Not only were they on time, they were 20 minutes early! They didn't seem quite prepared for the job, as they used our carts and floor jacks, they did a great job packing everything into their truck. They worked quickly and loaded a 26' box truck in less than 2 hours. Unloading was complete in an hour and a half! They were respectful. and everything arrived at it's destination unharmed.
