If I wanted to win, I had to outwork everyone.

That mindset built this company.

Growing up as the smallest player on the basketball court taught Alvin a lesson early: if he wanted to win, he had to outwork everyone. That discipline became the foundation of Prime Packers — a company where exceeding expectations is the norm.

Alvin is a BBA Marketing graduate from Andrews University, Life Group Director for Praxis Ministry, and self-published author of How to Become Confident. He brings over a decade of experience in logistics, operations, and hands-on moving work — and a relentless drive to build something lasting in Southwest Michigan.

What started as an idea in a bedroom in 2021 has grown into the region's highest-rated independent moving company, with a crew that treats every client's belongings like their own.

The road so far

Key milestones, recognitions, and wins along the way.

Prime Packers started when two local flooring companies — Mattson Flooring and Northwood Flooring — partnered with us to handle moves for their customers. That first handshake turned into our first jobs.

We're a family-owned moving company based in Berrien Springs, Michigan. We chose moving because we wanted to give people maximum value at the best price — that's where the name Prime comes from.

From day one, the mission was simple: show up on time, treat every box like it matters, and make sure the customer feels taken care of.

Two months into operating, we had already earned 10+ five-star reviews — and Angi took notice. The Super Service Award is given to the top 5% of home service pros on the platform based on quality, reviews, and customer satisfaction.

Getting it in our first quarter was surreal. We were competing against bigger, more established moving companies — many with decades of history — and still landed the recognition. It told us we were onto something real.

Receba FC is a Seventh-day Adventist professional soccer team based out of Andrews University in Berrien Springs. Our main manager plays on the team — so when the opportunity came up to sponsor them, it was an easy yes.

It wasn't about advertising. It was about investing in our community and supporting people we already knew, loved, and worked alongside. We're still sponsoring them today, and you'll see the Prime Packers name on their kits every season.

By mid-2022, we had crossed 100+ five-star reviews — in less than 7 months of operating. That milestone put us on the map.

Great Guys Moving named us a Top 10 Moving Company in the Three Rivers area based on review quality, service consistency, and customer satisfaction. For a company that started out of a bedroom the previous October, being ranked alongside regional names felt like real proof that the model was working.

Year two was all about growth. We brought on more crew members, expanded our service area, and started taking on bigger, longer-distance jobs.

And we kept our quality up — adding 20 more reviews through the year and earning the Angi Super Service Award for the second year in a row. Winning it once is lucky. Winning it twice means the systems are working.

2024 is when everything blew up. We earned three major recognitions in a single year: Better Business Bureau accreditation, Nextdoor Neighborhood Faves (voted by our actual neighbors), and acceptance into the Michigan Movers Association.

But the biggest moment of the year was buying our very first Prime Packers-branded truck. Up until then we were renting. Seeing our logo on the side of our own vehicle, for the first time, hit different. It was proof that what started in a bedroom in 2021 had become a real, grown-up business.

2025 was our best year yet. We hit 1,500+ customers served, locked in our third Angi Super Service Award, and quietly became the highest-rated moving company in Southwest Michigan.

Five years in. Still family-owned. Still running out of Berrien Springs. Still treating every move like it's the only one that day.

And we're just getting started.

What We Stand For

Your Move. Our Care.

Three words we live by. Every job, every crew, every customer — handled with the same care we'd give our own family.

01

Show Up

On time. Every time. No last-minute cancellations, no ghosting, no excuses. If we say we'll be there at 9, we're there at 9.

02

Handle With Care

Every box labeled. Every edge padded. Every piece wrapped. We treat your stuff like it's ours — because it should be.

03

Keep You In The Loop

From first quote to final box placement. You always know what's happening, because a move you can't see is a move you can't trust.
