Originally, Ray and Leona Diehl founded the company in 1949, when they purchased a truck in the hopes of making enough money for a down payment on a farm. Ray's Transport was founded. The 1946 Chevrolet 2-ton is still in the family. It has been restored and can be found at the occasional parade, filled with Ray and Leona's kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids, tossing candy to spectators.
In 1954, Ray's diversified into moving and storage. This remained a small part of the operation until Ray's Moving and Storage was incorporated as a separate company in 1973. Ray's is also a member of United Van Lines, which is made up of 200 privately owned moving companies in Canada. Today, United Van Lines is Canada's largest network of moving companies and the only Canadian controlled van line.

My dining room furniture (6 chairs and the buffet) was badly damaged; as was my leather couch, a colonial cabinet, my brand new TV stand, my sewing cabinet, a broken shelving unit. And both lamp shades damaged. They damaged a doorway going out of the house, and damaged a doorway going into my new place! All this in a 5 block move! Disappointed and disgusted - two of the three men were long time employees; management were rude and inconsiderate. Overall experience is less than 0 ... do NOT use them!

Avoid unless you want to be ripped off!
This company is terrible. They quote 50% less than they actually charge, then state that additional fees must be added because of "weight". My girlfriend, who weighs 110 lbs, and I were able to move our 2 bedrooms worth of furniture by ourselves in 2 hours. We had no large appliances and everything was already boxed up. I'm a little bit perplexed as to how light ikea furniture constitutes an additional $800 charge.
