Mead Movers
Eight miles north on US-2, Mead sits at the edge of the Green Bluff orchard country — subdivision homes near the schools giving way to acreage, outbuildings, and quarter-mile gravel driveways the farther north you go. We have run these lanes since Dave started the company in 2010.

The homes we load here
Mead splits into two jobs: tidy subdivision homes near the schools and the orchard-edge acreage with the real work in the outbuildings. Sara Pettinger reads both ahead.
| Where it sits | What the move involves |
|---|---|
| School-area subdivision home | A full two-story household, often with a daylight basement and one long stair run |
| Green Bluff acreage parcel | A pole barn, a shop, and a tractor shed of accumulation Brett Lawson crates and wraps first |
| Quarter-mile gravel driveway | Too long and soft for a 26-footer to the door, so we shuttle the load down in a smaller truck |
Getting the truck to the door
In the subdivisions the driveway is genuine and the truck parks at the door. The acreage is where the planning pays off.
- Scout the lane — Greg Pettinger checks the gravel length, the soft shoulders, and the turnaround from dispatch.
- Shuttle the long drives — where a quarter-mile lane won’t take the big truck, we run the load down in a smaller one.
- Clear the outbuildings — the barn and the shop usually hold the bulk, so Brett cartons them ahead of the furniture.
What you can count on
One flat rate in writing, our own trucks, our own crews — no broker, no load board.
Winter on the gravel
A January ice storm glazes the long Green Bluff lanes solid. We’ll move a date before sending a loaded truck up an iced gravel grade, and the figure on your written quote doesn’t budge when we do.
