When 24-year-old Lauren Vlach traded the country music, barbecue and cowboy boots of Tennessee for the rolling Great Plains, she was nervous.⁠ ⁠ As a first-time mover, she wanted to hire help, but she had to stay within a tight budget.⁠ ⁠ Vlach found a website that would give her quotes for a number of moving companies.
