So I am planning a move and would like some advice. My new university is going to be paying a significant portion of my moving expenses, and have agreements with the following van companies:

# Atlas Van Lines (800) 822-1791
# Allied Van Lines (800) 999-2487
# Mayflower (800) 381-4528
# North American Van Lines (661) 663-9575
# United Van Lines (888) 693-4110

(The phone numbers are for my safekeeping)

Does anyone have any stories to tell me about these companies? Any friends or relatives or friends of friends have great or tragic experiences with them? Those of you who are super up to date with environmental records and what not, heard any horror stories (or hymns of praise)? I'm going to call at least two or three to compare prices, and maybe all five. But I'd like to know if there are companies I should avoid or be more encouraged to go with.

Thanks!
