About Young Buck Movers
in Tacoma, WA
Young Buck Movers is a Tacoma-based moving company owned and operated by Brant Powers. We handle residential moves, commercial jobs, packing, furniture moves, and truck loading across the South Sound—with a real local crew that shows up ready to work.
Who We Are and What We Do
Young Buck Movers is a moving company based in Tacoma, Washington. We serve homeowners, renters, and businesses across the South Sound—handling everything from full household moves to single-item furniture deliveries, packing jobs, truck loading, and home staging.
We're not a national franchise or a dispatch platform. We're a small local operation. The people who answer the phone are the same people who work the jobs. That means you get consistent service and someone you can actually talk to if something comes up.
Owner Brant Powers built the company around a straightforward approach: show up on time, handle belongings carefully, charge what you quoted, and communicate throughout. Every job we take runs that way—whether it's a one-bedroom apartment move or a full commercial relocation.

- Commercial Moving (offices, retail, equipment)
- Furniture Moving & Heavy-Item Help
- Packing & Unpacking Services
- Truck Loading & Unloading (U-Haul, PODS, rentals)
- Home Staging & Furniture Rearranging
How Young Buck Movers Got Started
Brant Powers started Young Buck Movers in Tacoma after seeing how often moving companies let people down. Late arrivals. Subcontractors who didn't care. Pricing that changed after the truck was already loaded. He knew how to do the work and wanted to build something he'd actually stand behind.
"I started this because I knew I could do it better. Show up, do the job right, charge what you said you would. That's not complicated—but a lot of companies don't actually do it."
— Brant Powers, OwnerThe first jobs came through word of mouth—neighbors in Lakewood, a family relocating from University Place, a business clearing out a warehouse in Fife. Brant worked every one of them himself. As the company grew, he brought on crew members who held the same standard: treat someone's belongings like your own, move efficiently without cutting corners, and communicate clearly from the first call to the last box off the truck.
Young Buck Movers hasn't grown through big ad budgets or cold calls. It's grown because customers come back when they move again—and because they send family and friends who need help next. After years of working South Sound moves, that's still how most of our work comes in, and Brant considers it the best measure of whether the company is doing things right.
What We're Known For on Moving Day
Four things every customer can count on, no matter the size or distance of the job.
Showing Up on Time and Ready to Work
We confirm job details the day before and arrive with the right equipment in the truck. You won't be waiting on a crew that didn't plan ahead or has to make a supply run before they start.
Careful With Everything We Touch
Furniture gets wrapped. Fragile items get padded and protected. We take the extra few minutes up front so we're not dealing with damage on the other end. Shrink wrap and moving blankets come on every job.
Our Crew—Not Subcontractors
We don't dispatch strangers or outsource jobs to third-party labor. The people who load your home are Young Buck Movers employees with real experience. Same crew, every time—people with a direct stake in doing the job right.
Honest Estimates, No Surprises at the End
We tell you what the job will cost before we start. If something changes during the move, we tell you before it affects the price—not after the truck is unloaded. What we quoted is what you pay.

Meet the Owner and Crew
Brant Powers owns Young Buck Movers and works moves alongside the crew. That's not a talking point—it's just how he runs the company. He didn't build Young Buck Movers to hand it off to someone else. He's on job sites regularly, which means the standard he holds himself to is the same one the crew operates by every day.
Brant started the company in Tacoma because he saw a gap: too many moving companies were using subcontractors, treating customers as transactions, and leaving people with no real recourse when something went wrong. He wanted to do it differently—small, local, accountable, and good at the actual work.
The crew Brant has put together shares that mindset. These are people who've worked enough South Sound moves to know what Tacoma's older homes look like on the inside, how to navigate apartment elevator reservations, and why you wrap the furniture before anything goes near the truck. They're not dispatched from a staffing pool—they're part of the company, and they work like it.
If you call Young Buck Movers, there's a real chance you'll talk to Brant directly. He'd rather have that conversation himself than have information lost in the handoff.
- Based in Tacoma, WA — serving the South Sound

Questions People Ask About Us
Honest answers to what most people want to know before they call.
Young Buck Movers is owned and operated by Brant Powers. Brant started the company in Tacoma and still works moves alongside the crew. He's hands-on—not an owner who passes the work off to a manager and stays behind a desk. When you call, there's a good chance you'll talk to him directly.

Yes. Young Buck Movers is fully licensed, bonded, and insured.

Being properly licensed isn't just a legal requirement; it's how we protect our customers.
We offer both. We can pack your full home, specific rooms, or just the fragile items you don't want to deal with yourself. We bring materials—boxes, packing paper, tape, and bubble wrap—or work with what you already have on hand. Just let us know what level of help you need when you book.
Yes. We regularly handle jobs where someone needs help with one room, a few large pieces, or furniture that won't make it up the stairs without extra hands. You don't have to book a full-service move to work with us. Call and describe what you need—we'll give you a straight answer and a fair estimate.
Two to three weeks is comfortable for most moves. Tacoma's busiest season runs from May through September, so if you're planning a summer move, earlier is better. That said, we take last-minute bookings when availability allows—call and ask. We'll tell you honestly what we can fit in and not leave you guessing.
