Gentle Giant Moving Company

Gentle Giant Moving Company runs a warehouse and office at 40 Industrial Drive in East Bridgewater, Massachusetts. It is one site in a network the company says spans more than 20 locations nationwide, and the company says it has been a full-service mover since 1980, when it started in Massachusetts. The services it offers cover local, long-distance and international moves for homes and businesses, along with packing and unpacking, short- and long-term storage, piano moving, fine-art handling and craning. Larry O'Toole is the owner, as the Boston Globe reported in 2020 when it covered the company's reliance on about 100 seasonal H-2B workers each summer, many returning for ten or fifteen years. In 2019, trade press reported the company had chosen a Winchester property for its corporate office and storage along with a site in Charlestown. The hunger-relief nonprofit Move For Hunger credits it with hauling more than 385,000 pounds of food on donation transports. On credentials, the company publishes DOT #373544 and ICC #MC218762 on its own website. Those are its own statements rather than a check against the federal register, so confirm them with the FMCSA before booking. Before hiring, ask for references from the East Bridgewater crew specifically, get the estimate in writing, and confirm which valuation coverage applies to your shipment.
