Awkward, heavy loads are what people call Meade Transport for. In a May 2026 review, a customer who needed a hot tub moved said the crew made it look easy; a July 2025 reviewer with another hot tub and short notice said the booking took three minutes on the phone. A 2024 review describes an ice bath lifted off a rooftop terrace by crane and then trucked to another state. The Weymouth company is a sole proprietorship under Christopher M. Meade with six employees, and it says it has been moving people since 1977 — 49 years. On Google it holds 4.8 stars across 18 ratings, and the Better Business Bureau grades it A+. Reachability is the other thing reviewers describe. A 2022 customer wrote that you get the owner on the phone rather than an operator; another that year said he came on site the same day to work out how to pack. A January 2022 reviewer said the four men who moved them to a new apartment were conscientious, and named Carlos and Thiago. Going further back, a 2013 account on a local business site described a Sunday call-out, a truckload of furniture carried up to a third-floor apartment with no elevator, handled by two men. The work goes beyond household moves. BBB lists packing, crating, loading and delivery including pianos and safes, and the company's own site adds storage, fine furniture and commercial work. Its stated service area runs from Boston, Quincy and Milton down the South Shore to Cohasset and Duxbury, and out to Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. For a specialty piece — the hot tub, the piano, the safe, the thing that needs a crane — this is a strong South Shore call. Settle the rigging or crane charge and any island ferry cost inside the written quote, and ask what valuation coverage applies to a high-value item before the truck loads.
“We called Meade Transport on short notice as we need help on a Sunday moving a truck load of furniture up to a third floor apartment and no elevator! They were very accommodating and sent two men, Nick and Carlos. They were very professional, polite, hard working, and careful with the furniture and boxes. It was well worth the modest price, and a lifesaver for us!”
I’ve used Meade transport multiple times. Nothing but professional services from these guys. I’ll never use anybody else.
These guys are the best. I needed a hot tub moved and they made it look easy. Professional, courteous, and fair. Chris was super responsive and was able to ensure the job got done for me as fast as possible. Best movers on the south shore. Thanks again guys!
Chris and his team were excellent. Great communication throughout, and his team took great care moving a challenging item. I’d definitely hire Meade Transport again and recommend them to others.
This was a call that I was glad I had made. I needed my hot tub moved with relatively short notice, it was a quick phone call and within 3 minutes we booked the move. Fast Easy, Very polite and they worked as a team making this move effortless. Great company, . . Will definitely use them again if needed. It saved my back too!! Ty Shawn H
Chris and his team are wonderful! We used them to move an Ice Bath from a rooftop terrace, which required a crane, and then transport it to another state. From start to finish, Chris was on top of the entire project. He always responded to my texts and calls immediately, which is so important with a move like this. I highly recommend Meade Transport for all of your moving needs!
