Spoke on the phone to your rep and emails that followed were clear. Anyone who has too much to take in a truck and not enough to take in a pod this was perfect. ABF also has larger containers and other options, so yes, I would recommend them. The driver called when he arrived and we were able to make sure the could off off load safely and he even waited while we unloaded and helped to boot! The driver was there within the allotted time frame. He was friendly and efficient. We called when were finished loading and they came back and picked up on the same day.

Everything went as smoothly as possible. There were some slight delays in getting my stuff to me at the arrival destination, but it did arrive on the day it was supposed to, and everyone at ABF bent over backwards to help and make the move as easy as possible. I was impressed that even in the face of delays and a busy schedule, every employee at ABF executed their job flawlessly and were incredibly friendly. Excellent job.
