In their own words
My moving experience was not goodI'm. We told the movers before they began that I had expensive cherry bedroom furniture that they needed to take care of. I ended up with damage to my dresser, my bed, my lingerie chest and my leather chair. I'm very disappointed. I wish I'd never called them. I'm still waiting for someone to contact me regarding my damaged furniture. The day that I moved they sent 3 college students to move me. I know this because I asked them if the are firefighters.
Barbara, we're truly sorry to hear that your move in 2021 left you feeling disappointed. We understand how important your belongings are, and it’s never our intention for a customer to feel this way. … More
The movers were good, but this is a very shady business. I called to quote two hours of moving and they said it would be $200. I somehow have to pay now $200 for 45 min of moving because I now have to pay for their travel time, which they didn't tell me until after the work was done. They are 13 min drive from my house according to Google maps.
Hi Arielle, While we are glad you had a good experience with our moving team, we are very sorry to hear about your billing issues. We were under the impression that your … More
We hired to The Fireman Moving co to move laboratory items for the USDA. They did great the first two moves then on the third they sent out two inexperienced movers. They broke a $14k piece of equipment, talked to the owner and everything was good to fix it. Then he went ghost and said he is insured but only for .30 cents a pound. He said that if I were a local company and used him more he would pay to fix but since I wasn't best of luck. I don't recommend this company all!
Used this company to move into my new house. During the move, my TV screen was damaged with two gouges directly in the screen itself. They even sent someone out to inspect it, and his response was basically, “Yep, something rubbed against it. We’ll be in touch.” Unfortunately, “being in touch” turned into them denying responsibility because TVs are supposedly “too fragile” to cover. So now I’m left with a damaged TV that their own representative acknowledged was damaged during the move.
Terrible experience for us. They charged us twice the amount of the estimate! It took all day and all evening to move four bedrooms of downsized furniture. Men couldn’t put washer and dryer hook ups back together. Washer ended up leaking on floor. Men couldn’t put bed back together well and had braces and screws left over. It took over a week for someone to come back and fix the bed, after he stood me up once. Most of the men weren’t firemen. One was a college student, nice but untrained.
Need to make sure your drivers can pass a driving test prior to hiring them. Today your drivers pulled into into oncoming traffic on cemetery road and came within inches of plowing into us, so much so they push us into the other lane as we almost hit the car in the lane next to us.
We take any report of unsafe driving very seriously. We understand this is referencing an incident on Cemetery Road, assumingely … More
So right before this weekend, I assisted with a move. And previously I have used The Fireman Moving Company. At that time apart from the receptionist being rude and demeaning to me on the phone I had an overall decent experience with their …
I had such high expectations because they came recommended. There were two guys and the younger one was very professional. The older one with him spoke to me so poorly because my boxes weren’t taped. I cried twice begging them to help me …

In their own words
David and I want to thank you for being so accommodating and Professional with our move from Bowling Green to Louisville. Matthew and Felipe were amazing. They were so professional kind and efficient. It was a wonderful experience.
The guys ar Fireman Moving Company (Coco and Getty) made the move worth it. They spent 5 hours with us and didn't get irritated when we had them take furniture back and fourth to the truck because we couldn't decide if we were moving it to another location. 🙂 …
Words can’t describe how wonderful Fireman Moving company to work with. The people were amazing. All of our furniture and household items arrived and nothing was missing or broken. They put everything were we needed it. I would recommend them to everyone.
This kind of review honestly means the world to us. Thank you for trusting The Firemen Moving Company with something as important as your home and everything in it. Hearing that our team took great care of your belongings, got everything delivered safely, and helped place things where you needed…
Great experience from the first call to set the date, to easily and efficiently getting a quote to the moving day. Clare, Bill, Randy and Jackson were all great to work with. Highly recommended!!
