“Gorilla Haulers completed my long distance interstate move with precision professionalism, and no stress. I needed to move the contents from three separate storage locations around northern Virginia to new home in Florida. Wilson and his crew picked up everything from each location and even provided additional packing to protect my furnishings. Mike and his delivery team showed up within 3 days on time and moved everything into my home in just a few hours either zero damage. I highly recommend Gorilla Haulers. Local company and very professional..”

Check Michigan credentials as well as federal authority
Michigan State Police lists household-goods carriers, both interstate and intrastate, among carriers required to renew CVED authority annually. Its guidance also addresses interstate carriers doing point-to-point Michigan work. Confirm the credentials applicable to the carrier’s operations with CVED. Michigan State Police: credentialing.
Review the two ends of your move
| Location | Access to review |
|---|---|
| Michigan pickup | Share the exact Michigan pickup ZIP code instead of only a nearby major city. Tell us about driveway access and any seasonal property or storage-unit belongings that need to travel with your household shipment. |
| Florida delivery | For a Florida condo, confirm elevator reservations, loading hours, and any paperwork needed for movers. Give us your first available delivery date separately from your flight or drive south. If your closing or lease start is uncertain, discuss storage before pickup. |
