Today we’d like to introduce you to Jessica and Heriberto Santos Jr.
Heriberto and Jessica, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
Both from Framingham Massachusetts; we met in middle school! I was in 8th grade to be exact! After high school, we moved to Florida and got married, I was 20. I then trained in Florida to receive my CDL class A license for my passion of operating large trucks. After over the road trucking for 1 year, we then found our way back home to Massachusetts. I worked in the moving industry in my early twenties, I actually enjoyed moving and the challenge of it!
We moved to Milford and bought our first home. I always wanted to be a business owner. We decided to open up our own moving company. We started our business with one large box truck funded by our savings. Since then we have kept the company a family-owned business. I can remember buying our first moving truck and decal-ling it on Marathon Monday! There is a lot that goes into owning a moving company and navigating through all the hardships and difficulties in operating a self owned business.
After buying our second home and relocating to Ashland, we began to raise a family. We have two beautiful girls, ages 10 and 2! This past July we celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary! We are in our 14th year in business! With Santos Moving you get the local mom and pop personable affordable service with the comforts, ability and quality of a larger moving company.
I am involved in every aspect from being on the job to behind the scenes. Jessica works in the office as a moving coordinator, handling all office duties and dispatching. As a team, we handle all the advertising and management duties together. Just like in our marriage, we work together, raising a family and running a business; it’s a partnership!
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
We’ve had a few bumps in the road but that has all lead to learning more about the moving industry and providing better customer service!
As a small company, learning how to get through winters in the off season has been a challenge!
Santos Moving – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
We are a full service moving company. We move residential and commercial customers.

We are known for our ability and skills to move furniture in high end homes and difficult locations.
I am most proud of never not completing a move that was on our schedule!
What sets us apart from others is my high standards and expectations of a job done as safely and efficiently as possible!
What is “success” or “successful” for you?
Success for me is happiness! I love my family and really enjoy spending time with them. If you can balance work and family that is success!
