For the first time in 132 years J.E. Ladd & Son Transfer is now accepting Mastercard/Visa and Discover credit cards and check cards!!
With this new array of payment options, we will no longer be accepting mules or chickens in exchange for moving services Ostriches will be considered.
Watch us tame a 2500 pound metal beast! Here is how to move a ton and a half antique bank safe as easily as rolling out of bed.
We are thrilled to have made the front page in last week’s Durham Herald Sun Newspaper! Read the full article at the link below:

Movers and owners Rodney Lewis, J.E. Ladd IV (retired) and J.E. Ladd V
Let me tell you about my brother-in-law Rodney Lewis. His nickname is Catfish. I do not recall why but as you can tell from the photo, I can venture a guess! He is incredibly fun to be around, and has one of the best senses of humor of anyone I’ve met. He’s a patient and loving father to my niece. He talks a lot, a WHOLE lot, but when you have a conversation with him he also actually listens carefully to what you say. He thinks of himself as a simple man, but he is in fact one of the most intelligent and inventive people I know. He has clever ideas and a very unique way of finding solutions to problems. He thinks things through, thoroughly and intellectually. He does compassionate deeds for strangers, just because he can. He can expertly do anything from interior decorating to rebuilding a carburetor. He has poured his soul into our family business for almost 25 years and is probably the best furniture mover currently working in NC. He is a brother to me and I cannot imagine runing the family business without him. On Wednesday he will deservedly become 1/2 owner of J.E. Ladd & Son Transfer and I cannot wait to add our partnership to the 132 year legacy of the company! Congratulations, Rodney. Well done.

About 20 years ago we were moving a family and I carried a box labeled “Grandma” into the new house and asked the customer “Where do grandma’s things go?”, they replied “No, that’s actually Grandma, put her over there”. The moving company you choose will tote in their hands your family heirlooms, items you’ve worked years to acquire, and sometimes even Grandma’s ashes. My family has professionally and compassionately enjoyed the privilege of moving people since the 1800’s. No one will take better care of your treasures than us. I stake my family name on it. – J.E. Ladd V
Today we moved a two-thousand year old statue! Not a typo, it dates to 200 B.C (as in Before Christ). Needless to say, J.E. Ladd V cradled it carefully in his arms like a little baby in swaddling clothes! Our slogan is “We moved your antiques…when they were new”. In this case, not entirely accurate. The Blizzard family trusted the Ladds to move their priceless treasure, trust them to move yours!
