I'm moving from Gorman to Cameron Court in a month and need suggestions for movers.

Has anyone used any movers that they particularly like and are reasonably priced?

Hands down best movers I've ever dealt with:

http://trosamoving.com/

TROSA (Triangle Residents Overcoming Substance Abuse) moved my fiancee and I from our old apartment to our house when we purchased it two years ago. They were by far the cheapest price.

A lot of people I have talked to seem concerned that these movers are all dealing with, or have dealt with, substance abuse problems. From what I was able to gather though, all of their movers under go drug tests/etc to make sure they are staying clean while in the program. People who otherwise would have no gainful employment get a second chance -- and I can say from the movers we had, they are taking full advantage of it!

We had a truck and 3 guys who came to move our stuff --- Everything was packed/transported/unpacked with care (nothing was broken at all throughout the entire move). On top of that, they were ridiculously fast and very nice/personable. If we ever move again in the future, we will be going with TROSA regardless of what else is available.

I would highly highly highly recommend at least calling them to discuss pricing/time frame/etc.

(Yes, I am aware it sounds like I work for them! ( I don't) -- They were that good though, will happily give word of mouth about any company who does exactly what they say, when they say, without any problems.)

I second TROSA. Very reasonably priced, quality work, and you're helping some of the people who need it the most.

I've used the listing service Uhaul offers (movinghelp.com) 4 times and have been pleased each time. The Raleigh group I used, 1Hrfree Travel Core Transportation, was actually the worst experience I had. The experience was still overall positive, but they were a little less friendly and professional than the groups I have used based in other cities.

For reference, when I move I typically rent the truck and box up everything myself. I hire these guys to load and unload the truck only.

these guys blew me out of the water with their strength, efficiency, speed and care

might be more expensive than TROSA, but these guys are pros

Two men and a truck! They were very helpful and the guys that moved us were quick, nice and nothing was broken!

Does anyone remember the rates they were offered? TROSA was at $100 an hour for 2 guys with a minimum of 2 hours and prorated every extra 15.
