Mover in Truck_16240

I wanted to write you to rave about the excellent service we received from the entire team. Tamara was very prompt in scheduling our pre-move inspection, scheduling our move exactly when we wanted it and ensuring the delivery of our goods was done timely. Very accommodating!

Ryan, Pace, FL

Hello, Just wanted to send a quick note to let you know that the movers were fantastic. They packed everything and were done by 5PM. They were extremely professional and communicated with us throughout the packing process. Thank you so much!

Matt, Topanga, CA

Kevin - You made it so easy for us when we would have had to start from scratch even just finding a moving company to use. You made us feel so confident that this could happen without too much effort. Billy and the gang were so capable and also confident and inspiring. You are a good guy and I send a heartfelt thank you.

Sarah & Family, Twentynine Palms, CA

Outstanding service from the entire moving crew. Professional and efficient. No issues at all, and we would highly recommend our Apex Moving Crew, an Atlas Van Lines Member to anyone.

Terri, Nashville, TN

Eddy and his crew were fantastic. They were professional during packing and delivery, organized and caring. I can’t say enough good things about how responsive Eddy was to our wishes, he worked with us every step of the way. Moving halfway across the country is stressful enough, thank you for eliminating one of the biggest stressors.

Douglas, San Antonio, TX

Great moving company! Amazing people, high quality of trucks and trailers, punctual, no hidden costs. Our move from Pennsylvania to Florida was flawless.

Marcello, Miami, FL

Atlas handled the move professionally and efficiently. I could not have asked for a smoother moving experience. Even when there was a bump in the move in process because of construction in my building, Atlas handled everything for me. Would absolutely use Atlas in another move.
