Drove furniture-delivery routes around Port Richmond for years before starting this company in 2012. Still reviews the week's schedule before it goes out.

2012 was the first year we ran a truck under our own name in PHILADELPHIA, PA — the roster hasn't turned over since.

How this got started
A furniture truck taught me more than any manual could
For about six years before Elias Jankowski ever incorporated anything, my paychecks came from a Frankford Avenue furniture warehouse, riding shotgun on their delivery truck. Port Richmond rowhouses taught me things no training manual covers — which doorway swallows a sectional whole, which staircase needs a mattress bent sideways twice before the landing lets it through. That kind of lesson only sticks once you've botched it in front of a customer.
The warehouse job ended in 2012, and instead of looking for the next one, I bought a truck. Nobody hiring a moving crew cares which warehouse trained me — what they're actually paying for is a crew that shows up on schedule, treats a grandmother's dining table like it matters, and never revises the number after the fact. That's still the entire pitch, thirteen years later.
The names attached to that pitch have grown since it was just me. Marisol Datillo answers the office line most days before it rings twice. Connor Meath builds every route around whatever Philadelphia traffic is actually doing, not what a map says it should do. Andre Loux takes anything long-distance or anything that needs rigging — pianos, safes, the pieces a normal dolly can't touch. Simone Achebe runs labor-only jobs and the full-pack side of the business. We've worked next to each other long enough that most questions get answered before anyone finishes asking them.
My own schedule still crosses my desk before it goes out, and I still climb into the truck for the longer hauls when there's room on the calendar. Not because Marisol, Connor, Andre, or Simone need watching — they don't — but I'd rather stay close enough to the work to notice when something's actually changed, instead of hearing about it secondhand.

Not up for discussion
The four things we won’t cut corners on
Whatever slows the job down gets counted before you sign
A no-elevator third floor, a permit-only block, a basement that adds an extra hour of carrying — Marisol asks about these on the first call specifically so they land in the estimate, not as a surprise line item once your boxes are already on the truck.
We don't staff jobs off an app
Everyone lifting a box for you draws a paycheck from EJ Relocations directly. Connor locks your crew in days ahead of your move, so nobody's calling around for warm bodies the morning of.
Family pieces slow the crew down, deliberately
A piano that has outlived three generations, a safe wedged into a basement corner, a cabinet with no replacement anywhere — Andre and Simone budget extra time for these on purpose instead of rushing them through like ordinary boxes.
Come find the yard yourself if you want
Frankford Avenue is a real street with a real building on it, and everything behind our name — Pennsylvania standing, federal DOT/MC authority, our own storage bay — holds up whether you take our word for it or come check.
Real names, not a directory
The five people your move actually passes through
Between the five of us, we cover the quote, the routing, the packing, and the driving on nearly every Greater Philadelphia job that comes in. We've shared a yard long enough that most handoffs happen without anyone needing to explain themselves.
Books the calendar and is usually the one who calls you back first.
Routes crews around Schuylkill and Delaware Expressway traffic before it becomes a problem.
Runs the long-distance and specialty loads, pianos and safes included.
Leads the labor-only crews and the full-pack side of the business.
Not asking you to just trust us
What is actually on file
Your job never gets farmed out to whichever subcontractor bid lowest that week — Elias owns the trucks and signs every paycheck, and the crew you book is the crew that shows up. Here is what backs that up:
- Pennsylvania household-goods carrier standing — required by the state, and it covers every job we run inside Pennsylvania.
- Federal DOT and MC authority on file — the piece that makes crossing into New Jersey, or all the way to Charlotte, legal rather than improvised.
- Cargo coverage the whole route — active from the first box loaded in Philadelphia to the last one carried off the truck at delivery.
- One base of operations since 2012 — no franchise locations, no second address, no rotating ownership behind the name.

No sales script involved: Marisol prices the job, Connor schedules it, and you get a plain number from two people who actually do this.
