      Handled with care

      I had a move that consisted of confidential files, packed into a large amount of old boxes. The crew managed to load the boxes in a manner which the heavy ones did not crush the lighter boxes, ensuring to place them on the bottom first. I am very pleased. I was also impressed with how well the crew managed the cubic feet of space. Once they were done, it almost seemed as if they created an entirely new wall, using my cabinets.

      Out of state moving

      Our experience with this company was very negative.

      We told them that we had enough furniture to fill a 3000 sq ft house and was quoted 2400 cu. ft. 16,000 lb tare, $10,850. to move it from Wisconsin to Arizona.After paying the deposit we got passed on to the Missouri office. When the moving van arrived the driver with the Russian accent quoted my wife at $19 -23K. When he was told to stick to the contract number he became rather annoyed and started asking my wife things like "who makes all the decisions'. Then he informed us that packing, and material was extra (would have been useful to know when we were quoted). The moving crew was not careful with our things, they broke furniture, put holes in our walls, took things out of already packed totes and put them into used boxes, and left their mess behind. What they ended up taking was only half of our stuff.

      On the other end got to deal with a different driver with an eastern european accent who informed us that we had to get a uhaul or pay them an extra $2400 because they weren't going to get the moving van up to our house.

      So for $10850 plus a local uhaul rental we got less than a 26 ft uhaul moved across country.…

    • The new estimate said it was 740cf ($5049.48) before anything was even loaded on the truck.

      1.0 Mandy Berkley Aug 17, 2026

    • They did not mention that our things would exceed the cubic feet listed on the moving estimate and did not send a revised estimate before loading.

      Bait-and-Switch: Unlawful 82% Price Increase After Loading

      TLDR:

      1. Do not use Mid-American Moving.

      2. If you already hired them, read your contract line by line before signing anything.

      3. If they overcharge you or hold your items, immediately report them to the FMCSA National Consumer Complaint Database.

      4. Don't trust all the 5 star reviews, they can be fake/bought

      Avoid Mid-American Moving (USDOT: 3181246, MC: 126479) at all costs. They engage in a textbook illegal moving scam: loading your entire life onto a truck and then demanding thousands of dollars more than your binding contract.

      A month before my interstate move from Iowa to North Dakota, I paid a $450 deposit. Three days before loading, I completed a thorough inventory review with them to ensure total accuracy. They issued me a binding not-to-exceed estimate of $2,825.00 for 521 cubic feet of stuff.

      On loading day (June 28), the crew completely loaded my household goods onto the truck. They did not mention that our things would exceed the cubic feet listed on the moving estimate and did not send a revised estimate before loading. After loading, I paid the agreed-upon $1,187 (half of the remaining valid balance). However, the next evening (June 29), the company emailed…

Local move within Des Moines, IA

Great fit!

Mid-American take excellent care of your belongings. I stored my items with them for nearly four years, and when it was time for everything to be moved back, they did a fantastic job. Everything arrived in the same condition as it left, and nothing was damaged during the process. They really know how to handle things with care.

The team was polite and professional throughout, and they worked diligently once they arrived. I appreciated how they carefully managed all of my possessions, especially since I had a few delicate items like books and personal memorabilia. Even though a few of my books ended up getting wet during the move, I have to say that overall, the way they handled my stuff was impressive.

Alex dispatcher also kept me informed along the way. They gave me a call shortly before the movers were en route, which was helpful, so I knew when to expect them. If you’re looking for a company that prioritizes the safe handling of your things and has polite staff, Mid-American could be a great fit! Just make sure to plan accordingly, and they’ll do the rest.

Worst move ever.

Would give zero stars if possible. Never use this company. They break or damage everything and pay nothing. Boxes arrived crushed. Dining room buffet dropped by mover right off truck ramp in front of me. Some things never arrived. Spent over $19K. Reimbursed $800. Took over a year to settle. Don't even consider them.
