Moving To Or From Murray State University

When you think of moving, what is the first picture it conjures in your mind? For most people, they think of a challenging time, or even an uphill task they would rather not be doing any time soon. What’s funny about this is that moving is a universal process which every human being must go through at one time or another in their entire lifetime. For the average American adult, this amounts to a whopping 12 times in their entire lives. Therefore, as you prepare to move to or from Murray State University, you can be sure that it is a process you will do over and over. However, it does not have to be a daunting and stressful thing to do. We have moved thousands of folks right here in Kentucky and all over the country for the past twenty years and counting with great success. Therefore, we believe that your student move is going to be just as smooth if you stick it out with us.

How to have a smooth student move

Moving needs not be daunting task for you as you move to or from college; just follow these clever moving hacks.

Pack like a pro: Save on time and space by packing items as they are, without taking them off the hangers- just cover them with some plastic. Another fantastic packing hack is rolling clothes rather than folding so as to take up less space, and using kitchen towels as padding for your plates.
Re-purpose: Use your suitcases to pack heavy items like books. This is because suitcases offer a sturdier build to hold heavy items than a box does.
Seek moving advice: Moving is a process you cannot hope to undertake by yourself. Seek help and advice from people you trust. Alternatively, you can call up a local mover and ask any moving queries you have. We at A1 Auto Transport Inc would be happy to offer free moving advice.

Advantages of hiring professional movers for your student move

Another way to get rid of moving day stress is by hiring a professional mover. This is not the only advantage of hiring professional movers, others include;

Heavy lifting: Professional moving companies train their crews on the best practices to use while lifting heavy items and furniture without injury to themselves or others, and harm to the walls and floors.
Faster moving: When professional movers take over your moving, you can be sure that your moving time will be shorter. They are able to pack, load and unload faster than you would. Plus, they don’t have to do many trips to get your items to your new location.

How to find the best university mover

Finding the best mover to match your needs can be a bit confusing due to the large number of moving companies out there. You may follow these tips to help you in the process.

Visit the physical address: Pull out the company’s address details from online listings and visit it to verify their location. Moving companies that are operating from a residential address are not the best choice to settle on.
Professional accreditation: Before a moving company can receive accreditation from any professional body, they are vetted. This means that they must have achieved a high level of service delivery to be accepted as a member of a body like the American Moving and Storage Association.
Interview the company: Since you know exactly what you need for your move, you should consider calling the companies to ask the most pertinent questions about your move. This will help you eliminate the ones that are not forthcoming or do not have satisfactory answers.

Satisfied Customers

“I am super happy with my choice of A1 Auto Shipping. The other company I worked with was super difficult, though it did teach me a bit about the industry. Some brokers underbid by a lot, so they’ll get your contract, even if there are no carriers who will ever want to take on a job at such a price. Because of this, after signing the contract, they may leave you hanging endlessly. I had to get my car to Kentucky and had no time for pointless waiting. The other company asked me to pay $800 upfront. I didn’t know at the time this wasn’t standard practice. By paying upfront, I basically had no choice but to wait on them till a truck finally offered to take my car. A1 Auto Transport, for example, only asks for a deposit amounting to a fraction of the total cost when picking up your vehicle. You only pay the full sum after the job is done. The broker, whose name I won’t mention, was supposed to get a truck to my doorstep on the 5th of September. I put my order in 10 days prior, so there was plenty of time to find one. When I called them, they told me the 5th was actually the earliest estimate, and the actual pickup date could be quite long time away. After “accidentally” charging another $700 for my transportation, I was in tears. I had to move in less than a week, and I couldn’t afford to leave my car behind. So, I gave up on those guys and opted for A1 Auto Transport. I spoke with Joe and he got my car on a truck the following day. I am so grateful! The arrival time was estimated at 6-8 days, and it got to Kentucky on the 7th. This saved me a ton of money I would have had to spend on transport to search for an apartment. Joe called a day earlier to let me know of the time and place it would arrive. I asked if it could be delivered to another nearby location, and he was nice enough to do it. He was very helpful and straight forward. Thank you!”

“After calling and texting a bunch of companies, it was a gentleman by the name of Joe who finally clarified what the transport industry’s all about. He explained the process in simple terms, and answered all my questions in short, clear answers. I chose his company, A1 Auto Transport to move my car to Utah. He didn’t disappoint. My ford was delivered on time and in perfect condition. Thank you for your hard work and attention to detail! The professionalism and passion you put into this work really shines through everything you do, from that first call to the transportation itself. Bonus points for always answering the phone and staying in touch during the transport. Good work!”

Good work!

“Since it was my first move, I fell straight into a transportation scam on my first try. I paid a deposit to a supposed company, but nobody ever came to pick up the car. I learned my lesson, and searched the internet for every company I could find. I looked through reviews, read their sites, eliminated the ones who seemed suspicious, and finally settled on A1 Auto Transport. Joe understood my position and skepticism immediately and spared no effort to reassure me. I don’t know about the rest, but this company is legit. They picked up my car on Friday, November 7th at 1 pm and delivered it to New Mexico on November 10 in the morning. The entire team was very friendly and professional. Thank you for all your help!”

“I though taking my car to Connecticut was going to be the most difficult part of the move. And until I found Joe and A1 Auto Transport, it was. Fortunately, from that point forward it was handled flawlessly. A month ago, I tried a website which promised to find me a company with great rates. More than a dozen carriers took me up on the offer, so I chose the one that was the cheapest. Instead of showing up, he called on the shipping date to tell me his truck is getting repairs. I waited 2 more days before finally cancelling the order. I lost a week pointlessly, and my family and I were supposed to move 2 weeks later. I searched some more and chose a broker with a seemingly good reputation. After a week of waiting, I finally stopped waiting for him to find me a truck. Finally, a work colleague to which I was complaining about the situation, recommended A1 Auto Transport. He’d used them in the past and recommended them with a ‘thumbs up.’ I called Joe that same day. He told me it was peak shipping season. Some companies, instead of telling you they’re full, may choose to simply let you wait in case one of their other clients cancels. Fortunately, he had a truck available, and he sent it my way immediately. In a couple of hours, my car was on its way to Connecticut.”

“Before I agree to any terms and conditions, I do a little research about a company. I learned that A1 Auto Transport has been suggested even by my closest friends. I tried to send them a text message as a start and received a timely response. The entire process was a breeze. My car arrived in Maine in less than a week. I was amazed they had so many options to reach out to customers. All my requests were noted, and they reminded me of the status of my shipment. It may sound crazy, but it felt nice there is a company that would make you feel important even if you’re new at this kind of thing. Good job guys!”
