Fortunately a banner for "Above the Rest" auto transport was on the screen. I contacted a gentleman (Bruce) who explained both the players and the procedure. Everyone else just throws numbers and guarantees at you. Bruce explained that everyone on the web is a broker, not a transporter. The brokers list the vehicle on a national board for a base price (paid to the actual trucking company) and the broker receives his fee for this service. Bruce charges a flat fee which guards against unscrupulous brokers looking to pocket undeclared proceeds. He was also available when I called with questions and concerns during the transport, which was only four days. Bruce was a pleasure to speak with and he took the anxiety and ignorance I had and delivered a VERY positive experience. There's a good reason his operation has solid 5-star reviews. Thank you Bruce, it was a really good experience. James.

I provided my payment info and was told a driver would be assigned by midweek. That never happened. By Thursday, after repeated calls and texts, I was completely ghosted--no updates, no driver, no communication. Because of this, I didn't have enough time to find another company, and my pregnant daughter was forced to drive the car herself, which we were trying to avoid. This was extremely unprofessional and stressful. If they couldn't do the job, they should have said so. I would NOT recommend this company based on my experience.

I thought the price was more than fair, and less than I expected. They work with you on every detail front the pricing, to the pickup and timing of delivery, communicating back & forth with the driver and keeping the customer informed of the status. Similar to a moving van, there's a window of time for pickup/delivery but they coordinate it all with you. I love the attention to detail and REALLY appreciate that the goal is to ensure the customer knows what's going on at every step. The pricing was "all inclusive" with no hidden fees which I also really appreciate. Sounds like they're based out of Chicago but can handle business from anywhere in the country which is awesome. It's nice to know I can use them for the return trip as well. This interaction exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend using Lightning Car Transport for your transportation needs!! These guys work really hard and are dedicating to providing a stress-free interaction and ensuring the customer is happy. Thanks for your help Matt.

I feel like Montway was a bit deceptive in the quote however. The initial quote was raised because the car was "modified", but in reality it had been stretched 1.5 ft in the front. This was not an issue for the transport, as the driver had a trailer that hauled 2-3 vehicles. Montway rep said on the phone that $200-$300 would be charged to my credit card and the rest would go to the driver, and I received an email stating that $1370 would be owed to the driver on delivery. In reality, Montway charged my card $499, and sent another email stating to only pay the driver $1,100, which I did, but it felt deceptive. I am guessing that Montway got a way better deal from the driver than they anticipated, and instead of passing some of that saving on to me, or explaining, they just charged my card double what the rep said they would and kept all of the profit. Also, the rep promised tracking, which never happened - we had to call the driver a couple of times to find out the delivery time, because he hit traffic (which I understand he cannot control) and got held up by a couple of hours. All in all, it is done, but Montway didn't leave the best impression overall as a transport broker. Grateful I had a better driver than some of these other reviews...

After moving my senior parents out of their home of 54 years to another state, the last task was…read morethe physical packing and moving of the house hold items. Based on the reviews, we choose Long distance Movers. My parents lived on the 3rd floor of our family building and held years worth of items including a book and album collection as well as some antique furniture items. I worked with the sales team all the way up until the day of the move and made adjustments based on time and necessity. The move time was pushed back several times, which I remained flexible on. The driver (Mike) called me to let me know they were running late, I said no problem. I could tell in that conversation, (Mike) did not sound pleasant at all. When Mike and Alex arrived, it was confirmed, he was not interested in the job at all. The other mover (Alex) was friendlier. I began to show them the items that needed to be packed and I showed them around the property. Mike said we had more than what was listed on the quote. I advised the quote had be revised several times and we decided to not take some of the larger pieces. There was (1) item located on the first floor (that I sent pictures of) and some items in the basement. After showing both movers what needed to be done, I asked if they would rather park their truck in the alley. They agreed and said they would pull around back. THEY NEVER CAME BACK!!! I called Mike several times and did not get an answer...then the calls went to voicemail. I then attempted to call my sales person Matthew and realized the phone number listed does not allow you to enter an extension number. I then tried the representative who called me to confirm the move. I had to leave VM with both and wait for a call back. They were very surprised and apologetic but could not tell me why the drivers left with no notice. I was eventually told they could not "Accommodate" our needs! I completely understand how overwhelming that task may have appeared to someone walking into a large apartment, that wasn't the most organized or tidy, but isn't that what that $4,000+ quote was paying for. What if we had to be out of the property within days? To leave the job and make me wait for 30 minutes in the alley is completely unprofessional. Moving in general is extremely stressful, now imagine being a couple of senior citizens, one of which is a disable veteran battling cancer and being told their movers left without notice!

I'm too old to be enticing friends to carry my crap up and down stairs with beer and pizza, it was time to grow up. And Long Distance Movers is the company for that grown up move. First they have representatives that will not only quote your move but also check in and stay as your point of contact throughout the entire process. My rep was excellent in following up and responding to all of my questions and requests. He went out of his way to make my requested dates and times work, and that in itself already makes the costs come close to being worth it. But the movers themselves make it a no-brainer. They were courteous, polite, and professional. They also took a lot of time and care into helping prepare my items to go into storage and take the trip across a couple states. I thought I did well packing but they really improved on my work, rearranging and wrapping items that seemed loose or wobbly. I felt everything was super safe and taken care of when they were done. Good people throughout the company and good practices made my move super easy and convenient and the personal interactions make it completely worth the cost. Highly recommended for moving longer distances.

After visiting my Father in Utah, I saw that his place could use a few things. First off, he was…read moreusing the same plates that I ate out of as a teenager and the furniture in his game room was outdated. So as a surprise, my brother and I wanted to get him some newer furniture, a new set of dishes, and some giant candle holders to display around his pool. I shopped for everything in Chicago, got it organized and then I wanted a mover to ship it all together instead of each company shipping it separately. Plus, the leather couch that my brother & I got for him was from a furniture company that didn't offer out of state shipping. So I had no choice with that one. When I called Chicago cross country, I spoke with Joseph who was very down to earth. Over the phone I listed the furniture and everything else I was shipping. I told him that I wanted to time it out as a surprise if possible and he said he could definitely do that. I then called two other companies to compare on when they could start, estimation on when things would be delivered, and of course the price. Cross country outmatched the others, so I booked them. Two days later I met the movers, Patrick was one name I remember and the other guy, I don't recall his name. But it was two movers and they both were very nice & worked fast! I wasn't sure how to pack the pool-side lanterns I bought, so I had the movers pack them, along with everything else. They did it without a problem and asked me if they should take their shoes off when they got to my place. It's the little things, like asking that I care about it Everything arrived in Ogden, Utah yesterday and I was called me when the truck was an hour away from delivery. This part was important to me because I wanted to call my Dad before everything arrived so he wouldn't be alarmed with a big delivery haha. It ended up being a great surprise thanks to this company!!

Overall the service was close to advertised, but missed the mark in some important ways…read more They did an assessment of my moving needs, quoted a price and ended up delivering 90% of my stuff intact. Bikes, TVs, computers were all fine and well insulated. Be aware that it might actually take the full 21 days to get to you. Day 5, our stuff made it to CA from Chicago, but took an additional 15 days to make it up to Seattle from CA so your mileage may vary. We had planned on 14-15 days (two weeks) and so ended up having to buy a bunch of new stuff to be comfortable while waiting the additional two weeks. The problem lies with whomever they contracted out to do the final leg of the delivery. We had 30-40 boxes and they all appeared to at least have been tracked in some way into some sort of storage. However the team that delivered did not actually track each box when they pulled it out of storage. Additionally they filled in "delivered" sections on their own without me fully seeing and filling out that portion myself. I will probably not end up suing this service again in the future as waiting 2 weeks and then having random boxes go missing for the price paid is pretty unacceptable. Insurance covers some of it but it's still annoying playing the "what random stuff will I have to replace" game =(
