Do not use this company for out of state moves. They are not DOT approved to take their trucks across state lines. They didn't tell me that until they showed up with a UHaul on the day of my move and I was trapped. The U-Haul was not big enough for my move as it was not the size of the truck the...

These are customers' accounts, quoted as written. Problem types and sums are our reading of each review. We do not verify individual claims, and the company may dispute them. Counts cover the 11 low-rated reviews we read, not every review on Google or Yelp. Bars compare the types with each other.
