Riverton · Salt Lake County · Utah County · the Wasatch Front
Fourteen Years Moving Utah Families — Now on Both Ends of I‑15.
Local moves across the Wasatch Front, and long-distance moves down the state on our own trucks with our own crews. Family-owned since 2012.
Mon–Sat, flexible scheduling. Licensed and insured.
Same company, new end of the state
Not a new moving company. A new address for an old one.
Just-In-Time Moving has been moving Utah households since 2012.
Justin and Miranda Ruuth started the company in 2012 and have run it as a family business ever since — more than fourteen years, thousands of moves, and over 266 five-star reviews at 4.9 stars.
The Wasatch Front is where we work now as well. That is worth saying plainly rather than dressing up: you are not hiring a brand-new outfit with no history, and you are not hiring a national chain that will subcontract your move to whoever is free. You are hiring the same family company, the same crews and the same standard, working out of Riverton.
And because we already run the other end of the state, a move from Salt Lake County to St. George is one company from start to finish. Very few movers at either end can say that.
What we do
Six services, one crew
Take the whole thing or just the heavy part — plenty of customers book us for two hours of loading and drive the truck themselves.
Residential Moving
Houses, apartments, condos and townhomes across the Wasatch Front — including the winter moves most companies would rather not talk about.
Long-Distance Moving
Down the I-15 corridor to Southern Utah, or out of state. Our truck, our crew, no transfer to a line-haul carrier along the way.
Commercial Moving
Offices, tech suites and retail. Silicon Slopes relocations, after-hours and weekend work so nobody loses a business day.
Packing Services
Full pack, partial pack, or just the kitchen and the artwork. Materials included and everything labelled by room.
Specialty & Heavy Items
Pianos, gun safes, hot tubs and pool tables. The items where the right equipment and the right number of people is not optional.
Junk Removal & Delivery
Pre-move cleanouts, donation runs, and furniture or appliance delivery — including Costco and store pickups.
Why we are different
Moving to Southern Utah? Nobody hands your furniture to a stranger.
This is the one thing about us that genuinely cannot be copied by a mover at either end of the state.
Salt Lake County to St. George is one of the most common long moves in Utah, and the way it normally works surprises people. Most local movers are not licensed or equipped to run the whole distance, so they load you up and hand the shipment to a line-haul carrier. Your things travel on a trailer with other households, and a crew you have never met unloads them at the far end.
We run both ends of that road. Same truck, same crew, one company — and one company to talk to if anything goes wrong.
| Stage | The usual long-distance move | With us |
|---|---|---|
| Loading | A local crew loads your home onto their truck. | Our crew loads your home onto our truck. |
| Transit | Your shipment is transferred to a line-haul carrier, often onto a trailer shared with other households, and may be handled more than once on the way. | The same truck drives it down. It is not transferred, and it is not consolidated with anyone else's shipment. |
| Delivery | A third crew you have never met unloads at the far end, working from an inventory sheet. | The people who wrapped it are the people who carry it back in. |
| Delivery window | Commonly a spread of days, because the trailer is filled around other jobs. | A date, agreed when we book it. |
| If something is damaged | Three companies handled it and each can reasonably point at the other two. | One company touched it. There is nobody else to point at. |
Moving the other direction, or already in Southern Utah? Our Southern Utah site covers St. George, Cedar City, Hurricane and the rest of that territory.
The other thing nobody mentions
Moving between November and March is a different job
Roughly a third of Northern Utah moves happen in winter, and most moving companies write their website as though every move day is in June. Here is what actually changes.
- Salt and grit. The single most common winter damage is not a dropped box — it is what forty crew trips across a wet driveway do to new flooring. Floor runners and clean-off points go down before anything is carried.
- Condensation. Furniture and electronics that have sat in a cold truck will sweat when they come into a warm house. Wrapped properly and allowed to come up to temperature before unwrapping, that is a non-event. Unwrapped immediately, it is a water mark on a veneer.
- The driveway. A loaded truck cannot climb sheet ice, and on a steep drive in Draper, Bountiful or the benches it may not get up at all. We would rather look at that in advance and plan a shuttle than discover it with a full load.
- Daylight. Sunset in December is before five. A move that runs comfortably to seven in July is being carried out in the dark and cold in winter, so start times move earlier.
- The weather can move your date. We will say so honestly: if a storm makes the canyon or the corridor genuinely unsafe, we would rather reschedule than put your belongings and our crew on the road. Nobody likes that call, but it is better than the alternative.
How it works
Four steps, no mystery
Free estimate
Tell us what you are moving, from where, to where and roughly when. Bigger or more complicated jobs are worth a walkthrough — in person or on video — because a guess helps nobody.
Schedule
We agree a date and a crew size up front. We will not promise a slot the dispatcher has not confirmed.
We handle it
Protect the floors and doorways, wrap the furniture, load, drive, unload, place it where you want it, and take the packing debris away if you would like us to.
Settle in
Beds assembled and the heavy things where they belong before we leave, so night one is not spent moving a wardrobe on your own.
What customers say
266+ five-star reviews, 4.9 stars
These are company reviews, from both ends of the state. We have not relabelled anyone as a Northern Utah customer who was not one — as Wasatch Front jobs run, those reviews will appear here too.
“Best moving company I have ever had. These guys took a stressful situation and made it easy. Well done Just in Time Moving!”
“We have used Just-In Time moving twice now and will NEVER use anyone else! Super fast, efficient, and every worker we've met has been so kind!”
“Justin and his crew were punctual and professional. They took great care of all our belongings and made sure everything was placed where we desired.”
Where we work
Across Northern Utah, from the Riverton base
Salt Lake County is home turf. We cover Utah County, Davis, Tooele, Summit and Wasatch regularly, and travel further north on request.
What it costs
How we quote
Local moves are billed hourly with a crew size agreed up front. Tell us what you're moving and we'll quote it.
Long-distance and corridor moves are quoted per job rather than by the hour, because the drive is the biggest variable and an hourly number would be meaningless. Specialty items — a piano, a gun safe, a hot tub — are quoted on the item and the access.
What we will not do is give you a number over the phone for a house we have not seen and then revise it on the day. If the job is big enough for that to matter, we will look at it first.
Tell us what you are moving.
From where, to where, and roughly when. We will come back with a crew size and a number.
