Well worth every penny!!! Isaac and Jamel was AMAZING! They worked so hard and did a fantastic job. I can’t thank them enough for doing all that hard work for me. They went above and beyond in my move. Would use these guys again and again!

This is the 3rd different local moving company I have used in the last 5 years, and they were the best experience I have had by far! For starters, the owner, Johnathan was extremely personable and accommodating when receiving my call. He was upfront on what to expect from their services and pricing. Now fast forward to moving day, which can be one of the most stressful days of our young lives. Josh and Dominic showed up on time and explained every aspect of the move, billing process, and ensured me that the entire experience would be smooth and efficient. He was not wrong, they worked extremely hard and had a positive attitude not only towards the job, but towards each other as well. The entire move was quick and stress-free thanks to Josh, Dominic and A Friend with a Truck movers. I would 100% recommend them to anyone making an inner KC metro move! Thank you for the a great moving experience!

Exceptional Experience – Highly Recommend!I cannot say enough good things about A Friend With A Truck Movers. From start to finish, they made what is usually a highly stressful day completely seamless.A massive shoutout to Josh, Jamell, and Ryan—these guys were absolutely awesome! Right from the jump, they were incredibly friendly, polite, and professional. They worked incredibly hard and fast, yet they were so meticulous and careful with my belongings. I was amazed to see them navigate tight spaces without touching a single wall, door, or doorframe.To top it all off, the pricing was great and very reasonable for the elite level of service they provided. If you are planning a move, do yourself a favor and request Josh, Jamell, and Ryan. I will definitely be using them again in the future!

Have used AFWAT 3 times. The moves get bigger each time and these guys don’t blink. I thought for sure we’d need more than 1 trip to our new home but they expertly packed in every item in one load and did it fast and carefully. They knew exactly what could and couldn’t be done with our new layout and were very patient with some of our indecision on where to put things. Also, they truly are friendly, they felt like a team with our family for a few hours on a Saturday.

Danielle

1775233234

This company did an amazing job with my move, and it was a third-floor apartment move, which was not easy. Josh and David were so efficient, positive, and hardworking the entire time. I ended up needing to move almost twice as many items as originally planned for, and these guys still finished the entire job under the estimated time for the job. This was my second time using this company, and any move I need in the future will be with them for sure.

Josh and David did an amazing job moving me out of my downtown condo! They communicated well every step of the way. And handled elevators, stairs and heavy mattresses like champs! Highly recommend them

Every time I move locally I use AFWAT because I know they’re going to be reliable and get the job done well for a reasonable price point. Josh and David moved me this time and they were no exception. Josh was super communicative and kept me informed throughout the process which I greatly appreciated. David did an excellent job as well. I had one heavy piece of expensive fitness equipment that they nicknamed Big Bertha (lol) which they took great care of along with the rest of my belongings, well within the originally estimated time. I’ve been using AFWAT for ~10 years now and no doubt I will use them next time when I inevitably move again.

Rachel Liedtke

1773506767

My second time using them and had a great experience again. We had Ron, David, and Josh. Ron really hustles and even though we were down a mover for the loading they got it done in less than the estimated time!

Sarah Morgan

1773143954

I would definitely recommend!! Josh and David were HUSTLING!! They moved my entire apartment within the 2 hour window that was quoted. Professional, take-charge, hustlers, and all around hard workers. They were a pleasure to work with and I will be using them for future moves!! Thanks again AFWAT!!

Austin and Josh were fantastic to work with. They arrived on time and clearly explained how their labor time was tracked, which made the entire process very transparent. They were extremely patient and professional while working with evicted tenants, carefully confirming what needed to be moved and what did not.Even when we had to change the drop-off location at the last minute, they handled everything smoothly and professionally. Situations like this can easily become stressful, but thanks to them, the move went very well. I would absolutely recommend them for your next move and will be using their services again.

Everett, Darrius, and Jamell showed up, worked efficiently, and handled our furniture with care. We had an overwhelming amount of moving to be done in-house as well as office to office. No problem for these guys. They move quickly and communicate to make sure all items are where they need to be placed. They went above normal duties to make sure we did not have to worry. Thanks guys, job well done. I will definitely call on these three again for any future moving needs.

Moving is difficult for both the homeowner and moving company. It's messy and emotional, even when it goes well, which means it's got to be a very difficult business to run. Knowing this, I had low expectations regardless of the company I chose. However, after working with AFWATM, I've reset my expectations of what a moving company can be.Most moving companies refuse to come on site to provide an estimate. They want to do this virtually, which is a set up for disappointment and unexpected problems on both sides. AFWATM was very amenable to coming on site to evaluate the job, which was a necessary criteria for me. In fact, it was the company owner who made the house call.I interview five moving companies. AFWATM was the best mix of online customer ratings & cost. I felt very comfortable with the job estimate and scope of work. This was a large job requiring multiple personnel and multiple trucks over two days. The moving team also handled the majority of our packing tasks too, which, in hindsight, was the best money I spent.I'm pleased to report the move went very well. The movers arrived on time on the various days they worked, nothing was broken, all disassembled items were properly reassembled, and no damage occurred at either home. That's all exemplary experience, and even more so when considering the reasonable comparative price I paid.Lastly, I'd like to mention the personnel who worked my moving job: John, Josh, Schyler, David, Anthony, Ron, and Jamell. We actually had a pretty fun time over the course of two grueling long days despite the hard work involved. All of them were extremely polite and worked their asses of for us. I'm truly appreciative. John, the owner, is a stand up guy. We experienced a few hiccups throughout the move and we handled those scenarios together in a completely professional, friendly way.I trusted John & AFWATM with literally everything I own and they were awesome, exceeding expectations in all facets. The highest compliment I can give is a public recommendation attached to my name. If you're reading this while shopping for a moving company, stop your search right here with AFWATM and you'll be glad you did. I would hire then again without hesitation.

Josh and Jamell arrived precisely on time and were patient and attentive for the duration. They worked so hard and quickly - on a holiday - that it was humbling. The only thing that allowed me to go through with it is knowing they they should have earned time and a half for their work. Thank you so much for sending such consummate professionals!

The building manager in our new apartment building recommended A Friend With A Truck as an especially cooperative and efficient moving company. Now that our move is complete, I certainly agree! Everything about this move exceeded my expectations. The person I spoke with to arrange the move was courteous and knowledgeable. Josh, Anthony, and David, our crew of movers, arrived on time and worked professionally and courteously.Ours was a somewhat challenging move, to a fourth floor apartment in a building with only one elevator. Josh, Anthony, and David shared the elevator with only minimal inconvenience to tenants. When our mattress proved too large for the elevator and needed to be carried up four flights of stairs, these gentlemen not only didn't grumble, they also moved the mattress in an amazingly short timeI did not compare movers' prices before contracting with A Friend With A Truck. I thought their price was absolutely fair and paid it gladly.There is no such thing as a "stress free" move, but our experience with A Friend With A Truck comes very close, and deserves my highest recommendation.

Craig Browning

1758556038

We utilized A Friend With A Truck Movers this past week for our new house move. Gary, Jamel, Jalen worked all day and evening loading and unloading our belongings (more than we had originally realized), and even brought in a fourth employee, Josh, with an additional truck to help out on short notice. They were all fantastic. We would highly recommend these guys to anyone looking for moving services. The price was very fair, and the guys took great care of all our items. They worked very hard with minimal breaks, and did so with enthusiasm and without any complaints. If I need movers in the future, they will be my first call, and I will request these specific employees by name.

Martin Terrazas

William Creamer

I used A Friend With A Truck Movers this past weekend to move all my larger items from a two bedroom house to an apartment. They were exceptionally efficient and very nice from start to finish. The quoting process was incredibly easy and reasonably priced for the time and effort. Once the movers arrived, they immediately went to work and boxed up my entire house in less than an hour. Another hour and a half after that, they had somehow to make multiple trips up and down four floors and set up the apartment the way I envisioned. The whole job was supposed to take 4 hours and they completed everything in 2.5! They were well worth what i spent and if I ever need to move again, I already know who to use.

We used a friend with a truck moving company this week to help us move and I must say, they did such a phenomenal job! We had Josh, Anthony and Jamell. They were the nicest guys ever, super polite and professional. They went above and beyond. We were combining two households so they had to make a few different stops at different places. They were more than happy to accommodate with whatever we needed. We had some very very large heavy items and it all was moved without a hitch. We had forgotten some nuts/bolts in their truck and Josh promptly brought them back to us the next day when I contacted them. I will definitely be using them again if I ever move. Thanks so much for all your help AFWAT!
