Colbert Movers

Hardly a week goes by without an insured Pettinger Family Movers truck working a street somewhere in Colbert. 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 Colbert 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.

Colbert Movers

Twelve miles north on US-2, Colbert is rolling acreage country between Spokane and Green Bluff — large custom homes on big parcels, pole barns and shops, and long gravel driveways set well back from the road. We have run these lanes since Dave started the company in 2010.

The homes we load here

Colbert is bigger homes on bigger lots, with outbuildings that hold a lot of the volume. Sara Pettinger reads the full inventory ahead.

Where it sits What the move involves
Large custom acreage home A full-volume two-story, often with a daylight basement and one long stair run
Pole barn and shop Tools, equipment, and storage shelving Brett Lawson crates, wraps, and boxes first
Long set-back gravel drive Too long or soft for a full rig, so we shuttle the load to the road

Getting the truck to the door

The parcels are open with room for a full rig, so the planning is the lane and the season.

  • Set-back gravel drives scouted by Greg Pettinger from dispatch
  • A shuttle in a smaller truck where the lane won’t take the 26-footer
  • Pole barns and shops cartoned ahead of the furniture
  • Daylight-basement stair runs in the bigger homes carried level

What you can count on

One flat rate in writing, our own trucks, our own crews — never a load-board handoff.

Winter on the north acreage

The long Colbert lanes ice over in a January storm, and we’ll move a date before sending a loaded truck up an iced gravel grade. Nothing on your written quote changes when we do.

Pricing for a Colbert move

How a Colbert 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 Colbert 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.

Colbert moving, your questions

Answers for your Colbert move

My house sits way back on a gravel drive. Can you reach it?
That's everyday Colbert work. Greg checks the set-back lane from the dispatch desk, and when the gravel is too long or soft for the full 26-footer, we shuttle your load to the road in a smaller truck so nothing gets stuck on the climb.
Will you pack a pole barn or a shop?
As much as you want. On the Colbert parcels the pole barn and the shop usually hold a lot of the volume, so Brett cartons and crates the tools, equipment, and shelving before the furniture rolls and the unload stays organized.
There's a daylight basement in the house. Does that slow things down?
A little, and we plan for it. The bigger Colbert homes often have a finished daylight basement off one long stair run, so Travis reads the staircase up front and the crew carries the long pieces up level instead of dragging them around the turn.
Do you own the trucks that come up my Colbert driveway?
A licensed Washington mover — WUTC HG-64217, USDOT/MC authority — with trucks we own and crews we employ. Your Colbert move stays with our people start to finish, never sold to a broker or a load board.

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.
