Hi, I’m Brent Baldree, owner and founder of HHG Movers. In 2015, with my wife’s encouragement and support I started HHG Movers with just a minivan, some moving blankets, a dolly and a vision of being the go to Moving company for all areas in South Georgia. My goal has always been to provide the BEST relocation experience to our customers and maintain a level of professionalism that is unmatched by our competitors.
I started this venture by providing labor only services to clients until I could afford to grow into a truck.
Roughly 2016 I bought my first truck for $8,000. I was excited to be able to offer full service to our customers and not have them rent a truck. It broke down after three moves. I was broken, but kept going. I had a vision. I worked towards getting into a newer truck and a few months later I was able to make a terrible deal and finance a $30,000 box truck. A few months later the truck has engine problems. $6,000 injector replacement bill. I’ve got $800 to my name. The only solution was to work harder, work more. My wife put up with my absence.
Roughly 2017 I was able to earn enough business to support a full time office helper. My office was in the living room of my double wide trailer. My wife put up with the chaos. I had a vision. We made it work.
Early 2018 I purchased another truck and hired a second office helper to assist me with handling on site surveys and phone calls so that I could focus on completing moves myself and ensuring customer satisfaction. This truck lasted 6 months before the engine locked up. Things were tight with the added overhead of office helpers and the payments of a broken down truck. The only solution was to work harder, work more. My wife continues to put up with my absence.
With the help of an amazing team that shared my goals we utilized rental trucks and made it to the point where I could purchase a small self storage facility to act as our new home base in late 2018. I will always be thankful to Mr. Butler and Mr. Burgess for owner financing that facility to me with a reasonable down payment.
Without that storage facility generating revenue and allowing me to start offering storage I would not have grown into my first actual office in 2019. I purchased this from Ms. Wade and Mr. Corbett for a fair amount. I am still very thankful for them selling it to me.
Roughly 2020 I had more demand for storage space so I looked into buying a warehouse. Ms. Wade had a 2,500 sq ft warehouse and restaurant and she offered to owner finance that to me and it was perfect.
That 2,500 sq ft building quickly filled and was profitable. It was not enough space to fill the customers demands. Ms. Wade had another 5,000 sq ft building just behind it and she agreed to owner finance that building to me.
In 2021 we needed more space to service our customers needs. With Ms. Wades encouragement and temporary assistance I was able to acquire the 8,000 sq ft climate controlled building that we operate from today. I can’t express how thankful I am for the help I received from Ms. Wade.
At the time of writing this it is July 2026. The past 5 years have moved fast. There have been “ebbs and flows” growth stages and then downsizing to reorganize. The ebbs and flows helped us dial in our processes and increase our efficiency. We are stronger than ever. We have invested heavily into tools and equipment. We have bought a range of equipment from cargo trailers, heavy duty pickups, box trucks and semi trucks. I have been out of the trucks for a few years now.
I am thankful that the dedication and work that I put in has built a company that is able to offer careers, not just jobs. Our efficient processes and skilled crewmen allow us to charge fair rates and pay above industry standard wages to include PTO to our staff. I am still working in the day to day operations but my hours are much less than in the beginning. My wife and kids are able to have much more of my time now.
