Citizens Transfer & Storage Co., Inc., a name synonymous with prompt, dependable service, traces its roots to Arizona's territorial days. Three local businessmen founded the firm in 1907. In those early years, Citizens Transfer was a local drayage and cartage company. Tucson had few roads, so virtually everything came to town by rail. Company employees would go to the rail yard, load shipments onto horse-drawn wagons, and haul the goods to homes and businesses throughout southern Arizona. The company has been successfully moving families across the street, across the nation, and around the world for more than 100 years. They are an agent for Allied Van Lines, known as "The Careful Movers" because of the professional way they approach each assignment. Citizens Transfer has a staff of specially trained moving counselors who create a logistics plan that includes packing, special handling of fragile or bulky items, and details like optional valuation coverage.
