They were on time, courteous, worked hard. The pod looked to be packed perfectly, but I’ll have to wait till I get to my destination and unload it, which won’t be for 4 to 6 months.

My two ProLoad movers showed up on time, and were extremely skillful at loading up my U-Pack cubes to maximize the space available... like an intricate game of tetris. They wrapped my belongings in the materials I provided, and aligned with us on a gameplan before getting started. The only reason this wasn't a 5-star review is that they put a pretty decent gouge in my wood floor with the a couch leg. And then I saw them drag a heavy rubbermaid container across the floor leaving more scratches. I pointed this out to him immediately and he were very apologetic and didn't let it happen again.
