Report
On The Move arrived early and ready to work, even on a rainy Saturday morning. We had more items than the team anticipated moving and they still worked very hard and diligently to get it all packed and moved with no complaints. The movers were very polite and efficient. All of our belongings were moved in a timely manner and not a single item was left with even a scratch. We are so thankful for On The Move making our relocation to our new home stress free. Thank you again so much for all our your hard work!

We could not be more pleased of the job performed by On the Move. They were very professional, courteous, and showed up when they said they would. Our team of Tyler, JD, Bobby and Jay did an excellent job of packing 28 years of stuff and getting it safely to our new house. Not one thing was damaged in the move. They even staged boxes in our garage so that we could easily find rooms as we were unpacking. If we ever move again, and I hope we don't, they will be my first call. I highly recommend On the Move: Moving and Storage for your moving and packing needs.
