Buddy Moving Ranks No. 634 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 With 540% Three-Year Growth

Buddy Moving has been named No. 634 on the 2026 Inc. 5000, Inc. magazine’s annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America.

ADDISON, TX, UNITED STATES, August 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Buddy Moving, a Dallas–Fort Worth moving company founded by brothers Trenton Jardine and Jacob Nelson, has been named No. 634 on the 2026 Inc. 5000, Inc. magazine’s annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The company earned its position with 540% revenue growth over the past three years, placing it in the top 700 nationwide across all industries.
The Inc. 5000 ranks U.S. private companies by three-year revenue growth. Past honorees include Microsoft, Patagonia, and Under Armour, each of which appeared on the list before becoming a household name.

Buddy Moving was founded in 2020, when the brothers performed their first job themselves with a rental truck: a third-floor-to-third-floor apartment move that took 10 hours. A trained Buddy Moving crew handles that same move in a fraction of the time today, and closing that gap is the reason the company built its training the way it did. The company has since grown into a full-service mover handling local, statewide, and office moves, plus packing, across the Dallas–Fort Worth area and throughout Texas.

The company attributes its growth to an operating model built around its people rather than advertising or discounts. Every mover completes a multi-step hiring process and works as a W-2 employee with full benefits and a career path, a contrast with the subcontracted and day-labor crews common in the industry. Field managers check jobs against a defined standard, and customers pay one all-inclusive hourly rate that starts when the crew arrives and ends when it leaves, with no added truck, supply, or fuel fees within the company’s standard service area.

“Six years ago, this company was two brothers and a rental truck, so seeing our name on the same list that once featured companies like Microsoft is surreal,” said Trent Jardine, co-founder of Buddy Moving. “The growth came from Dallas families trusting us with their homes and telling their neighbors. That’s the part of this ranking we’re proudest of.”

Customer response has kept pace with the company’s growth. Buddy Moving holds a 4.8-star average across more than 1,900 customer reviews and was voted a DFW Favorites Bronze Winner in 2026. The company’s full Inc. 5000 profile is available at inc.com/profile/buddy-moving, and the complete 2026 list is at inc.com/inc5000.

Inc. 5000 List Methodology
Companies on the 2026 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2022 to 2025. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2022.
