Moving Reviews

Jennifer K. While I'm sure this won't be the case every time, my final cost ended up being well under the maximum move cost estimate that they provided me with.

James P. The Los Angeles Movers was my best moving experience.

Marc T. It was a pleasure working with such a nice group of professionals. Office staff and moving crew lived up to my expectations. Thank you for your help. I will recommend you to my family and friends.

The trailers are built with air ride suspensions, which provide smooth and safe ride. Those trailers are 51' to 53' long and have a sliding deck in the back that can be moved out another 3.5' to accommodate tie downs of well protected and boxed up mattresses. Moving companies usually order swing double doors in the back, three doors on the passenger side, and one large "barn" double doors on the middle of driver's side of the trailer.
