I moved from Massachusetts to California last December. I recommend Atlas Van Lines. Background: I originally used one of these brokers as you described without realizing what I was getting into. About a week before they were supposed to pick up my things, they told me they were still trying to find an available crew to actually do the job. I have a flight booked in two weeks so now I’m panicking and calling up any places I can find. When I called Atlas, the local rep I talked to calmed me down and explained in detail how he’d heard this a million times before, that Atlas was one of about four legitimate moving companies that aren’t just brokers (I’ve forgotten the others he mentioned), and that the source of the problem was due to deregulation of moving companies several years ago. Long story short, they came through in the clutch, picked up everything no problem, and delivered it no problem. Of course YMMV.
