In 1897, the Eyring family opened a moving, packing, shipping, and storage business in Cleveland, Ohio. The work was done with a horse-drawn wagon, and the specialty was furniture and pianos, two of the most valuable and delicate things a household owned.
Cleveland was booming at the turn of the twentieth century, and the company’s earliest customers were the entrepreneurs and families building businesses and shaping the city into one of the country’s most prominent. Moving their belongings safely was a matter of trust, and the Eyring family built its reputation one careful delivery at a time. Those humble beginnings became the foundation for everything that followed.
As the automobile arrived, many established businesses were slow to let go of the horse and wagon. The Eyring family was not. They welcomed the new technology and were quick to put some of the first commercial trucks available into service, meeting the changing transportation demands of a growing region.
By the 1940s, enclosed Edward Eyring & Sons moving vans were a familiar sight on Cleveland streets, handling both local moves and the longer hauls that motorized trucks made possible. That willingness to adapt, while never lowering the standard of care, set the pattern the company has followed ever since.
Through the middle of the twentieth century, the Eyring family operated under the Safe-Way Movers name, and the fleet kept pace with the era. Streamlined moving vans, purpose-built storage trailers, and signature service vehicles all carried the Edward Eyring & Sons lettering and the same promise of safe, careful handling. Whatever the name on the truck, the people and the principles behind it never changed.
As technology made larger trucks possible, the roads grew and improved, and the business grew with them. Eyring Movers stayed committed to excellence on every project, large or small, and expanded into long-distance moving without ever stepping back from the local market that built the company. Today, the Eyring Movers fleet can be seen carefully delivering customers’ belongings in any of the 48 contiguous states. It is the same work the family started in 1897, now carried out on a national scale.
Few businesses survive long enough to be handed down even once. The Eyring family has passed its company down five times. Today, Edward W. Eyring, III, the fourth generation, and Brian E. Yarham, the fifth generation, lead the operation into the future.
Each generation has inherited more than a business. They have inherited a standard, the expectation that every customer’s belongings are treated with the same care the family would give their own. That kind of continuity is something a national chain simply cannot offer.
Trust your belongings to five generations of Eyring care.
