Born to Move, a Boston-based moving company, has grown from a single-truck operation into a multi-market provider serving customers in Boston and select cities. Founded in 2016 by Dmitrii Malashkin, the company emphasizes preparation, accountability, and consistency—qualities that have become central to its reputation in an industry often marked by unpredictability.
The company’s growth is rooted in operational discipline. Early on, Born to Move focused on executing moves with precision rather than chasing rapid expansion. Each residential job in Greater Boston required careful coordination, physical effort, and direct accountability to customers. Mistakes were immediate and visible, creating a culture in which planning, communication, and consistency became essential. Over time, these lessons shaped the company’s approach, forming a standard of reliability that now extends to the select cities it serves.
Boston remains the company’s hub for training, fleet management, and operational standards. The city’s dense streets, historic brownstones, and high-rise apartment towers create logistical challenges that test timing, efficiency, and compliance. Crews learn to navigate narrow streets, strict elevator schedules, and building regulations. The systems developed here have been adapted and applied to other cities, including New York City and Philadelphia, allowing Born to Move to deliver consistent service across its select markets.
Expansion has been deliberate. New markets are only added after crews are fully trained, local compliance is verified, and internal standards are established. This careful approach ensures that growth does not compromise quality. Customers moving locally in Boston or to nearby cities encounter the same structured process, clear communication, and attention to detail that define Born to Move’s reputation.
Long-distance and interstate services are a key part of the company’s business model. Regular routes connect Boston with New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC. Flat-rate pricing and scheduled delivery windows provide clarity for customers undergoing life transitions, while operational preparation—inventory checks, route planning, coordination with property managers, and pre-issued insurance certificates—reduces uncertainty. Moving day follows a precise sequence, including arrival windows, equipment inspection, and organized loading and unloading of belongings.
Commercial relocations are handled with the same structured approach. Offices, retail spaces, and light industrial operations cannot afford prolonged downtime. Born to Move often schedules these moves after hours or on weekends, minimizing disruption while maintaining efficient execution. In Boston’s dense commercial districts, precise timing and compliance are essential to ensure smooth operations.
Safety and regulatory compliance are core to the company’s practices. Born to Move maintains DOT and FMCSA registrations, conducts routine inspections, and trains crews in proper lifting, securement, and handling procedures. Insurance documentation is provided for both residential and commercial moves as required. These practices reflect the company’s commitment to professional and reliable service, rather than marketing points.
Technology has become a growing part of Born to Move’s operations. The company is developing internal tools for inventory tracking, customer communication, and logistics management. These systems are designed to reflect real-world conditions, helping reduce errors and miscommunication while maintaining operational efficiency. By streamlining complex processes, Born to Move can scale its regional services while maintaining consistency across multiple select cities.
At the heart of Born to Move is founder Dmitrii Malashkin. His personal story mirrors the company’s ethos. Malashkin arrived in the United States from Ukraine with limited English and no financial support. He worked physically demanding jobs before joining the U.S. Army as a Motor Transport Operator, earning citizenship through military service. The discipline, logistical training, and accountability learned in the military shaped how he built Born to Move, emphasizing preparation, responsibility, and follow-through over shortcuts.
Since its founding, Born to Move has completed thousands of moves. The company’s reputation is built not on flashy marketing, but on results. Customers evaluate moving companies only after the last box is unloaded, making reliability and consistency critical. Repeat business and referrals now account for a significant portion of the company’s growth. Steady, measured expansion has allowed Born to Move to maintain high standards while scaling operations across select markets. Boston remains the benchmark, demonstrating the company’s commitment to structured and dependable service.
The demand for dependable moving services continues to grow as people relocate for work, family, and opportunity. Born to Move meets this demand with the same core principles that guided its early work: preparation, accountability, and respect for the people trusting the company with their belongings. In an industry often defined by uncertainty, Born to Move has built a reputation for professional, predictable, and stress-free relocations.
Through careful planning, regulatory compliance, and strategic growth, Born to Move has created a model that balances operational excellence with customer satisfaction. Its disciplined approach, combined with a commitment to repeatable quality, sets it apart in an industry where trust is earned one move at a time. For residents and businesses in Boston and select cities, Born to Move represents reliability, professionalism, and peace of mind during every relocation.
