History
Established in 2016.
Blue Cow Moving & Storage began in 2016 under the name “The College Moving Crew,” founded by a college student with a mission to provide affordable, reliable moving services in Central Iowa while paying for school. What started with one truck and a hardworking crew has grown into one of the Des Moines area’s most trusted local moving companies.
In 2023, we expanded our services by acquiring Blue Cow Boxes, a local moving bin rental company. This allowed us to offer durable, eco-friendly plastic bins for residential and commercial moves — giving our customers a smarter, greener alternative to cardboard boxes.
Today, Blue Cow Moving & Storage is proud to serve families, students, seniors, and businesses across Ankeny, Des Moines, West Des Moines, Urbandale, and beyond. From full-service moving and packing to labor-only help and short-term storage, we bring honest work and Midwest care to every job — one move at a time.
Meet the Business Owner: Andrew B.
Andrew started Blue Cow Moving & Storage in 2016 while attending Faith Baptist Bible College in Ankeny, Iowa. What began as a way to help cover tuition quickly grew into a thriving local business built on hustle, integrity, and genuine care for others. Born in the Midwest, Andrew has made Central Iowa his home — and takes pride in serving the communities that welcomed him with open arms.
When he’s not coordinating moves or supporting the Blue Cow team, Andrew enjoys long runs, spending time with his family, staying active in his church, and connecting with the people they serve. He’s especially grateful for the chance to work alongside close friends every day — and genuinely can’t imagine a better life.
Andrew believes moving doesn’t have to be overwhelming — and he’s built a company culture that proves it. His mission is simple: provide dependable, low-stress moving experiences delivered with honesty, hard work, and a smile.
