The True Blue Crew Draws Our Paycheck, Never a Day-Labor Roster
The thing that separates True Blue Movers from the outfits blasting your inbox with bargain estimates is plain: the folks at your door on move day belong to us. Every mover who rides a True Blue truck is carried on our books as a W-2 hire.
- Crew modelPayroll movers, zero day labor
- Running since2011, Hyattsville MD
- Team size14 people, 7 trucks

Your move never gets posted to a board
Nobody random is hauling your grandmother’s china down a Mount Rainier staircase. We recruit, train, and back our own people, and Andre has done it that way from Hyattsville since 2011.
How We Hire
Adding a new True Blue mover takes real vetting. We would sooner build up gradually with solid people than spin through a stack of temp labor:
- A background check clears before anyone walks into a customer’s home.
- Drivers hold current DOT medical certification with no exceptions, since they pilot our rigs across the Beltway and up I-95 in heavy traffic.
- Fresh hires do not run a job alone; they shadow DeVon or Curtis to start.
- Before they lead, they prove they can wrap a banister, ease through a narrow East-West Hwy elevator, and treat someone’s belongings as gently as their own.
Insured Work, Claims Kept In-House
There is $1,000,000 of cargo and liability coverage behind every job, and since we are the mover rather than a broker shuffling you onward, a claim stays inside our Hyattsville office.
One outfit stands behind the whole job
On the rare day a thing goes wrong, you ring us directly, not an 800 line for a carrier who is a stranger to you. The move is ours, so the headache is ours.
Meet the Team
Fourteen of us all told: four at the office, a pair of crew chiefs, and about eight payroll movers on the lifting. Here is who handles you:
| Name | Role | Their part |
|---|---|---|
| Andre Coates | Owner | Started True Blue in 2011 after years running crews for a DC-area van line. Still the one setting how each job should go. |
| Tanya Briscoe | Intake & Scheduling | The first voice you reach; books the date and keeps the calendar straight. |
| Reggie Dorsey | Move Coordinator | Plots local and long-haul jobs and keeps you posted from load to delivery. |
| Alicia Monroe | Estimator | Walks the inventory and writes the flat rate so nothing catches you off guard. |
| DeVon Hayes & Curtis Vance | Crew Chiefs | Run the movers on the truck and know the way into nearly every block in PG County. |
One steady team, opening call through the final carton
