How a move books with us

From first message to last box — three Elite Moving steps

1

Send us the inventory

Bedrooms, the Hixson or Greater Chattanooga address at both ends, the move date, any HOA or building rules — one short form. Nothing to pay to ask.

2

Elite Moving signs a flat rate

One binding figure back in writing, usually inside the hour on weekdays. No hourly meter ticking, no day-of surprises waiting in the driveway.

3

Our truck and crew show up

Uniformed W-2 movers on our own Elite Moving truck arrive in the agreed window and carry the whole job, start to finish, same crew both ends.

What goes into the number

How Elite Moving prices a Hixson & Greater Chattanooga move

Every flat rate we sign rides on the same six factors. On the walkthrough call we account for each one and roll them into a single signed amount — the same way for a Red Bank studio and a four-bedroom East Brainerd colonial.

01Volume on the truckYour inventory drives crew size and truck size. A North Shore one-bedroom and a Big Ridge three-floor split-level land in different price tiers.
02Driveways, stairs & accessLong Hixson driveways, finished basements, ridge-home walk-out levels, narrow Soddy-Daisy lake stairs and dock transfers all add hands and minutes on the clock.
03Distance and routeA Hixson to East Brainerd hop across the river prices differently from an I-75 long-haul to Knoxville or Atlanta — fuel and drive time get baked in up front.
04Packing scopeYou can box it yourself, hand the Elite Moving crew a partial pack, or let us wrap the whole house. Both options fit inside the same signed-up-front flat rate.
05HOA paperwork & arrival windowSome lakefront and ridge communities need a COI, a notified gate guard, or a strict arrival window — Lacey files the paperwork ahead so the truck is cleared on arrival.
06Specialty itemsA piano, a gun safe, a slate billiard table or a heavy gym rack calls for extra rigging and an extra mover or two on the day — folded straight into the flat figure.
What rides on our truck

Gear Elite Moving brings to every Hixson & Greater Chattanooga job

North-side Tennessee housing runs the gamut — original hardwood inside North Shore brick bungalows, long Hixson driveways with red Tennessee clay, steep Signal Mountain switchbacks with winter ice on the grade, plus leaf-litter and road salt tracked in off the porch. Before the first box leaves the truck, floor runners and door pads go down first.

Heavy quilted pads

Furniture pieces ride wrapped in thick padded blankets and cinched tight before it leaves the room.

Shrink-wrap & stretch film

Stretch film locks drawers, doors and sectional cushions shut, sealing upholstery off from red clay, leaf-litter and a spring Tennessee shower on the driveway.

Floor & doorway armor

Heavy runners roll out across the carry path and padded guards go onto every jamb, so original hardwood and trim never take a scuff from a steel-toe boot.

Custom crating on site

Mirrors, glass tabletops, framed art and flat-screens ride in crates Wyatt and the team cut on site, corners braced and padded for the lake or ridge road.

Disassemble & reassemble

Beds, dining sets, sectionals and flat-pack wardrobes get broken down before they roll and go back together — every bolt accounted for — at the new Hixson address.

Straps, dollies & ramp boards

Rated tie-downs, four-wheel dollies, stair-climbing dollies and ramp boards for steep ridge driveways and lake-house dock steps — it all rides with the Elite Moving crew.

Your move day

How a day with Elite Moving runs

First call

Heads-up before we roll

Dispatcher Brett Coker rings ahead with a tight arrival window, so you are not stuck guessing when the Elite Moving truck turns off Hixson Pike onto your driveway.

At the door

Walk-through with the crew chief

The crew chief walks room to room with you, flags what loads first, calls out the tight turns, the stair count and the driveway grade, then sets the carry order.

Before lift

Wrap, pad & protect

Furniture goes blanketed and shrink-wrapped, runners roll out across hardwood, jamb guards click onto every doorway, and the porch step gets matted against red clay.

Loading

Built to ride tight

Weight stacks low and snug on the truck, every piece tied off to the wall — nothing budges on a US-27 pothole, a TN-153 bridge seam or a long I-75 pull.

On the road

Same crew, same truck

The team that loaded the truck in Hixson drives the whole route — GPS-tracked, never handed off to a stranger or a second carrier at an I-75 yard.

New address

Placed where you want it

Boxes land in the rooms they belong in, furniture goes where you point, and anything the crew took apart gets reassembled on the spot.

Walk-out

Final walk with you

We loop the new spot one last time together and the truck does not roll out of the driveway until every piece is sitting exactly where you want it.

Trent Holloway, owner of Elite Moving
From the owner

I’m Trent — born and raised in North Chattanooga

I’m Trent Holloway, and Elite Moving is mine. I grew up on the north side of Chattanooga between Hixson and North Shore, then ran warehouse and freight logistics around Hamilton County and the Volkswagen plant corridor before opening this company in 2011 on one rule: the flat price gets signed in writing before the truck leaves the yard. Office manager Lacey McCallum handles your COIs and HOA paperwork, dispatcher Brett Coker runs the daily truck board, and crew chiefs Wyatt Pruitt, Jamel Cargill and Hayden Ferraro lead the trucks — Hayden takes the lake homes and the mountain switchbacks. Our whole roster is full-time W-2 with background checks — never temp labor, never subcontracted, never brokered.

  • Owner-run in Hixson since 2011

Our paperwork

Fully licensed, bonded & insured

Elite Moving is a real Hixson, TN moving company — not a broker, not a matching service, not a referral network. Every credential standing behind our trucks is on file and ready for any HOA, leasing office or property manager who asks.

Tennessee household-goods movers licenseWe hold a Tennessee household-goods movers license to haul household goods anywhere across the state — on the books, above board, no broker layers between you and the truck.
US DOT & MC authorityActive federal authority for interstate work — runs up I-75 to Knoxville or down to Atlanta, west on I-24 to Nashville, or out to Birmingham and Asheville are driven by our crew, never farmed out.
Up to $1,000,000 cargo coverageEach Elite Moving load travels with up to $1,000,000 in cargo protection, and full-value valuation is on the table whenever you want it.
Workers’ comp & liabilityEvery mover on the job carries comp and liability, so if anyone gets hurt working in your home or shop, that lands on our policy — never on you or your HOA.

Want to review our license & insurance documents before booking? Ask the Elite Moving office — we will send the Tennessee licensing on file, the COI template and the insurance certificate the same day.

Where Elite Moving works

Covering Hixson & the rest of Greater Chattanooga

From Hixson and North Shore across to Red Bank, Soddy-Daisy and Lakesite on Chickamauga Lake, up the ridge to Signal Mountain and Walden, over the river to East Brainerd and Ooltewah, and down across the TN/GA line to Ringgold and Fort Oglethorpe — find your neighborhood below, or just call.

Long-distance

Routes Elite Moving drives out of Hixson

Northeast up I-75 to Knoxville and beyond; southeast on I-75 through Georgia to Atlanta; west on I-24 to Nashville and Memphis; south on I-59 to Birmingham; plus the longer runs over to Asheville and Charlotte, up to Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and out to St Louis — every mile gets driven by our own Elite Moving crew, GPS-tracked door to door, on the federal authority we hold ourselves.

Worth knowing

What Hixson and North Chattanooga families ask Elite Moving before they book

Are you a moving company?
Yes — Elite Moving is a fully licensed and insured Hixson, TN moving company running our own trucks and uniformed crew, with a Tennessee household-goods movers license and US DOT and MC authority. Every shipment rides under up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage.
How does Elite Moving lock in the price — flat rate or hourly?
Both options are on the table, but most Hixson families pick the binding flat number. We weigh the inventory, the driveway grade, the stair count and the miles, then sign one figure in writing before we load. If hourly fits better — a quick North Shore studio, say — you choose 2 movers + truck at $125/hr or 3 movers + truck at $175/hr, 1-hour minimum, fully equipped.
Can our crew handle a Signal Mountain switchback or a Chickamauga Lake boat-house move?
That is the bulk of our calendar. Signal Mountain and Walden ridge homes off steep switchback roads ride on weight-rated trucks — crew chief Hayden Ferraro scouts the grade and the turning radius before we book. For Chickamauga Lake waterfronts in Lakesite and Soddy-Daisy, we plan boat-house transfers, dock steps and long lakefront driveways into the flat rate up front.
Do you cover the Volkswagen-plant corridor and out-of-Hamilton-County jobs?
Every week. We move households and small operations along the Volkswagen Chattanooga plant corridor, run jobs across Hamilton County, and cross the TN/GA state line down into Ringgold and Fort Oglethorpe for ranch-home moves. Office manager Lacey McCallum handles COIs and HOA paperwork ahead of move day so the crew is cleared the moment the truck pulls in.
On a long-distance run out of Hixson, who actually drives the truck?
Our crew. Elite Moving holds its own US DOT and MC authority, so the team that wraps your home in Hixson on Monday is the same team that rolls into Nashville, Knoxville, Atlanta, Birmingham, Asheville or Charlotte on the other end — long-haul lead Jamel Cargill drives the route, no broker hand-offs, no second carrier swapping your load at an I-75 yard.
