We’re the Osawatomie and Miami County and the surrounding Kansas countryside movers people call when the driveway is a quarter-mile of gravel and the mailbox doesn’t match what the GPS says. Dale, Carol, Tyler, and Megan Hutchins have run this company together since 2009, with crew chief Cole Whitfield working beside them for thirteen years running. No franchise fee changed hands to open this business, no call center picks up your call, and every name that gets on the truck is one you’ve already talked to. Our KS mover’s license and US DOT/MC filings stay current year to year, covering anything that crosses into Missouri or Oklahoma.
Carol Hutchins picks up this line herself most days and has a real number back to you by evening, usually the same day you call. Rather run it by the owner first? Ask for Dale — he still takes estimate calls most mornings before the crew heads out. Everything you send us stays inside our own office off Old Kansas City Road: never passed to a call center, never resold to another mover, and never handed to a subcontracted crew from out of town at Family Time Moving.
“Cole & his team over at Family Time Moving just wrapped up moving us entirely to our new home! From consultation, to completion, his team absolutely nailed it! Not only were they quick, they were careful and precise with for every piece of furniture! We recommend their services 10 out of 10 times! Absolutely thrilled with the job. Will always look to refer our friends and clients his way!!”
Dale Hutchins grew up on his family’s land off Old Kansas City Road, hauling hay and running equipment years before he ever backed a moving truck up to a porch. Ten years of odd-hauling out of a borrowed flatbed convinced him Miami County needed an actual moving company, not just a guy with a trailer and a Saturday free — so in 2009 he started Family Time Moving with his wife Carol and one truck.
Every job still gets one of five people: Dale, Carol, their son Tyler, their daughter Megan, or crew chief Cole Whitfield, treated like family since 2013. A farmhouse outside Louisburg and a rental near downtown Garnett get the same crew and the same equipment, backed by current KS HHG authority and US DOT/MC credentials for anything crossing state lines.
Paola, Louisburg, Ottawa, out past the farmhouses toward Fontana — wherever a Osawatomie-area family found us, that’s the platform they left the review on. Here’s where those add up.

“I called Family Time Moving after Salvation Army said it would take about a week to pick up my twin size bed and mattress. I called them, and they picked up the bed and 2 bags with sheets and comforter within 4 hours on the same day. It was quick and easy. The male representative who took all my information on the phone was friendly and courteous. I recommend these guys to everyone.”
“I had a great experience with Family Time Moving! The team was fast, professional, and handled everything with care from start to finish. They made what could have been a stressful move feel smooth and easy. Everything was packed, loaded, and delivered efficiently without any issues. I really appreciated their positive attitude and hard work. Highly recommend them if you’re looking for a reliable moving company!”
Every line below is a real job out of our Old Kansas City Road building last week, priced at exactly what the family signed for. Cole had Paola and Louisburg back-to-back on his side of the board; Megan split hers between an Ottawa two-bedroom and a long-haul out toward Wichita.
Updated dailyTyler prices a farmhouse move the same way he prices a two-bedroom apartment in town, plenty scheduled on just a few days’ notice and never a weekend surcharge stacked on top. Whether it’s a $229 piano move across town or a $1,595 three-bedroom bound for Kansas City, both quotes get signed off the same way — before the truck rolls, not renegotiated after it’s full.
Fully licensed KS household-goods mover with US DOT and MC authority on file for anything crossing into Missouri or Oklahoma. That paperwork sits behind a company that’s still just the Hutchins family and one crew chief — not a regional office with a rotating roster.
We know what a house move actually costs out here, and we don’t pad the number just because a family is moving forty minutes past the edge of the metro. Hourly and flat rates are posted plainly, and full-value protection available on every move, standard released-value coverage included.
Dale, Carol, Tyler, Megan, and crew chief Cole Whitfield are the whole company. There’s no rotating roster of one-day gig labor to worry about — whoever quotes your move is one of the same five people carrying your couch.
A short visit to the house, or a video call for anyone further out, and Tyler Hutchins has already noted the gravel lane, the porch steps, and the piano that needs two extra hands. It’s on the estimate before move day, not discovered with a couch stuck halfway up a farm lane.
Nobody on this crew is reading your address off a screen for the first time. We already know the gravel lanes that need a lighter touch after rain, the quarter-mile driveways with no house number visible from the road, and which two-lane highways slow to a crawl behind a combine during harvest — 17 years of real Miami County addresses baked into every quote.
Trucks leave our building off Old Kansas City Road heading in every direction most weeks: US-169 north toward Paola and the Kansas City metro, K-68 east toward Louisburg and Spring Hill, and I-35 south past Ottawa on the way to Wichita or Tulsa. Anywhere inside that stretch, or close to it, Megan can usually find you a slot inside a week.
“I spent ten years hauling odd jobs for other people before I figured out Miami County needed an actual moving company, not just a guy with a trailer. Carol and I started this with one truck in 2009, and the rule hasn’t changed since: if you talked to one of us about your move, one of us is going to be the one carrying it. That’s still true whether it’s Tyler on the phone, Cole leading the crew, or me still riding along most weeks.”
Nobody signs a separate form for this — by the time Family Time Moving sends your quote, protection is already built into the number right alongside the crew, the truck, and the pads and dollies the job needs. Everything below just shows up on move day, no extra paperwork required.
Send over both ZIPs, or just the two towns if that’s easier, and Tyler has a written price back to you the same day — a real number, not a range. Gravel roads, long driveways, and harvest-season traffic are already worked into that number, not tacked on later.
