This time, they worked with me as I had to reschedule the move twice. Both times, they were super friendly about finding a time that worked for us.
Negative Route 66 Moving Reviews
Multiple items were damaged and they completely destroyed our TV. They broke our bed frame because they did not want to take it apart. Several items were in the truck with little to no protection.
Yelp
Upon delivery three issues cropped up. First, a box was missing. An important one with all my files in it. They never found it.
They charge minimum 3 hours even if the job is done within 1 and half hour. Plus $60 for the truck even for 0.7 miles moving distance.

Arrived promptly. Wrapped up furniture with care. One of the movers was awesome -really conscientious fellow. They lost my utility knife I lent them, which I specifically asked them to return.
Yelp
I do think that Route 66 has very fair pricing, but your move experience will likely depend a lot on the crew you get. Some of their crews are very, very good. And some are mediocre.
Yelp
After much back and forth, I was reimbursed the second day fees. I can't confidently recommend them, and I won't hire again. Three pieces of random art did not make it from my last place to my new place.
