Motivated Movers of Mobile

Great!! Movers arrived on time, were very professional and helpful. They worked very quickly and were done in less time than we expected. We have used this company before and they always do a good job.

Great. On time, worked hard & fast, great attitude. Two different crews & both were excellent.

They really worked with us. They packed me up on Monday, but we couldn't leave town until Wednesday. I asked them to have everything there by Friday and they did. They were fast and they had the best price.

They did a great job, and their price was very reasonable. They were on time, courteous and got the job done in a timely manner. We'd recommend them to anyone.

Everything went well.

It went fine.  They managed all details very well.  The furniture was intact and handled with care.  They were professional and called to confirm pickup and arrival times.  I thought the price was a little high, but another had quoted a higher price.   Other movers I had called returned my call after the move and gave me a less expensive quote.  I had a deadline to get it moved or I would have waited to get more quotes.  I was pleased with their handling of the furniture with no damage and their calling to post on location and timing.

I contracted with Motivated Movers to move my household contents from Pensacola, FL, to Thomasville, AL, and to store these items on the truck for one week between the date of pick up and the date of delivery.
A representative of Motivated Movers came to my house, walked through, was shown everything that needed to be moved, and wrote an estimate for the cost of the move.
On the day of the move, two men arrived on time, but with a truck that was too small.  "We can't get all this onto the truck," they said. "And we'd be overweight."   I asked them to get another truck, and was told that this was the largest they had.   Their suggestion was to get a second truck, for an additional $1.5K (approximate).   I didn't have that kind of money, and I had to be out of the house on that day.
The two movers with the truck worked very hard and got as much onto the truck as they possibly could.  We were happy to provide them with lunch and something to drink.
My problem is that the individual who provided the estimate grossly underestimated the volume of items needing to be transported and/or overestimated the capacity of the truck.   In fact, there was LESS to be loaded on the day of the move than there was on the date when he walked through the house and wrote the estimate (much stuff had been taken to a garage sale and to the local mission).  The net result was that I had to borrow a friend's truck and horse trailer, load as much as I could, and drive through the night to another friend's barn to offload the items (I would not have access to the new house for another week). In the end, I was not able to move all my furniture, having to leave some behind and make arrangements for the Salvation Army to pick it up the next day.  Two weeks later I had to borrow another truck to move the items from that barn to the new house.
A representative from Motivated Movers called me a few days later.  He offered no apology, saying only that the individual who wrote estimates was good at his job.  There was no offer of help, no offer to do anything at all to rectify the situation.
When the truck arrived (on time) to deliver the household items to the new address, one individual was one who had loaded the truck.  He worked very hard.  I again went to Subway and brought them lunch and something to drink.  The other individual was not as efficient or careful.  When a box was labeled "Basement" he took it to the kitchen.  Boxes labeled "kitchen" ended up in the bedroom or in the basement.  One box was dumped all over the driveway, spilling various small items and tearing the cover off a photo album.  The items were loosely thrown back into the box and then taken to the wrong location.  
I am EXTREMELY dissatisfied with the process of writing an estimate and then providing a truck that they should have known would be too small to carry all the household items.  No suggestion was ever made that a second truck might be necessary.  This move turned out to be a total nightmare.  I cannot in good conscience recommend this moving company to anyone

I was in a pinch due to a slow closing period on my house and had to move out of my apartment with very little warning. Motivated Movers was one of the few places I could find on such short notice. Their prices were higher than some of the other local places and seemed a bit overpriced for the work to be done but I appreciated that they were able to commit so quickly.
The movers showed up at my house on time and were able to load my fairly large apartment on the third floor to their truck in about an hour and a half. I was impressed by how quickly they worked and they managed to keep my things pretty dry considering it was raining. We then drove over separately to my new house to unload. They communicated well about where to put things and the unloading went very quickly. I realized after they left that two pieces of furniture had left ~1 foot long scratches on the hardwood floor which was frustrating but that was my only complaint.

On time and knew what they were doing

I chose Motivated Movers because it was highest rated on Angie's list.  I had a negative moving experience the last time we moved my mother from one home to another.  Motivated Movers showed up on time, worked quickly and professionally loading and unloading the furniture.  Both men were polite and professional.  I will definitely use Motivated Movers the next time we need a moving company.

Excellent experience.  They were on time, very friendly and efficient.  They finished everything in four hours!  It was well worth the extra fee per hour to have three movers instead of two.  I would definitely use them again, and have already recommended them to friends.

They arrived on time and had to park in a parking lot in order to bring items down from the apt to the truck. They even smiled when asked to move the truck so other residents could get out of their parking spaces. They loaded the truck without dropping anything, took the bed apart, and even moved the dresser with clothes still in it. There are no do's and don'ts as they did everything that was asked of them!

The movers showed up promptly at the time that was given to me.  They listened attentively as we did an overview of the stuff that needed to be moved and they worked very fast to get things in the truck which was much appreciated since they charge by the hour. Same with the unloading.  They were very careful with the furniture and boxes, as well as the flooring and door frames and with putting things where they belonged.  They were courteous and did a great job of taking care of our belongings.  The only issue was when it was time to pay, the hours were added up incorrectly but we got that taken care of.  We would use them again but I hope that is not necessary for a long time.

I'm a military brat/vet and seasoned mover.  This was one of the most pain-free moves (of 7+ in just my adult life) I can recall.
I began by calling the company and speaking with Chris.  I explained that I was looking for help with a local move, specifically with packing the kitchen, a huge library of books and the large furniture items associated with a 4 bedroom/3000 sf house.Chris asked a series of questions to try to get an estimate of the truck and team size to best meet my needs. 
The reason I assigned a grade of "B" in the price category is that I think Chris underestimated somewhat the amount of "stuff" I was looking to have packed and moved.  I therefore ended up paying a team of three men for 11 hours of work when I might have saved some money overall by hiring a 4-man team and having them get the job done in fewer hours.  My recommendation to Motivated Movers is that when possible, they send an experienced employee to visit the customer and visually inspect the home and its contents in order to best anticipate the needs for each customer.  While I answered Chris's questions honestly and with as much detail as I thought necessary, I think in the end, we underestimated the sheer amount of stuff we were hoping to have them move.
That said-- the team they sent was terrific.  The were, courteous, professional and treated us, our home and our belongings with great care and respect.  The asked questions, respected my wishes, and labeled boxes clearly, which makes a HUGE difference when unpacking them.

The office staff provided an estimated cost for our move. The movers were a little late arriving. It took them about an hour longer than was estimated so the price was more than we anticipated. Because the move was local the worked by the hour and did not account for weight. That saved us a good deal compared to other companies. The movers were fast and professional. The equipment was brand new. I was very pleased with their service.
