Terrible company to hire or work with. Here are all the secrets they don't want you to know. Their call center is located in Canada and the representatives tell you low prices and entice you with free estimates so they can arrive at your home and once there, truck team members make up their own price and are instructed to charge as much as possible for daily revenue goals and also profit sharing reasons. Secondly, you are given a 2 hr window for your appointment but might end up waiting around all day as drivers could care less about when they arrive at a job. Thirdly, nothing is donated or recycled as they claim in their website. They dump 95% of items in the landfill and sell the other 5% to thrift shops. Fourth, they pay minimum wage and hire 95% of people that were just released from prison with dangerous felonies and/or are on parole. Be very careful who you let in your home as they are known to steal and rob. The motto is we will make our money one way or another. Fifth, the price is suppose to be based on how much space you take up in the truck but their truck often times has items already in it or is filled with garbage bins, dollies, ladders, and other items they use to fluff up the truck. If you can look at the truck from a overhead view through a window or by climbing up on a truck you will see all the empty space you are paying for. Sixth, the company will always try to tact on extra fees when they are not necessary or are explained. Labor fees, bed load fees, and even additional extra time fees are all ploys they use to bump up the price. Save your money and time and do your research and pick a company that will charge a lot less and do the same job.
