Intelligent Labor Inc.

Intelligent Labor Inc. operates Intelligent Labor and Moving, a family-owned Arlington moving and storage company serving Cambridge, Somerville and Greater Boston since 2005. The crew handles packing, moving and storage, and the company presents itself as one of the most environmentally focused movers anywhere, with two electric moving trucks, an all-electric warehouse, and a plastic-free wrapping service that relies on reusable furniture covers, moving blankets and rubber bands.

The business began in Cambridge before settling in Arlington, and it now owns warehouses there and in Hudson. Its fleet of five trucks runs from 16-foot trucks up to a semi tractor-trailer. Rates are billed hourly with truck, fuel and equipment included, while packing materials are charged separately when crews pack boxes. The company hires its own movers rather than subcontractors and credits its green investments, including solar power, with keeping long-term costs down.
