Moving Services About & Trends

Moving is certainly for fun and rarely a decision. Families move because of corporate transfers, house sale or change in the rental occupancy. The move can be local or long distance.  Major companies in USA involved in this industry are Moving Masters NY, UniGroup, Graebel and SIRVA to name a few.  Forty plus share of business is held among fifty companies.    

Trucking and warehousing plays a major role in this enterprise. However the professionals should also be expert in packing especially in sensitive product category.  Transportation is done by trucks and delivery vans as well.  Most of the goods transported are family furniture office equipment and furniture as well industrial equipment and furniture. The former is known as residential moving while latter is commercial moving. The companies are often referred as packers and movers.      

Storage is provided for long term as well as short term basis. Home relocation which accounts for more than fifty percent of turnover generally requires short term storage. Most of the storage is done at company owned warehouses which is more trustworthy. In case of public facilities mix up can take place and their could loss due to this. Logistics and efficiency is a must for a good relocation enterprise this can be done with own trucking in place. Warehousing services are specialized service since the category of products being transported may differ.  

Trucking is a special operation but many relocation have their own in place. The vehicles are in good condition manned by a dedicated staff well versed with transportation of household goods and furniture. Large trucks and mid sized delivery vans are good enough for the job. The vans are most suited for local transportation.

The industry faced its worst during the economic slowdown in US whence the operations of many companies came to a halt. This was mainly impacted by new house purchases which came down drastically. However the status is improving thanks to settling economy. By the year 2020 a good performance is projected. For all the moving services some regulatory laws apply besides safe guarding the environment concerns in USA and else where.
