Chris and Tyler did a great job! I would use and recommend Illinois Valley Movers. They were running a little late, but kept me apprised of their progress. They arrived and got to work. It was raining, but they didn't complain. Worked with me on loading the truck and making sure everything was secured. They did great work!

Lloyd and his brother did an amazing job helping us pack our house into a storage pod. They clearly have experience in their trade and know exactly how to navigate it all. They worked hard and went above and beyond to help us. They were very professional and friendly. Easy to work with. We definitely recommend using Lloyd Moving and Labor.

Originally I thought two guys wouldn’t be enough. This was the most seamless move. I’ve ever been a part of, and I hate moving (who doesn’t).. They made sure everything was properly packaged and protected, while utilizing every moment. When it’s time to unpack my container - I want those same two guys. They were fantastic!!!
