Absolutely amazing service! The gentleman who delivered our goods today (Robert, Terry, Curtis, & Steven), were top notch, and I'm very happy with how smoothly everything went. From the get go, they had great attitudes, were very professional, and you could tell they genuinely cared about taking care of our things and helping us document things that were damaged from the previous movers who packed our stuff up. I'd like to note that it was NOT Central transportation systems that caused the damage. And while all four gentleman were truly incredible, I want to really highlight Robert. I'm fairly certain he was the lead supervisor of the group, and he runs a tight ship, which is appreciated. You can tell when someone takes great pride in their work, and he was a shining example of that. Between the four of them, they unpacked what was originally a 4bd/2bth house in about 3.5 hours. I can't recommend this company enough. Hopefully we aren't moving for a good while, but I will rehire them in an instant whenever that day comes! read more

Terry, Curtis, and Adam from Central transportation Systems have done an amazing job moving our home from Texas to Germany. They arrived on time, worked quickly and took great care with packing up our things. They were also friendly and professional, communicating next steps and timelines throughout the process. They went the extra mile by laying special protective sheets on our floor and carpets when moving our boxes out of the home into the truck -- something no mover has ever done for us before. I would highly recommend this company for anyone looking to move. read more

Hey, shout out to Robert and Stephen, who helped us finish a difficult move and made it a pleasant experience in the process, which I thought was absolutely impossible. They moved approximately 4500 pounds of furniture and boxes into our garage after these items had been in storage. Our freezer was at the back of the truck. They dug the freezer out and staged everything, so when it was ready to go in, there was adequate space and organization to gain access to the wall where it was going and then promptly moved the rest in. I have rarely been impressed by movers but these guys did it! read more

Let me just put this out there. Long distance move and it was not an easy move from snow storm, delays and the stress of everything. When it finally arrived Rob and his staff Kendrick (who loves wood), Christine & Steven made everything forgettable from my AM call to the actual unloading of the truck. These guys & gal were very professional, handles our items with care and work hard. I will definitely hire them again and be giving them referrals. As far as for the 1 negative I read you have to remember you hired United movers should of gave them a bad review on there on business. Rob is an independently owned & just hired by United to unload. I know because I too hired United and will not anymore. I can say without a doubt I have gained 4 new friends here in TX. Do yourself a favor if you need local movers here in TX go and call Rob and you will definitely thank me. Thank you read more

I'm just wrapping up a great pack and load in CENTEX. Terry and Curtis were amazing as they worked through the Texas heat and ensured meticulous attention to detail on my belongings. I have no doubt that the my items will arrive at the distant end in perfect shape based on the care they took in packing and wrapping everything. I've moved several times over the years and both Terry and Curtis were the best I've worked with. Definitely ask for them if possible. read more

Robert, Kendrick, Ryan, and Ruben were extremely helpful, fast and efficient! They all came with great attitudes and made moving so much less stressful through their jokes and humor! It felt like we had friends helping us move rather than a company. We would 100% hire this team to help us move again. Thanks guys! -P & A Choi read more

Used Central Transportation Systems for my military move from Nebraska to Austin TX on Sep 27, 2019 and couldn't have been more pleased with the speed and care that Kenneth Terry and his fellow mover had with my belongings. Start to finish they were able to move a 1br apartment amount of items from the truck to my 3rd flr apartment in less than 3 hours. They also picked up all of the packing material & boxes that we didn't need anymore. Although I didn't have a say in who would be moving my items, if I had the opportunity to choose my movers, I would definitely go with these guys esp Kenneth Terry and his crew!! rr1847@nyu.edu read more

Having moved numerous times within the same city (San Francisco), after 4 years, it was finally time to make the big capital "m" Move. My furniture was picked up in San Francisco and hauled over 2 weeks to the fair city of Austin, TX. There, I was met with aplomb and good cheer by Robert and his crew of pleasant professionals. Despite the 70% humidity, Robert greeted me with extremely positive humor, and the grin on his face was genuine. Despite being a cynical fellow, when he said the words "I love what I do, and I take pride in what I do", I believed him without a trace of irony. And boy, was he good at what he does - he promised me to unpack my furniture (up 4 floors and a substantial series of hallways, I might add) within an hour, and right at the 60 minute mark - wouldn't you know it - he DID. When he discovered some moving damages to my television from the packing crew in San Francisco, he became genuinely disappointed and impressed upon me the utmost importance of reporting a claim to my move manager. He even took photos on his personal phone and reported it to HIS manager, just in case! I could not have been more amazed by his speed, skill, and absurdly upbeat demeanor. I was sweating like a hog at a roast just standing around, and yet he and his crew performed strenuous physical labor with dignity, precision, and over-the-top focus on my customer experience. He urged me to direct me around my apartment with his furniture so it was placed exactly where I wanted it, and to not just "put it anywhere that's convenient" - he actually wanted me to be satisfied with the setup as soon as it got off the moving truck!! I could NOT recommend Robert highly enough. I felt as though he truly wanted my comfort and satisfaction levels to be as high as possible. Moreover, he was thorough in ways I didn't think possible. If you need someone to make your moving experience as stressless and smooth as possible, make no mistake: Robert is your GUY. read more

Update: Customer service at CTS provided me with a partial refund and told me they are making changes to make sure future customers do not have the same experience that I did. The person was a lot more responsive than the moving agent I dealt with previously. read more

AMAZING! I recently collected furniture for those who lost everything during Hurricane Harvey down in Port Aransas. I called around to a couple of different moving companies looking for some sort of discount to haul a semi truck worth of furniture down to those in need. I wasn't having any luck...until I called James at Central Transportation Systems. To my surprise, James COMPLETELY donated two semi trucks to help me take everything down. We only ended up needing one, but we filled that thing up completely. They got a customer for life out of me. I tell all of my clients (I'm in the real estate business) about them. Kudos to James and his crew! read more

Central Transportation Systems - Movers Near Me - Austin, Texas

movers were careful and efficient with household goods. Made my transition from the military seemless and effortless I highly recommend these movers for military or non military moves. There are a lot of stressors when exiting the service and central transportation services made that process a lot easier! read more

Central Transportation Systems offered courteous, efficient, and professional service! From the moment I started coordinating my delivery on the phone, to the moment the unpacking crew left my new apartment, it was easy and straight forward. The unpacking crew, Roy and Calvin were both very experienced, professional, and friendly. It was easy to tell that they've been doing this work for years and knew what they were doing. read more

I don't even know where to start with these movers. I guess from the beginning they were a much cheaper option for our international move. They assured me the items would fit in a 20 ft container, spoiler alert, they didn't. The packers were a crew that clearly did not know what they were doing for packing or inventory. They put random items from several rooms together, we found cigarette butts in our boxes, someone ate a lemon like an apple and left it on our marble counter tops and it ate into our seal so we had to reseal it. The packers themselves were a rag tag group of people that included an elderly woman, someone who was injured, and a guy that I think stole from us as he didn't come back after the first day. I will say they were hard workers, but given the physical limitations they would have to be to get it all done. Oh and we weren't allowed to help and my husband had the flu which is why we didn't just do it ourselves. They used so much fluff that things just wouldn't fit and they lacked common sense. We told them not to pack several large items unless there was room. They packed them first instead so that we had to tell them to unpack it all and they didn't listen. Also, we had a stack of credit cards and checks stolen from a drawer they weren't even packing as we had placed all items to be packed out in the middle since we weren't moving everything. Try dealing with fraud when you're on the other side of the world. Super awesome. The initial shipment went out two weeks late and we were never told even though we directly asked. They claimed it would take 3-5 weeks total, 9 weeks later we finally had our first shipment. Our second didn't go out until a month later at least even though we were told it would be a week behind. So we had pan lids without pans, printers without cables etc. for a month. Then, instead of just paying the 3000 difference to get a larger container, we were told sending as overflow would be much, much cheaper. Yeah, we finally were billed In January, more than a month later, for 2400. Not to mention that once our initial shipment left, we were given zero info on it. No tracking or status when I would email to ask. Actually no response AT ALL! To simple questions like "did you send out our overflow? when can we expect it? How much does it cost?" I literally heard nothing from them for weeks! I sent multiple messages as well to everyone I had contact info on. They had all of our earthly possessions and felt it was appropriate to ignore us. I had to research on my own to find tracking information and its how I discovered things went out much later than they told us. The lack of communication really astounds me. I was speaking and dealing directly with the owner or operator and it was crickets. I waited 4 months to write this review as I wanted to make sure they didn't mess with our belongings or mess up the import process. I can't tell you how awful these people were. Maybe with a local in city move they would be fine, but overall they give united van lines a really bad name. The ONLY person that was helpful at all was the director of operations. he was friendly, brought in a knowledgeable crew and made them reorganize it all. I do not recommend. read more

Damaged items. Missing items. No responses to calls and emails. My bed and chairs were damaged. The albums that belong to my mother were broken. read more

They would have been more helpful if the had tools. No box cutters or hammers. They spent a lot of time arguing with each other. It caused a few things to get broken. It was a stressful day. read more

Central Transportation Systems was so awesome to work with! Miss Linda, Christine, Kendrick, Ryan, and Robert were all great! Everyone worked very quickly and was very professional. The crew was very professional and made me feel very at ease during the stressful move. Work was done in an organized way, and the group worked together very well. Definitely would recommend for packing and moving needs! Thank you! read more

James at Central Transportation has set me up with moving twice in the last few years. I elected to pack my own stuff and had them move all the furniture and boxes. It's impressive how fast and efficient they were both times both with our move from between apartments, and then a house. Central also donated the use of an 18 wheel truck and a driver to transport donations to Port Aransas after hurricane Harvey. read more

Best experience I've had thus far with a moving company. I was only able to give them a 5 day notice on my move due to a promotion and Roy, Javier and Arturo did a great job with getting all of my things packed and moved in less than 24 hours. read more

STAY AWAY!! If this is the Central Transportation that Ben owns and Rollin is a salesperson for - do NOT and I repeat NOT use them!!! They are not the people/company you should entrust your move with. They severely damaged part of our building, have installer that took 4 hours to put up a bookshelf - to which they didn't use drywall screws and we had to pay more installers to properly put up, they stepped on, thereby breaking a ping pong table, and then refused to pay for the table to be fixed. They didn't tie down the contents of one of the moving trucks - whereby EVERYTHING crashed during the move... another time they only put in a refrigerator (although they did tie that down)... and set the truck on it's way. (BTW: you pay per truck per hour.) If we sat down for a cup of coffee and I told you everything - you would be in shock. Do NOT trust them with your business. read more

It's always scary to make a big move and finding a diligent company to pack your home is never an easy task. BUT-We had a great experience with central transportation systems. Kenneth, Terry, and Jorge were friendly, and got right to work! read more

We used Central Transportation Systems for our move July 2021. Christine showed up earlier than we expected and got right to work on packing up all of our belongings. She was nothing but courteous and professional and worked diligently to complete the job in just one day instead of two. We have nothing but good things to say about Christine and Central Transportation Systems! Would definitely use them again if given the opportunity. read more

I have moved 10 times in the last 20 years with the assistance of professional moving companies, and this move was very disappointing. Sales process -- good. Very prompt to provide bid and solicit business. Service after the sale -- poor. Wrong address, specialty piano mover did not show, damaged items, 3 month delay for inspecting damage, claim denied and no help from local agent. read more

Adam handled our paperwork right on schedule and Ray and his crew were very congenial and hard working. Our furniture and other goods were handled with care and came through the move unscathed. I would use them again except I plan on never moving again! read more

Sandra come out twice to my house and provided a detailed bid that was on point. She didn't pester me trying to get the sale but gave me all the information I needed. She even told me about government websites that help consumers with the moving process. I was really worried about being scammed or tricked & she did not do that at all. She was readily available whenever I needed to contact her. On the day of the move, the 3 guys that loaded our house for the cross country move were incredibly efficient. I thought it would take all day but it only took from about 9-1pm to load the truck. They came promptly on time that morning too. It was raining that day but they keep the house clean and maintained a positive attitude during unpleasant weather. It took 11 days to get our stuff, moving from TX to NY. I'd been warned by other friends who had moved cross country to assume the final day of the window of time will be the actual delivery day. They were right. If they tell you your stuff will arrive between the 6-12th, go ahead and count on it being the 12th. The guys moving our stuff into our new place were also hard workers and quick. The biggest issue we had was that a couch leg was broken off while in transit. How can a metal leg get sheared off like that? They blanket wrapped it but apparently that's not enough. The claims process has been easy. They sent out a guy a few days later to check out our couch. Supposedly it can get fixed. Still waiting on that. Our stuff didn't get held hostage for a higher price, they didn't try to upsell us, everyone I came in contact with was professional yet kind. I just wish our couch hadn't gotten broken. read more

I worked with Sandra and the Central team for our in town move late last year. Sandra came by my home to give me a customized quote and was very patient and thorough in answering all of my questions. Her communication was consistent, friendly and timely putting to ease any concerns I had about choosing a moving vendor for the first time. The movers were fantastic, friendly and worked as a team to get out of one house and in the new one in less time that Sandra estimated. And on top of that her team hooked me up with a ton of boxes eliminating an extra cost that I would have had to eaten otherwise. I would recommend Sandra, Mark and the Central team to anyone making a move cross town in Austin. read more

Recently moved my daughter to Austin and Central Transportation must have been contracted through Mayflower, as this is who our contract was with. Two men moved her possessions into a first floor apartment. They were professional ( although arrived later than the 2 hour window) but not overly friendly. They did NOT cover their shoes or protect any carpet flooring - even though we expressed concern over two new area rugs. They even placed a bicycle directly on an area rug instead of leaving outside or asking. One lamp arrived broken but everything else was fine. read more

I used this mover to move my stuff into their storage unit for 11 months. During that time they went through my household goods, broke some and stole others. They have refused to acknowledge their behavior and make appropriate restitution. DO NOT USE this mover at all. They lack integrity. read more

Adam provided my quote and was wonderful. This is our first cross country move. We had 6 guys load and pack a few items. They did a great job protecting our wood front door and wood floors. They arrived on time and were done within 5 hours. They took great care in wrapping all of our furniture. And carried it all with care. I would highly recommend them. read more

I've moved a lot, this is by far the worst. Central Transportation Systems out of Austin, TX told me my things would be delivered in 2 weeks. Then the day before delivery, they called to tell me it would almost 3 MORE WEEKS. They're communication is terrible and I will be reporting them to the Better Business Bureau and FMCSA. read more

the worst company ever. will never use them again. delivery date was 9-15 and my freight still has not arrived. this place is a joke.
