Derek Simmons spent eight years in the Army moving his own household on somebody else's timeline before he ever ran a truck for a living, then two more years driving for a national van line watching customers get treated like a number. He opened Oxon Hill's own Good Guys Movers in 2014 to do it differently, and Jamal Price has led crews for him since 2015. Christina Boyd, Renee Walcott, and Marcus Webb rounded out the office and crew leadership since. Everyone on this truck is on payroll — no subcontractors, no gig-app fill-ins — and our Maryland registration plus interstate authority stay current year-round, PCS orders and civilian moves alike.
Most of these land on Marcus Webb's desk, and he'll usually have a real figure back to you before the day's out. Rather talk to Derek first? Early mornings, before the crew heads out, are when you'll catch him. Nothing leaves the Livingston Road office — not to a call center, not resold to another mover, not handed to an outside crew at Good Guys Movers.
“So impressed with Good Guys Movers. The entire team was nice and positive throughout the entire move from Nashville, TN to Asheville, NC, even when logistics were difficult with a steep incline to my new home. From start to finish there was excellent communication. They really exceeded all expectations.”
Eight years in uniform taught Derek Simmons what a hard move date actually means. Two more years driving for somebody else's van line taught him how a mover shouldn't treat its customers. In 2014 he put both lessons to use, buying one truck and setting a standard for who he'd hire: people who show up when they say they will, full stop.
Six trucks and eleven people run that standard today — nobody rented, nobody subcontracted. A rowhouse near Temple Hills and a single-family job out toward Camp Springs both get the same trained crew, backed by our current Maryland mover's registration and interstate authority for anything crossing a state line, PCS orders included.
People post wherever they already are — texting a neighbor, opening the app they last used, whatever’s closest at hand once the truck's pulled off Livingston Road. The rating comes out about the same no matter where you look.

“Awesome job these guys were professional and efficient”
“Jamal and Marcus were amazing! Highly recommend them and this company. They were very kind and professional and helpful!”
Nothing on this list is staged for the site — it’s pulled straight from what got booked and priced. Jamal had a run of rowhouse jobs near National Harbor stacked back to back; Christina split her week between a Fort Washington colonial and a PCS haul down toward Fayetteville.
Updated dailyA garden apartment in Temple Hills gets quoted with the same care as a colonial out in Fort Washington — no surprise fee for a Saturday, no add-on because the stairs turned out narrower than described. A $429 piano job and a $2,250 PCS move down to Fayetteville both get signed off the same way: before the truck rolls, not after it's full.
Derek did eight years in the Army before he ever drove a moving truck for pay, and that shows up in how the company runs: orders get followed, not improvised. Registered Maryland carrier, our own interstate authority on file, eleven people total — no call center routing your job to a stranger.
No range that turns into a bigger number once the truck's parked. Both the hourly rate and the flat bands are posted right on this site before you ever pick up the phone. Released-value protection comes standard on every move; step up to full-value coverage anytime before the crew starts loading, no extra paperwork required.
Not a rented crew scraped together for a busy Saturday. Whoever quotes your job is on the same team as whoever's carrying it up the stairs — there's no handoff between a salesperson and a stranger.
A binding estimate for reimbursement paperwork, a hard delivery window, sometimes two weeks' notice — Derek's lived that exact process himself, so it doesn't rattle anyone here. Civilian move on a normal timeline? Same crew, same standard.
Derek's run these streets for over 12 years now — which rowhouse blocks near National Harbor need a spot claimed early, which back lanes in Accokeek run a quarter-mile before you hit a driveway, which stretches back up during Beltway rush hour. None of it gets discovered on your move day.
A truck leaves our Livingston Road lot most days pointed a different way: across the Woodrow Wilson Bridge into Alexandria and Arlington, up the Beltway toward Suitland and Camp Springs, or straight down I-95 for a longer haul. Wherever that lands, Christina can usually find you a slot inside the week.
“The Army teaches you that a date is a date, not a suggestion. I moved my own family four times on that rule before I ever ran a truck for pay, and I built this company the same way: whoever's on the schedule shows up, full stop. That's Marcus taking your call, Jamal or Christina running your crew, or me still driving on a Tuesday when we're short a hand. Everybody here answers to the same standard I held myself to in uniform.”
A quote from Good Guys Movers isn’t a starting offer that grows a line at a time. Everything below is already folded into the figure Marcus gives you — nothing new to sign once the truck’s in the driveway.
Two ZIPs is all Marcus needs to turn this into an actual figure, usually the same day — not a placeholder that grows later. Rowhouse stairs, street parking, a tight PCS timeline — whatever the job involves, it’s priced in before you ever book.
