From the get go, Great American Van Lines was helpful beyond our belief, we had planned to move from Philadelphia back to Washington midsummer. We made all the normal decisions, started to plan and pack. We called all the usual suspects in relation to our transportation. And found that the cost involved in driving a truck was just too expensive. I called the transport and storage places and found that most of the quotes were UN realistic, either too high or WAY to low. When I started to scratch the surface the “fine print” came up and the cost rose considerably. With some googling we found this company and started to inquire. Pretty much all the companies have the same deal. At pick up they disassemble, pack it, charge you for the footage you use. I found that the transport rates were vast. However when I finally got around to Great American Van Lines a gentleman named Nathan answered my call, He was courteous, and up front. We discussed my needs and instead of throwing numbers at me he asked me what needs were. After several phone calls and price shopping we went with Nathan and Great American Van Lines. They weren’t the cheapest however the forthright honesty that Nathan displayed in his calls instilled confidence with our needs. We set a date and got a price…. Within that month we had made several changes to our transport needs, we changed delivery cities and pick up times over a half dozen times. The professionalism that was extended to us was amazing, plus the price quoted did not change. Over the next several weeks we had to maneuver our move due to our work schedules, again this did not phase Great American Van Lines. Move day arrives, a driver arrives in the AM, HE opened up the truck and I was happy to see a very well-manicured trailer and a clean sturdy loading ramp that was easy to use. Our load up was quick, easy and when it came down to it, we actually used less space than was originally quoted. I don’t think I have ever experienced a move so simple and easy over the 15 moves that I have done in my life. This was as easy and honest as it gets. Great American Van Lines will be used again by my family when our needs arise.
