Not Your Average Moving Company

We were interested in learning more about Dakota Moving and its outstanding online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with the owner, Derek Fox.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes Dakota Moving stand out when compared to the many other moving companies in South Dakota. Here’s Derek’s response:

“All of our employees are full time. We’re not hiring day laborers. We go coast to coast, but our pricing is fair. A lot of times, we’re cheaper than a lot of other people. We charge a flat rate, including truck, fuel and tax. We’re not adding on charges per box or overnight or anything like that.”

We also wanted to know what their mission is a Dakota Moving and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what Derek had to say:

“We just want to do good work and help everyone! At the end of the day, we want people to be happy because they don’t have to do the work themselves. People are busy with work and kids and their own lives, and they don’t want to spend all their time moving. A lot of people also don’t have the proper equipment. We want to make it easy and less stressful.”

Building Success With Happy Customers

Derek attributes Dakota Moving’s strong online reputation to their commitment to making their customers happy:

“It’s not easy! Volume is really the key. There are a lot of people that say they’ll leave a review, but they end up forgetting. We just try to make people happy!”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Dakota Moving has gotten their name out there through a commercial that airs on the local news channel, by sending out postcards and sponsoring local sports teams, but most of their new business comes from Google or word of mouth.

There are so many business owners out there who would love to build the kind of online reputation Dakota Moving has. Here’s Derek’s expert advice for them:

“It takes a lot of work! It never slows down. Respond to quotes; send emails, and answer your phones. Do what you can to make people happy!”


Congratulations to the team at Dakota Moving for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Derek, for taking the time to speak with us!
