Every Hand on an A1 Job Is on Our Payroll
Around Ocala, plenty of the outfits putting out quotes are really just a phone number that flips your booking to whoever underbids the rest. A1 runs the opposite way. Whoever steps off our truck draws a paycheck from this company, hired and coached by Rick, not grabbed from a day-labor line at dawn.
Your move is never auctioned to the cheapest bidder
No stranger called in at sunrise is guiding your dresser through a Stone Creek villa door. We grow the roster slowly, looking for people who stick, and Rick has run hiring this way out of Ocala since 2009.
What Earns You a Place on Rick’s Crew
We would much rather bring on a single dependable worker now and then than churn through temporary help, so landing a spot here takes more than muscle.
- The background check clears before anyone walks into your home.
- Drivers carry a current DOT medical card, full stop, since they steer our trucks down I-75 and SW College Road in real traffic.
- New hires put in weeks as a second set of hands beside Junior or Lamar before we trust them to lead.
- Running a job means showing you can pad an antique banister, walk a sofa through a tight villa hallway, and treat a home’s contents the way you would treat your own.
Fully Insured, With Every Claim Coming to Us
Each Ocala job carries $1M of cargo protection. Since A1 does the moving rather than a go-between, anything you might ever file lands directly at our office.
A single company stands behind the entire day
On the rare occasion something goes wrong, you reach Rick’s office straight away, not a toll-free number for a carrier you never spoke to. The move was ours, which makes the fix ours too.
The A1 All Professional Movers Roster
Sixteen people round out the company: four in the office, two crew chiefs, and ten W-2 movers handling the heavy lifting. Here is who covers what.
| Name | Role | What they handle |
|---|---|---|
| Rick Calloway | Owner | A Marion County native who launched A1 in 2009 after a long run supervising crews for the major Central Florida van lines. Still rides along on the larger estate and horse-country jobs. |
| Donna Pruitt | Intake & Scheduling | First voice you hear, nails down your date, and keeps the booking sheet tidy. |
| Wade Sutton | Move Coordinator | Plans the in-county and cross-state jobs and keeps you posted from pickup to drop-off. |
| Carla Bennett | Estimator | Walks your inventory and sets the flat number so move day holds no surprises. |
| Junior Ramirez & Lamar Foster | Crew Chiefs | Lead the movers on each truck and can work into nearly any community from On Top of the World to Marion Oaks. |

That is the payoff when a mover staffs its own roster instead of farming the work out. Reach a live coordinator at (888) 711-4778.
