We hired two people for 2 hours to move us into our third for apartment and they finished early! They had great attitudes and were a pleasure, even with all the stairs and heavy furniture.

These guys made my move so much easier. After having our truck cancelled by uHaul we were geared up for a rough move as we scrambled to get a truck. Luckily, when the guys from On Go arrived, they made our move A LOT easier. These guys don't miss a beat; I showed them everything that needed to go and they got it done WAY faster than I imagined they would. I was worried that the truck we rented last minute would be too small to fit everything in our house, but these guys packed our truck so efficiently it was like watching a master play Tetris. They were both extremely courteous, warm, efficient and careful with our furniture. Not one glass was shattered, not one wall was scratched. If you need your stuff moved, look no further than On Go. These guys are true professionals and will make your life easier.

These Gentlemen were very professional and on time. They were gentle with my furniture. Not to mention they’re quick on their feet, and packed the moving truck in a very organized fashion with everything fitting with precision. I would and am going to recommend this moving company to a few family members and friends if and when needed. Thank you for making my experience so satisfying and easy.

Lamar, Steph and I believe Ty came and unloaded our container and part of our storage unit in about two hours - nothing short of miraculous. They were so personable and efficient. Kudos to Chaz & Crew! I will be recommending them to my real estate agent and anyone else I know who is in need of their services.

Movers | CHAZ & CREW
They were great! We hired 2 movers for 3 hours and 3 movers showed up and did it in half the time. They were very friendly and respectful of both us and our home. They went above and beyond! We would definitely recommend them and use them again!

Brian and Jamal did an excellent job helping me with my move. They took their time to carefully wrap my belongings with protective blankets, and took care with my antique furniture pieces as to not bang them against anything or break fragile pieces off. They did back breaking work that I certainly could not have done by myself and were very polite and considerate during the process. I would definitely recommend these guys for the job, and will certainly request them again on my next move. The process of ordering the service and help was easy and straightforward, and they use up to date and reliable notification services via e-mail and phone. I was very pleased with the outcome. My prior moving experience was a nightmare, so I thank all involved for the great help, care, and consideration during this move.
