Cheney Movers

Hardly a week goes by without an insured Pettinger Family Movers truck working a street somewhere in Cheney. Each of those moves is quoted as one written flat rate before we start, and that number is what you pay when the truck is empty.

A Cheney quote in about a minute

Share a few quick details and what comes back is a single clear flat rate — the resident-permit parking and the Kendall Yards or downtown COI were folded into that number well before it reached your inbox.

Or call (888) 278-9005

Hit send and your note lands on a desk at our Spokane office; the written rate heads back your way and should reach you before the day wraps up. There is no charge for the figure and no string attached to asking — sit with the number as long as you like, since saying yes or no is entirely up to you. One of our own estimators, and no one else, builds your quote, and the details you share never travel past that desk.

✓ No spam. Whatever you put in these boxes has a single purpose: it lets the Pettinger family reach back out about the Spokane move you sketched for us. We do not sell it, we do not rent it, and we do not pass it to anyone outside the company — full stop. Rather get a text than a call? Say so, and the most that ever reaches you is whatever your own carrier charges for a message. The whole policy is laid out in our Privacy Policy any time you want to read it through.

Cheney Movers

Seventeen miles southwest on SR-904 off US-2, Cheney is Eastern Washington University’s town — a college core of rentals and small apartments wrapped in older single-family homes. The student calendar drives half our work here, and we have run it since 2010.

Move type What it involves
EWU apartment or rental house A walk-up or a shared stairwell, a tight August or June turnaround window, beds and desks to break down
Faculty or staff single-family home A full household with a basement or a garage workshop Brett Lawson cartons first
Student loading help Hourly muscle to pack a rented truck or pod tight so nothing shifts on the drive home

The homes we load here

Around campus it’s apartments and rentals on a clock; out in the older neighborhoods it’s full single-family households. Sara Pettinger sizes either one ahead.

  • Walk-up apartments and shared-stairwell rentals carried without scuffing the trim
  • Beds, desks, and bookcases broken down and rebuilt at the new place
  • Move-out and move-in windows booked tight against the EWU calendar
  • Loading-only help for a U-Haul or a pod when you’re driving it yourself

Getting the truck to the door

Cheney is flat and grid-laid, so access is rarely the problem — the calendar is.

Book early around the EWU calendar

The week classes start and the week the leases end, every truck in Cheney is spoken for, so Megan Pettinger gets your date on the schedule well ahead. Spokane winters glaze the SR-904 stretch, so we leave a margin in the run when there’s ice on the road in from US-2.

What you can count on

Our own trucks, our own crews, one flat rate in writing — no padding once the truck is loaded.

Pricing for a Cheney move

How a Cheney job is priced

Local move, charged by the hour

2-mover crewfrom $120/hr

That Inland Northwest rate rolls in the truck and every bit of gear loaded aboard it — quilted pads, dollies, floor runners, the lot. The clock opens on a three-hour block. For a typical Cheney job — a condo, a split-level, or a daylight-basement house with a stair run — the crew usually has the load wrapped up somewhere between the third and fifth hour.

Cheney moving, your questions

Answers for your Cheney move

Can you do a student apartment move around the EWU calendar?
That's a big share of our Cheney work. The trouble is timing, not the load — everyone moves the same week leases end, so Megan gets your date booked early, breaks down the beds and desks, and turns the walk-up without scuffing the trim.
I'm driving my own U-Haul. Can you just load it?
Yes, we do loading-only help by the hour. Our crew stacks a rented truck or pod tight and balanced so nothing shifts once you're on US-2 heading out, and you drive it from there.
What does a Cheney move run?
It's $120 an hour for two movers, $165 for three (two-hour minimum), or a flat rate in writing — a studio or one-bedroom student place is usually $450 to $650. Sara sets the figure after the walkthrough and that's what you pay, with nothing added later.
Do you run your own trucks and crews?
A licensed Washington mover — WUTC HG-64217, USDOT/MC authority — with trucks we own and crews we employ. Your Cheney move stays with our people, never handed to a broker or a load board.

Quoted price was accurate. The movers were very friendly and took great care in handling our furniture. Another huge benefit is they are much more responsive and easier to generate a quote than their competitors.

These roads are home turf

Long gravel driveways, a shuttle out to acreage, resident-permit parking, the COI a Kendall Yards building wants on file — that is just routine for our crew. Hand over the particulars, and the truck, the blankets, and our W-2 movers all show up together on the one quoted price, settled long before anybody picks up the first box.
