All Out Moving & Storage is a locally operated moving company handling residential and commercial relocations within Chattanooga, across Tennessee, and to points outside the state. The company offers both local hourly moves and long-distance flat-rate jobs, along with climate-controlled storage options, positioning itself as a middle ground between independent owner-operator movers and large national chains.
The company manages local moves (same-day or scheduled), long-distance relocations, and month-to-month storage. Local jobs are typically quoted hourly with a crew of two to four movers; long-distance moves are usually priced by weight or cubic footage with a binding estimate. Storage units range from small lockers to 10x20 climate-controlled bays. The operation runs from a location on the south side of Chattanooga and serves residential clients, small businesses, and property managers needing temporary overflow space.
Local moves are charged at an hourly rate (verification recommended, as rates adjust seasonally); expect a two-mover minimum for residential jobs. Long-distance moves require a phone or in-person estimate based on inventory weight or volume. Storage starts around $75 to $150 per month for climate-controlled units, depending on size; pricing is month-to-month with no long-term contract required. Most quotes include packing materials and basic equipment (dollies, straps, furniture pads). Specialty services such as piano moving or heavy antique handling carry surcharges. A standard deposit equal to one month of storage or a percentage of the moving estimate is typical before work begins.
National chains like United Van Lines and Allied have larger fleets and can absorb cross-country volume more easily, but they charge premium rates and often require longer lead times. Local independent movers typically charge lower hourly rates ($80 to $120 per hour for two movers) but may lack insured storage or a permanent facility. All Out bridges the gap: licensed and insured, with a fixed Chattanooga location and storage on-site, yet more flexible on timeline and estimate method than the big names. For a residential move within Hamilton County or a three-state drive, All Out is competitive. For a 2,000-mile coast-to-coast job, a national carrier might offer better long-haul logistics.
All Out works well for Chattanooga homeowners downsizing or relocating regionally, small business office moves, and anyone needing 1 to 12 months of accessible storage near the city. The hourly model suits moves with uncertain scope (an estate sale or hoard situation where cubic footage cannot be predicted). It is less ideal for customers who require a guaranteed delivery date across multiple states (national chains lock in timelines better) or those seeking ultra-premium white-glove service and full unpacking (specialty movers handle that niche). Budget-conscious local moves may find cheaper independent operators; large corporate relocations usually require workforce relocation specialists.
For local moves, customers typically call or use the website to request a phone estimate; a crew chief may ask questions about stairs, distance, and item fragility. For moves exceeding 50 miles or requiring storage, a technician usually visits the home or office to assess volume and complexity, then provides a binding or non-binding estimate within 24 to 48 hours. Storage inquiries can be handled entirely by phone; a credit application and move-in inspection are standard. Deposits are due before the moving date; payment methods typically include cash, check, or card.
All Out operates Monday through Saturday, with Sunday moves available by special request (verification recommended, as holiday hours vary). The main office and storage facility are located on the south side, convenient to I-75 and I-24 access. Parking for a moving truck on a residential Chattanooga street may require a temporary permit from the city; the company can advise on this during booking. Online booking and customer portals are available; real-time GPS tracking on long-distance moves is standard. In-state moves typically complete within 3 to 10 business days; long-distance timelines depend on distance and seasonal demand.
All Out fills a practical role for Chattanooga residents who need reliable, insured moving labor and don't want to rely on friend favors or hire a solo operator without recourse. The on-site storage and licensed operation separate it from the informal economy.
