- “When it came time to move our executive offices, we employed WTMS. They moved us in a way that it didn’t interrupt any of our business activities. I highly recommend Western Tennessee Moving and Storage for home or business moves.”
- “Just want to thank you Keith O’Brien for the great job your movers did for us. The first group of Chris Cooper, Zay Baker and Cody, Matt, and Derek packed us up so carefully. It was a pleasure to have such nice young people working for us, each and every one of them very professional and caring. And when they arrived in Florida , the second crew of Josh, Jessica and Tyler were also so well trained all we had to do was direct them where to put the items. They even cheerfully moved a few heavy things more than once to get it in the right place. Your crew speaks volumes about your business. We will recommend your company to anyone we know who is moving. A thousand miles and not even one broken glass!!! Wow!! Impressive. Thank you.”– Bill and Margaret Sipes
