Had a move scheduled with them and despite being outside the start window ilthe rest of the move went flawless. The extra time actually gave me a chance to pack more and they graciously loaded those boxes up. Although I didnt have a lot to move, everything was very heavy and I was initially concerned but they had the muscle and tools necessary to get it loaded and delivered with no damage. They were able to get it done under the quote and placed everything at destination with no issues. This was the 2nd time my partner and I have used them and we will continue to in the future.

We moved to a new city 2+ hours away, and everything went incredibly smoothly from start to finish.A huge shoutout to Jamell, Everett, and Cody—they were professional, efficient, careful with our belongings, and had great attitudes the whole time. They made what could have been a stressful day feel easy and even enjoyable.I truly appreciate their hard work and would absolutely recommend this team to anyone needing a reliable, top-notch moving crew. Thanks again, Jamell, Everett, and Cody!

Moving day was a breeze! The movers were all friendly and professional. They kept everything light hearted and fun as I chaotically realized we were moving too much stuff and I wasn't prepared! Definitely recommend to anyone wanting to hire locally owned. I have other family who are moving soon and they'll be calling

I had this wonderful company come move me today and I can say only positive things about them.The three young men who moved me worked their butts off, lifted some very heavy furniture, and were able to complete my move in less time which saved me money in this already stressful moment of my life. They were quick, efficient, and incredibly kind. They took amazing care of my furniture and did a truly phenomenal job. I could not be happier with their superb work as that would exceed my happy meter, which is already full.I would give this company 500 stars, but unfortunately only 5 are allowed. I highly recommend A Friend With A Truck Movers to all local folks in the KC and surrounding areas looking for the best movers around. You will be very happy, just as I am now!P.S. My mom has already decided she will be using them in the future for her move! Mom and daughter recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We recently moved cross country and had A Friend with a Truck pack up our three bedroom house into a pod. Jamell and Everett were punctual, professional, efficient, and took extra care of our items to make sure we used as much of the pod as possible, and that our stuff would be protected when it made the trip across the country. I would absolutely use them again.

The scheduling process is pretty simple and Dori was thoughtful and realistic when we were talking. I was originally scheduled for a three man crew, but as the move date was coming up. I realize that I wasn’t going to have enough stuff to warrant such a large crew. Thankfully, the owner John got back to me after hours the evening before our scheduled move and he adjusted our time so we ended up saving some money on a smaller crew. Thanks!

A Friend With a Truck made our moving process simple and efficient, all at a GREAT price. We found them through a flyer in our apartment commons area and are so glad we did. The booking process was easy and straightforward, and they were able to get us on the schedule quickly. Jamell and Everett moved us from the River Market out South, and they both were personable, punctual, and professional in everything they did. Their years of moving experience showed because our apartment complex is tricky to navigate out of, but they moved quickly and strategically, with 0 damage to any of our items. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience- thanks for all your hard work, Everett and Jamell. We truly appreciate you 🙏
