A courteous,efficent,experienced moving company.

It was a little bit under as our reimbursement was for $15000 for my husband's job which was memorable. We have a big family. So, we had to get all of ourselves and all of our cars moved which ate up our remaining amount and then some more. The owner was my neighbor and had become friends with us. We loved him as he was a very nice person. I thought that they were attentive. It was a small town and they knew everybody. It worked as well as it could in that situation. There is no Allied in New Orleans any longer. I guess that Mr. Don Storseth who was the owner apparently had his drivers go and then used the local people. Their affiliate in New Orleans for Allied wasn't as good from what the driver told me. I knew him eleven years before I moved to Texas as he had been the driver for me. My husband was going to the cancer center and the owner was on that board. So, he sent his own driver to get us. He had been attentive to our needs for a long time. The driver had only two helpers and told me once he got to the house that the contact in New Orleans was not as good as it was in some other places. So, he scrambled to get two helpers. He told them that he wanted four helpers but they only provided him with two. The two that they had provided him with were fine and they worked hard. There was a tropical storm at that time and so, it poured rain and they had to stop all the time on the first day as it was a monsoon. It took them two days but they tripped up the narrow steps time and time again. There was nothing that was damaged or lost. We have used other service providers in the past. It was the third big move that we had made and we used them everytime. Our experience with them this time was definitely better than when we moved from California in 1990's but then we did not have a full load. We have always had plenty of things that would fill up one of their giant trucks. They gave us a significant discount. They arrived ahead of me by a few minutes when I was coming from the hotel. They could not start until I got here with the key that the closing people gave me the night before.
