In this Movified Mondays Roundtable, host Mark Hirschi (Salmon’s Moving & Storage) is joined by movers and leaders Austin Yarborough (Central Coast Moving / Pearson Moving), Neacail Murdock (Murdock’s Moving & Storage), Matt Young (iHaul iMove / Moving Letters.ai), and Josh Shipman (Coastal Carrier) for a real, no-fluff conversation about what’s working—and what’s not—in the moving industry today.
This is more than a check-in. It’s a raw look at the strategies, struggles, and wins of operators in the trenches. From HR systems and CRM tools to team culture, branding, automation, and expansion plans, this conversation covers the real-life side of growing and sustaining a moving company in 2025.
🔑 Topics Covered:
- HR compliance & BambooHR rollouts
- CRM + phone integrations (Smart Moving, Supermove, Dialpad)
- Team leadership, crew culture & internal trust
- Marketing tests: voicemail drops, Instagram ads, AI-driven lead tools
- Affiliate programs & “moving minutes” for referrals
- Balancing growth with sustainability and values
