I unintentionally and unfortunately was contracted to use LONG DISTANCE VAN LINES (US DOT 3502439) VIA a 3rd party moving BROKER. Many items in my moving contract changed several times including when this company showed up and immediately said the estimate way off and tried to charge nearly 50% more than I was quoted. it was a bait and switch approach and was relentless all day long for various items include BULKY items above and beyond simply charging for the space I paid for. Additionally, they charged extra for simply protecting my furniture during the move - > what a novel concept. They spent more time trying to charge me extra for items that should be included and when I finally... Read More

Long Distance Van Lines is an absolute scam. I used them in 2015. They charge you way more ($1000!) than they quote you even with detailed dimensions of how big everything is. They don't tell you when you're expected to get your furniture by (or if they do, they're off by days). And they are careless with the furniture itself. My piano (somehow?) got fingerprints *molded* into its veneer! I have no idea how that happened given that they covered it in a blanket, and I can't get rid of it! The furniture my late grandfather had made was all banged up and chunks of it were ripped off. I had mugs broken that were carefully packed in boxes. I had boxes that were somehow all wet and they...

Can't say that I've even heard of this company and some of the comments aren't very supportive. I've used a long distance mover twice in the past five years called A1Auto Transport and didn't have any of the issues mentioned here. They have good reviews across multiple different sites and the service (and price) to back it up. If anyone has had bad luck with this company, I'd recommend giving A1 a shout and see what they can offer. I would guess it's both cheaper and better.

I don’t think I have ever used a moving company as good as this one. Clear pricing, good admin staff, professional movers all came together for a wonderful experience that made moving less of an ordeal than it usually is. Highly recommended.

People skills + professional skills make for a good company and happy customers, and I am definitely a very happy customer. I have never seen a moving team work so hard and so fast in the 8 moves I have made in the past. Great experience and would use again.

Cheerful movers who made a stressful move not so stressful. We were overwhelmed by the amount of stuff we had but these guys handled it all without complaint and just got right into it. Loved them this time and would use them again.

Am in the real estate sector and this is the company I would recommend to anyone who wants to move. I have seen them handle moving for most of my clients and they do it well. I have never gotten a single complaint about them.

I had a quite complicated front yard and most movers had told me it would be impossible to get the truck near the door. This company’s driver did it and within a few hours everything was in the truck.

Kudos guys. You helped me move a while ago and it was nice. My dog Johnny was involved in a small accident during moving and you helped. I would always be your customer. Nice job.

CROOKS!! THIEVES AND LIARS. Never use this company, they will rip you off. Rude customer service. Bait and switch operation. Someone should shut them down. Please check their BBB ratings and believe the negative coments.
