"I have to say, I did not have great expectations hiring a national moving service for a big move from Austin to Albuquerque recently. Mostly because I have had mediocre experiences with big moving companies in the past. Boy, was I wrong! Both Joe Kim, my primary contact, and Lori, one of the logistics people, were outstanding. There wasn't a single glitch along the way, and National's systems were outstanding. I was timely informed about everything along the way, in an unobtrusive way. Highly recommended! Bonus was they were very economical."
