Port City moved us from Mooresville to Ohio in September. The guys did a great job, and NO damaged items. My wife broke her ankle the morning of unload, so things were a little crazy, but the team adjusted.

Port City came highly recommended but our experience with them just goes to show that we should've read the negative reviews about this place. We reached out to get assistance for our cross-town move and were given what we believed to be a flat rate quote based on a conversation with one of the employees of this business. The job was quoted without ever visiting our home or asking for pictures of the items that needed to be moved. I falsely assumed that these guys knew what questions to ask to make sure they understood the level of effort required to complete the job. Obviously that was not the case! On the day of the job, it became very apparent that they had drastically undersized the effort required to complete the work. Snide, snarky and rude comments were pretty much non-stop from the time they arrived until the time they left. Several hours into the job, we were hit up with "we undersized this job and you'll need to pay us the hourly rate when we start to run over". They stopped wrapping our furniture and just begin putting whatever they could in the truck. It got so bad that finally just told them to leave some of the things that were supposed to be moved. We also felt so uncomfortable with them that we followed the truck between locations to ensure that our stuff arrived at our new home. Ultimately, they unloaded everything in the foyer at our home leaving us to figure out how to get it up the stairs or to it's final destination. Followups with management the following week were equally frustrating. After the 3rd phone call, I've decided it's not longer worth my energy to continue to complain. I'm hopeful by writing this review that others can avoid the absolutely ridiculous and horrible experience we've had with this business.

Moved substantial family unit things (beds, washer/dryer, furniture, pendulum clock, open air furniture from house to capacity unit close-by
It rained the day we moved! The movers took specific consideration to pull the truck as close as could be expected under the circumstances to the house, then made a plastic shelter from the truck's top to the entryway patio covering. This permitted my furniture to be moved without getting wet. They wrapped my pendulum check in covers and ran plastic and tape around it. They took great consideration of my stuff, and worked like trojans that evening.
I plan to utilize them again to move those things from capacity into my new house.

The year 1611 marked an important time for trucks, as that is when the word originated. The usage of "truck" referred to the small strong wheels on ships' cannon carriages. Further extending its usage in 1771, it came to refer to carts for carrying heavy loads. In 1916 it became shortened, calling it a "motor truck". While since the 1930's its expanded application goes as far as to say "motor-powered load carrier".
In some states, a business route is designated by adding the letter "B" after the number instead of placing a "Business" sign above it. For example, Arkansas signs US business route 71 as "US 71B". On some route shields and road signs, the word "business" is shortened to just "BUS". This abbreviation is rare and usually avoided to prevent confusion with bus routes.
The United States' Interstate Highway System is full of bypasses and loops with the designation of a three-digit number. Usually beginning with an even digit, it is important to note that this pattern is highly inconsistent. For example, in Des Moines, Iowa the genuine bypass is the main route. More specifically, it is Interstate 35 and Interstate 80, with the loop into downtown Des Moines being Interstate 235. As it is illustrated in this example, they do not always consistently begin with an even number. However, the 'correct' designation is exemplified in Omaha, Nebraska. In Omaha, Interstate 480 traverses the downtown area, which is bypassed by Interstate 80, Interstate 680, and Interstate 95. Interstate 95 then in turn goes through Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Furthermore, Interstate 295 is the bypass around Philadelphia, which leads into New Jersey. Although this can all be rather confusing, it is most important to understand the Interstate Highway System and the role bypasses play.
“Writer-director James Mottern said he was influenced by nuanced, beloved movies of the 1970s such as "The Last Detail" and "Five Easy Pieces." Mottern said his female trucker character began with a woman he saw at a Southern California truck stop — a "beautiful woman, bleach blonde ... skin tanned to leather walked like a Teamster, blue eyes.” - Paul Brownfield
The 1950's were quite different than the years to come. They were more likely to be considered "Knights of the Road", if you will, for helping stranded travelers. In these times truck drivers were envied and were viewed as an opposition to the book "The Organization Man". Bestseller in 1956, author William H. Whyte's novel describes "the man in the gray flannel suit", who sat in an office every day. He's describing a typical office style job that is very structured with managers watching over everyone. Truck drivers represented the opposite of all these concepts. Popular trucking songs glorified the life of drivers as independent "wanderers". Yet, there were attempts to bring back the factory style efficiency, such as using tachnographs. Although most attempts resulted in little success. Drivers routinely sabotaged and discovered new ways to falsify the machine's records.
