Our History

Established in 2010 by Lance Collins, Express Lane Movers set out with a clear mission: to make moving easier and become the most trusted moving company in the Kona area.

Key Milestones

2010: Humble Beginnings
Express Lane Movers began in 2010, founded by Lance Collins in San Bernadino, CA. With one truck and basic packing supplies, the goal was clear: provide reliable, affordable moving services with personal care. Early clients were local residents who valued straightforward pricing and careful handling.
2012: First Expansion Outside San Bernadino, CA
In 2012, Express Lane Movers expanded to a nearby city. Though still small, this move brought steady referrals. Clients responded well to the team’s professional attitude and consistent service.
2015: Fleet Upgrade and Residential Growth
By 2015, Express Lane Movers had three trucks and a growing team. The company focused on residential moves and began handling specialty items such as pianos, antiques, and furniture, raising the quality of its services.
2017: Commercial Moving Services Introduced
In 2017, Express Lane Movers started offering commercial relocations, including office moves. While not large-scale, these jobs expanded revenue and allowed for more consistent bookings.
2019: Storage Solutions and Long-Distance Moves
The company added secure storage options in 2019 and began offering long-distance moves. This helped Express Lane Movers serve clients leaving San Bernadino, CA without outsourcing jobs.
2020: Resilience During the Pandemic
In 2020, Express Lane Movers stayed operational with new safety protocols. The team used digital forms, contactless estimates, and PPE to keep staff and clients safe. Despite challenges, all jobs and operations were preserved.
2021: Digital Shift and Online Bookings
By 2021, Express Lane Movers launched online booking and estimate tools. This improved logistics, simplified client communication, and increased online traffic.
2022: Training and Quality Control
In 2022, the company implemented standardized training in packing, customer service, and equipment handling. Quality control processes were introduced to ensure consistency across all services.
2023: New Services and Sustainability
Express Lane Movers added eco-friendly packing supplies and full-service packages for senior, student, and veteran clients in 2023. Electric trucks were introduced for local moves, and warehouse operations adopted a zero-waste policy.
2024: Solid Reputation, Steady Growth
As of 2024, Express Lane Movers has 30+ employees and 12 vehicles. Though not a market leader, it’s known for reliable work, insured services, and fair pricing. It continues to serve both residential and commercial clients with a focus on quality over volume.
Looking ahead, Express Lane Movers plans to expand into underserved rural areas, add multilingual customer support, and grow its electric vehicle fleet. Staff development and client satisfaction will remain core priorities.

Mission

Express Lane Movers plans to expand its presence throughout the region while maintaining the same core values that defined its beginnings in 2010. Upcoming goals include:

Opening two new locations in neighboring counties.
Partnering with local colleges to offer student discounts and seasonal move-in/move-out services.
Launching an app for easier booking and real-time move tracking.
Growing its interstate moving capacity without sacrificing service quality.
Continuing to invest in employee development, focusing on customer-first service.

Although Express Lane Movers has no intention of becoming a national giant, it is committed to becoming the most trusted, high-quality mover in every community it serves. The focus remains on care, integrity, and doing the job right—every time.
