Your Manitou move week, planned on one page
One printable sheet that breaks move week into small jobs you can check off — which rooms to box first, how to keep the breakables padded and loaded last, and when to salt the ramp before an icy Pennyrile morning. Put together by a full-service Hopkins County crew that loads farmhouses, rentals and church halls every week.

Tell us what needs to go, we shape the crew around that load, and the price comes to you flat, on paper, and fully backed by us.
From first call to last box: the five steps
Hand us the basics
Two addresses, how many floors at each, and the date: send those over and one flat figure emails back to you with nothing buried below it.
Set the date
Say which morning works for you and we build the day around it, filing whatever COI a building requires, reserving the freight lift when there is one, and holding a tight arrival window.
Wrapping and boxing
Adding packing? We start with the fragile things, then move through the house room by room, boxing either the breakables alone or the whole place, in pads, paper and cartons we supply.
Loaded and on the road
The uniformed crew that padded and loaded you at the Manitou curb rides along to the far door and unloads every piece there as well, so your things pass to no one else en route.
Settled into the new place
We put every box in the room you labeled, rebuild the beds, and clear out every last sheet of used paper as we leave.
One crew, whatever you are moving
From apartments to farmhouses to storefronts right across Manitou and the greater Madisonville area, that single crew runs every job.
Apartment & condo
Downtown condos, Earlington second-floor units and Madisonville walk-ups, run by a crew that all but lives on cramped stairwells, tight doorways and building COI paperwork.
Learn moreLong-distance
One truck and one crew tracked from pickup to drop-off, whether the run heads south on I-24 to Nashville or east down the Western Kentucky Parkway to Louisville.
Learn morePacking & boxing
Box the entire house or only the fragile items; made-to-measure crates shield uprights, framed pictures and glass tops.
Learn moreStorage
Month-to-month units, locked up and climate-steady, for the stretches when your closing dates simply refuse to meet in the middle.
Learn moreCommercial moves
We shift offices, retail floors and congregation halls after hours and on weekends, keeping your doors open while the week hardly notices.
Learn moreJunk removal
Worn-out couches, dead appliances and the debris left over from moving day, carted to the county landfill either before we load or right after the truck rolls out.

Start to finish, your Manitou crew keeps one even, clock-driven rhythm — the same tempo at the first doorway as at the last box carried in.
- 7:00a
Crew arrives
The uniformed crew shows up early, salts the ramp if there is ice underfoot, has any building COI already on file, and gets the floor runners rolling out.
- 7:45a
Pad & wrap
Before a single item shifts, the furniture goes under blankets and shrink-wrap, the upright gets padded and belted, and we cover the door frames and hardwood.
- 9:30a
Load up
One piece at a time heads down the stairs and out the door, gets belted into the truck, and is checked off the inventory as it goes aboard.
- 11:30a
Rolling to the new address
Whoever loaded you back in Manitou drives that very truck to your new door — nobody hands the job off, no relay carrier picks up the load partway there.
- 1:30p
Carry-in
Every carton is carried to the room named on its side, and each sofa, dresser and headboard lands on the exact spot you call.
- 3:30p
Rebuild
We reassemble the beds, stand the upright back in its place, walk the whole home with you one last time, and haul off every sheet of used paper.

In Dale’s own words
Back in 2009 I hung my own name on Coffman Moving Service under a rule I have never once bent: whatever price we put in writing is what you settle once the final box is inside, with nothing invented after the truck is loaded. The trucks are ours, paid off, and no one on my crew lays a hand on a family’s upright or heirloom until he has spent his time learning the trade at my elbow.
Whether it is a one-bedroom above a Main Street shop in Madisonville or a four-bedroom farmhouse past Nortonville, the care runs exactly the same: a single Manitou crew you can trust and one written flat rate, curb to doorstep. That is why neighbors keep passing our name around, from Earlington walk-ups to homes down a gravel county lane.

Questions we hear a lot.
What Manitou renters and owners most want cleared up before they commit.
Do your own people run the whole move, or does it get handed off?
Every leg of it stays in-house, first box to last. Coffman Moving Service is a licensed, insured operation right here in Manitou, KY, running our own trucks and our own uniformed W-2 movers, with a Kentucky household-goods mover certificate on file beside live US DOT and MC authority. Your shipment never lands on a load board for some carrier you have never met to grab.
What does a local Hopkins County move run?
Figure $128 an hour for two movers and their truck; bring in a third and it becomes $178. Baked in from the start are the hand trucks, the shrink film, the moving pads, the wardrobe boxes and any building COI paperwork. Because the flat total is on paper before the ramp ever drops, the bill cannot creep once the work begins.
How far ahead should I book the crew?
For a local job, a week or two of lead time usually holds the date you want. The slots that go first are end-of-month lease turnovers, Saturdays and winter’s first icy weekends, so get your details in early; once you are penciled onto the board, the day is yours.
What is the range of jobs your crew will take?
Everything from downtown Madisonville rentals, Earlington walk-ups and small-town condos to full farmhouses past Nortonville and Dawson Springs: houses, apartments, senior downsizing, offices, church halls, pianos, gun safes and antiques, plus long hauls south on I-24 and west along the Western Kentucky Parkway.
All set? Let’s get you booked.
Give us the details and Coffman Moving Service builds you a locked-in flat price at no charge — nothing owed and nothing signed until you decide to go ahead.
