Owner-Operated, Eight Employees: Savannah Movers Since 2016

One yard on Louisville Road, six trucks, eight people — nothing subcontracted out to a name you’d have to look up. Selena answers most calls herself, and if yours involves a tricky address near the squares she’ll loop in Beauregard "Beau" Tillman directly, no matter where in Savannah and the coastal Georgia lowcountry you’re calling from.

Cordell prices every estimate himself, same afternoon it comes in — no call center, no third-party dispatcher relaying your Savannah move to someone else.

Beau Tillman could find his way around the one-way streets circling Savannah’s squares before he could parallel park anywhere else in the state. He grew up on Wilmington Island, and most weekends as a teenager meant riding along while his uncle ran a small hauling outfit out of a rented lot on Louisville Road — the same road the office sits on today. By the time Beau had an actual license, he already knew which downtown blocks a truck could turn onto and which ones would strand you for an hour behind a delivery van.

That knowledge sat unused for a few years while Beau worked as a foreman for an Atlanta-based van line’s Savannah satellite crew. Four years in that seat showed him the side of the business customers rarely see: dispatch would quote a number over the phone, and by the time the truck was parked at the curb, the driver was collecting a different one. Beau ran solid crews there, but he got tired of standing in someone’s driveway explaining a number he hadn’t set himself.

In 2016 he opened his own outfit off Louisville Road and made one rule he still enforces personally: whatever figure goes out with the estimate is the figure that gets signed for at the end, full stop. A decade of moves later, that rule hasn’t loosened, even as the company grew around it — Honest Moving Company now runs six trucks and eight people, every one of them on payroll and trained the way Beau was trained.

Selena Marsh has run the office since 2018 and keeps the schedule from unraveling during hurricane season. Cordell Ashby has handled estimates and dispatch since 2020, and he’s usually the one walking you through your number before anything gets booked. Crew chiefs Trey Bonnet, with the company since 2017, and Yolanda Pruitt, since 2022, lead the two teams that actually carry the furniture.

The detail that sets this company apart from most movers advertising around coastal Georgia isn’t the pricing rule — plenty of outfits claim something similar. It’s the shuttle truck. Twenty-two historic squares mean a good stretch of downtown Savannah runs on narrow, one-way streets that a standard 26-foot box truck can’t legally turn onto, let alone park along. Rather than block a street for an afternoon or turn the job away, Beau keeps a smaller truck in the yard built specifically for historic-district addresses, and the crew transfers the load curbside instead. It’s a logistics problem particular to this city, and it’s the one Beau built his operation around solving instead of avoiding.

We hold our own Georgia household-goods registration and our own interstate authority — this isn’t a site that collects your information and passes it along to whichever truck happens to bid lowest. Beau still reviews the schedule most mornings, and from May through September he has the crews rolling early with water and shade breaks built into the day, because a Savannah July has no patience for anyone’s rules.

How It Actually Started

He Learned These Streets Before He Ever Had A License

Beau Tillman grew up on Wilmington Island, riding along and then working alongside his uncle’s small hauling outfit, run out of a rented lot on Louisville Road — that’s where he learned Savannah’s historic-square back streets and one-way turns years before he was old enough to hold a license. Four years as a foreman for an Atlanta-based van line’s Savannah satellite crew taught him the part of the business he liked least: dispatch would quote a family one number over the phone, and a driver would stand on their porch asking for a different one. He opened his own outfit off Louisville Road in 2016, and the rule he still enforces himself hasn’t moved since — whatever number goes out with the estimate is the number that gets signed for.

Every Name Here Draws A Honest Moving Paycheck

Selena, Cordell, Trey, and Yolanda run this company day to day, and all eight of us are on our own payroll. Nobody gets called in for a busy Saturday off a gig app, and nobody carries a box into your home who wasn’t trained by this crew first.

Savannah’s Historic Squares Get A Smaller Truck, Not A Turned-Down Job

A standard 26-foot box truck can’t make the one-way turns around most of Savannah’s 22 historic squares. Beau keeps a smaller shuttle truck in rotation for those addresses — it parks where the block allows, and the crew transfers the load curbside instead of blocking a one-way street or turning the job down.

Cordell Won’t Quote What He Hasn’t Seen

A guess made over the phone almost always misses something — a crawl space, a second staircase, a piano nobody mentioned. So Cordell walks every job himself, in person around town or by video for anyone farther out, before he’ll put a number on paper. Slower for him, but it means nobody argues about the invoice later.

We Turned Down The Second Location

A regional broker offered to license the Honest Moving name to a crew two counties over a few years back. Beau said no — he’d be signing off on estimates from people he’d never met, for a company he couldn’t actually vouch for. Eight people, one address, is the trade he’d make again.

Beau Or Cordell Picks Up — Not A Call Center

Nobody transfers your call to a dispatch center three states away — whoever answers already knows the job. Most written estimates go out the same day you call.
