I have moved around a few times so I'm familiar with moving companies. Let me tell you, Thunderhorse moving company is the best run moving company I've ever had to use. A group of guys handled my entire move in the exact time that was allotted and they did a wonderful job. Professional from start to finish and really took care of your furniture and supplies. They take their work serious which is hard to find these days. I will be using Thunderhorse in the future if I ever need to move again.

Mover's response:
It was a pleasure to help with your move.

These three guys did a fantastic job!!!! At the end of their day they were asked to drive from the San Fernando Valley area to Bakersfield to load our belongings onto our moving trailer, no big deal you say! Wrong!! These three guys drove out to Bakersfield in 5:00 traffic, and were on time!!!! That in itself was a feat alone!! Then they load our trailer in record time!!!! Yeah I’d say they did a fantastic job!!!!!! I would definitely recommend these 3 gentleman for sure!!! Thank you guys !!!

Mover's response:

The helpers from Thunderhorse were available for assistance and questions and helpful before, during, and after the move. Thunderhorse set expectations reasonably and honestly, and worked easily with us to make moving-day less-stressful and far less overwhelming than previous moveshabe been for us. The helpers (Turo and Josuea) were polite, professional, prepared, and even fun. Good folks.

Mover's response:
Thank you for your feedback, Kayhrin. It was a pleasure assisting you with your move!
