Moving from Chicago to LA and was looking for a reputable moving company. Who here has used one? Any good or bad experiences I'd like to here them. I also need my 5.0 and my wife's Lexus transported. Either using the moving company or Uship. I'd like your guys advice, thank you..
National moving companies?

I worked for Mayflower and United Van Lines years ago. I would recommend United Van Lines. Get quotes from a few different moving companies. They should offer some form of discount. Have the United Van Lines rep come last and show him/her the other quotes you received. Most nationial moving companies also move automobiles.
+1 on United Van Lines!
Allied does this too, right?
I was amazed at how much these moving companies charge.
So I checked at getting a shipping container and just having a real trucking company move it.
It was WAY Cheaper. Cost to buy a weather proof 40 foot long steel shipping container was $475.00 dropped off at my curb. Not a rent. I own it.
Then the shipping rates for a single container to be picked up and taken to the nearest rail center, put on a freight car and taken to the nearest point to the new location and then hauled to that location was about half or less than hiring a moving company.
