Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Over half a century! 53 years now.
What is your primary product or service?
We provide top notch moving and storage services for local, long distance, interstate and international relocations for both residential and business/company customers. Tradeshows,and specialty products distribution as well.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
In the boom years during the fifties we filled a niche for quality service at affordable rates and it was a way to put food on the table while serving the hard working people in the area. Having served in the ARMY in logistics and procurement this expertise allowed me to at first run my own rig, build a reputation for excellence and then evolve to running my own agency.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Our mix of "old fashioned values" such as integrity, reliability, professionalism, and a genuine apprecitation of our customers, combined with the very best of modern Hi-tech systems provide the best of both worlds to our customers. We never forget that it is because of our customers that we get to provide for our families and prosper! A lot of businesses seem to forget this fact nowadays. Moving is stressful and we try to minimize this through a personal and knowlegeable service and a genuine appreciation of our customers needs. Being another run of the mill mover with a "take a number and stand in line attitude" towards our customers has never been,is not now, nor will ever be, part of our business model. We know our customers work hard for their money and belongings and we are not afraid to do the same for them.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We are currently one of the only movers who are locally headquartered and Van Line affiliated.
