Our History
AMWAT is the acronym for “A Man With A Truck,” which started in 1997; true to its name, it was a one-man operation out of Dean Pugh’s spare bedroom, executing local moves with a pick-up truck and trailer. Shortly after starting the business, it moved into a small warehouse, acquired three moving trucks, and hired six employees.
Gloria Pugh joined the company in 2005 and the collaboration quickly had a positive impact. The company restructured and obtained authority from the United States Department of Transportation to cross state lines. In June 2008, A Man With A Truck acquired the largest and oldest moving company in the area, moved into its new, two-warehouse facility, and rebranded to AMWAT Moving Warehousing Storage. Shortly thereafter, AMWAT became an agent for Wheaton World Wide Moving and obtained military facility certification.
AMWAT evolved from a small, local moving business to transportation, logistics, warehousing, and storage company handling a wide range of commodities, from household and commercial goods to art exhibits and scientific equipment. (We do not handle hazardous materials.)
AMWAT is a one-stop shop for all our clients’ moving, storage and warehousing needs. We can move just about anything anywhere in the world!

Intrastate Moving Services*
Moving within Florida? As one of the state’s most trusted intrastate movers, AMWAT is committed to facilitating your move in an efficient and safe manner. We’ll start with our free, on-site home move survey to make sure each and every moving item has a plan. From the right size moving truck to the proper moving equipment, AMWAT will be there to make your move to a new city as smooth as possible.
AMWAT Moving is one of Florida’s most trusted intrastate moving companies. The difference between a local move and an intrastate move is distance and pricing. Local moves are charged by the hour while long-distance moves are charged by the weight of the shipment, distance, and accessorial services. When moving long-distance (beyond 50 miles), it is highly recommended you obtain an on-site move estimate. On the day of your move, we will come prepared with the right size truck(s), professional movers, moving pads, and proper equipment to facilitate your long-distance move in an efficient and safe manner.
Interstate Moving Services
Moving out of state? An experienced and professional moving company can ease the stress of moving long distances. Allow us to plan all the details and manage your interstate move. From start to finish, our team of professionals will keep you informed during every step of your relocation. You can trust our team of professional packers, movers, and drivers to handle your items with care.
AMWAT Moving Warehousing Storage is an independently owned and operated moving company. We are agents for Wheaton World Wide Moving whose USDOT authority we operate under when crossing state lines. We work with a network of independent movers throughout the country who are also agents for Wheaton to provide seamless and affordable interstate relocations. When you work with AMWAT, we are responsible for planning and managing your interstate move. AMWAT and our partners will be with you every step of the way, to answer your questions and address your concerns.
The cost of an interstate move is based on the distance and total weight of the shipment plus any additional services you may need or request. AMWAT tailors your interstate move pursuant to your needs. Our clients can select from the many services we provide that fit their needs and budget.
If you have young children it is a good idea to do the move while they are in school or
daycare. You will be busy with the movers and it will be difficult for you to give your
child the attention he/she needs. It’s a much less stressful day for you if you children
are not home on moving day.
This depends on many factors, such as the time of year, weather conditions, size of your
shipment, time required to load and unload, and the direction and distance your shipment
is traveling.
Because the furnishings of the average household will not fill a truck, it is often necessary
for two or more shipments to be loaded on the same truck. Each shipment is carefully
sectioned off from the others.
With the help of computer-assisted dispatching system, pickup and delivery dates
are scheduled according to the origins and destinations of individual shipments on the trucks,
as well as shipment weight.
