Mover recommendations/disses

Any of you folks have recommendations (or anti-recommendations) for professional movers?

Yes, we like our friends so much that we're getting professionals to help with the move.

I don't remember the specific people I used, but I have a couple of pointers: Use a big company.

I used a small independant mover the first time, and they were aweful. They berated me for packing the way I did, they were rude and they lost a decorative screw for a swivel mirror, but couldn't help me when I called to get it back.

The second time I used a larger company, franchise type thing, I think. The guys were much more professional and friendly, even if they did make a couple of questionable jokes about my sewing dummies. Everything was handled respectfully and they were efficient. Definately worth the extra cost compared to the independants.
