Delicate collectibles handled with attention and care
Over the past 7 years, we've moved twice locally and used the storage vaults with OnTrack. Every single time I've called, made appointments or asked for info, every person I spoke with has been professional, knowledgeable and communicative. ... The movers packed the rooms methodically including delicate collectibles items with attention and care. They labeled all the boxes and walked over the new space and where items would go.

Very fast and caring crew, Hayward to Livermore
Eduardo (foreman), Edgar, Domingo, and Jaime were very great and exceeded beyond my expectations. Very fast and caring when transporting from Hayward to Livermore. They also asked questions about where to put things and I am very amazed that they are very organized. I would recommend this company because their price is fair and the moving structure is very professional.

Heavy item moved with special care over hardwood floors
Ontrack was responsive and very professional. Sam was very responsive to my emails and calls. He was able to estimate and schedule in a very short period of time. I needed to move a heavy BBQ. The move required special care since it needed to come through my home and over hardwood floors. Eduardo Arqueta and Santiago Acevedo were very professional and took great care to not cause any damage. I would recommend Ontrack for any move.
