explain. Nobody on either end could say what happened to their things in between. Marcus decided that if he ever ran his own trucks, that handoff wouldn’t exist.

Thirteen years and more than 6,500 moves later, that’s still the rule every job runs on. Julian Askew, our dispatch and route coordinator since 2019, builds each day’s schedule around I-40 and I-440 Beltline traffic specifically so a crew never gets pulled off a job to plug a gap somewhere else — the people assigned to your move stay assigned to your move. Priya Nandakumar handles in-home and video walkthrough estimates herself and stays the single point of contact all the way through move day, so you’re explaining your inventory once, to one person, not re-explaining it to whoever picks up the phone next.

On the trucks, Reggie Poteat has run the same four-man crew for six years and makes a point of being the last man off at the destination — the hands that wrapped a piece are the hands setting it back down. Camille Sturgis trains every new hire on dish-pack and crating technique before they’re allowed near a client’s china, and stays on full-pack jobs from the first taped box to the last one unloaded. Dante Broadnax drives our Charlotte, Richmond, and DC runs himself and rides the route with the crew through the unload, not just to the state line.

Marcus still rides along on moves out to Wake Forest and Fuquay-Varina a few times a month — partly to keep a hand in the work, partly because after thirteen years he still knows which light on Poole Rd backs up worst at 5pm. We’ve grown to cover local moves, long-distance runs, packing, storage, and commercial relocations across Wake County and the Research Triangle, but the one rule Marcus started with hasn’t moved: whoever loads your truck is who unloads it. No exceptions, no subcontractors, no strangers partway through.
