Triangle Labor Services is a Raleigh, North Carolina–based moving company. We hold the operating authority, we own the trucks, and we employ our crew on W–2. Family-owned since 2014, working out of 4801 Glenwood Ave in Raleigh.
Brandon Hartwell founded the company after six years dispatching for a regional household-goods carrier out of Charlotte. He got tired of watching Wake County families get sandbagged with last-minute fuel charges, vague hourly tabs, and ghost crews from out-of-town brokers. So he started a small local outfit that quotes flat-rate in writing, hires its own movers, and rides along on tricky jobs.
What we do, in plain terms
We move households. Local moves inside Wake County, intrastate North Carolina runs to Richmond and Washington DC, and long-distance moves out of Raleigh NC to anywhere in the Southeast. The crew you book is the crew that shows up. The flat-rate on your written quote is the flat-rate you pay at delivery. No hourly traps, no fuel surcharge added at the end, no rebill.
Our operating authority and insurance
We carry NC HHG (household goods) registration with the North Carolina Department of Transportation for intrastate moves. For long-distance interstate work we hold our own USDOT and MC operating authority — we do not subcontract long-distance runs out to a broker chain. Every move carries $1M cargo liability at minimum; Full Value Protection (declared-value coverage) is available as a paid upgrade for fragile or high-value shipments.
Certificates of Insurance are available same-day for HOAs, property managers, and commercial buildings that require COIs before moving day. Tanesha, who handles intake, sends those over by email as soon as the building manager requests one.
The team you’ll actually talk to
- Brandon Hartwell — Owner and operations lead. Walks every quote personally and rides along on tricky jobs (lake-area long carries, downtown walk-ups, piano work).
- Tanesha Williams — Customer intake and scheduling. First voice you hear when you call. Books your date and confirms truck size for your inventory.
- Wesley Carter — Move coordinator. Runs day-of logistics: crew assignment, COI delivery, freight elevator booking, post-move walk-through.
- Priya Kapoor — Estimator. Builds your written flat-rate from inventory + access + add-ons. No hidden line items.
- Jamal Robinson + Kyle McAllister — Crew chiefs. Marcus runs the local Wake County crew; Derek runs the interstate long-distance team.
- Plus 8 full-time W–2 movers, all background-checked, no day-labor.
How we’re different from the broker chain
The trap most Raleigh NC families fall into: an out-of-state “moving company” that’s actually a broker. You get a quote from a call center, then the actual move gets sold to whichever local carrier picks it up that week. The crew that shows up is a stranger. The flat-rate gets rebilled at delivery. You have no one to call when something gets damaged.
We don’t do any of that. The number you call (+1 (888) 711-4778) is our office in Raleigh. The crew that shows up on move day is on our payroll. The quote Priya sends is the binding flat-rate Brandon signs off on. If something on the quote looks off, Brandon’ line is on the document.
What it costs to get a quote
Nothing. Quotes are free, in writing, with no obligation. Submit the form on this page (or any page on the site) with your origin ZIP, destination ZIP, target move date, and home size. We get back within one business hour with a written flat-rate quote based on inventory, access, and any add-ons (packing, piano, gun safe, etc.).
If you’re comparing us against other movers, that’s fine — we want you to compare. We just ask that you compare written flat-rate quotes against other written flat-rate quotes, not against an hourly estimate that can balloon on move day.
