The men were prompt, professional and helpful. They worked hard considering they had a moving job earlier that day. It definitely helped having majority our stuff outside ready to be loaded. Brandon packed the truck TO PERFECTION! Honestly, everything eas neatly and carefully packed and strapped down. I had a much bigger truck (27') than needed and nothing was out of place after driving. The price was DEFINITELY more affordable than the quotes from using movers with their own truck. The supervisor was very easy to get ahold of. I had an overall great experience. I would use them again! Thanks BB's Moving with Care!
