Movers in Pottawattamie County, IA | Tetris Moving

A licensed, insured Omaha crew running moves in Pottawattamie County and across the metro — honest flat-rate or hourly pricing, and a truck that pulls up when we said it would.

Pottawattamie County is the Iowa side of our territory, just across the Missouri River from Omaha and a quick run over the bridges on I-80 or I-29 from our shop near Millard. It is hardly farther than the close-in metro and just as steady: Council Bluffs feeds us a near-constant flow of households, and the river crossing keeps the county busy through the year. Megan Ruzicka built Tetris Moving in 2015 as a real licensed mover running its own equipment with its own W-2 staff, and that counts for plenty across the river, where so many jobs are families shuttling between Omaha and the Iowa side. Pricing is flat, set down before the date is held, and the people packing your old place are the same ones setting up at your new Iowa door, with the truck loaded tight so the move fits in fewer trips.

The county splits between the city and the smaller towns out east. Council Bluffs, the seat, brings older single-family homes lining its brick blocks, downtown apartments, and family relocations near the bluffs and the casinos; Carter Lake, tucked on the Nebraska side of the river, runs to modest houses and quick cross-river moves; Avoca and the outlying towns add starter homes, farmhouses, and senior downsizings along the I-80 corridor. Local rates are $120 hourly for two movers, $160 for three, $210 for four. A flat quote puts a three-bedroom house at $1,800 to $2,980 and a four-bedroom at $2,920 to $4,600, packing and any piano carry inside the price where the job needs it. Long-distance jobs run both ways across the river under our own US DOT and MC authority with $1M in cargo coverage, and climate-controlled storage holds your things at about $90 to $240 a month when a closing or a season fails to line up. Winter runs over the bridges get added floor protection and salt runners, we count on a plowed path, and the calendar accounts for blizzards and spring storms.

“It was a great service with fairly clear pricing. The only reason I gave a 4 was because we pay before they actually finish the delivery. So I felt the guys did a less after payment with all boxes left in the garage instead of moving them up to the rooms upstairs. They did break one item so I am hoping the insurance works…”

“The movers came to my house and packed up. Brett and the two guys were great to work with. When my stuff was ready to be delivered the driver was very friendly and considerate. The two men from the local company that unloaded went above and beyond to help me get my refrigerator in the house. I am very grateful for their service and efforts. I would recommend them for a move.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How far into Pottawattamie County do you go?

As far as your address sits. Council Bluffs and Carter Lake are right across the river from Omaha, and we keep going out I-80 to Avoca, Oakland, and the smaller towns east. Send any Pottawattamie County address and we will quote the job to that door.

Can you handle a cross-river move between Omaha and Council Bluffs?

That is a big share of our work over the bridges. The Omaha-to-Iowa hop runs over I-80 or I-29 with the river crossing in the middle, so we map the timing and access in advance, handle it with one crew start to finish, and can hold a load in climate-controlled storage between dates if the closings do not align.

Are you a licensed Iowa moving company?

Yes. Tetris Moving is licensed and insured for full-service work across western Iowa and Nebraska, holds US DOT and MC authority for interstate jobs, and carries $1M in cargo coverage on every job. The trucks are ours, the crews are W-2 employees, and a Pottawattamie County move is never subcontracted.
