Q: What Is Container Moving? 

 

A: For the last 2+ decades container moving has become known as an affordable alternative to full service moving companies allowing people to move themselves and their family across town, across the state or country or, internationally around the world without the help of paid movers. Container moving is also more safe than rental trucks as the container company provides professional and experienced drivers that move your container, loaded with your possessions, from your door to your door for you. The Moving & Container Company drivers are all commercially qualified CDL drivers and have safely been handling freight of all kinds for years.

From the young to the young at heart, people from all walks of life are taking advantage of the affordability, convenience and safety in moving with a container versus a rental truck. A Moving & Storage Container Company container fits in a typical parking space and is about the size of a full-size SUV. They sit directly on your driveway allowing for only a small step up to pack your furnishings into the container. It can be packed in a few hours or take your time and pack it over the course of few days or weeks.

They are vented to allow for full air circulation and our all-steel containers are the most secure available against unwanted entry.

Q: What is the difference between container Moving and container Moving & Storage? 

 

A: Moving typically involves 5 steps: 1) delivery of your container; 2) loading/packing your container; 3) picking up and delivering your container directly to your new home; 4) unpacking/unloading your container and finally; 5) arranging for your container to be returned. Storage usually ads the step of moving your container somewhere other than your destination. This could be to another address or to our secure facility for safekeeping until you’re ready. 

 

Q: What if I need help loading/unloading my container? 

 

A: The Moving & Storage Container Company often refers clients to a local licensed and insured moving company for assistance with getting their stuff packed safely in our containers. All the companies we refer are fully vetted by us to ensure your safety and the safety of your possessions. These companies often offer an hourly rate or sometimes offer a quote to do the entire job, the choice is totally up to you. Once an agreement is reached between yourself and a moving company, they will send out a person to lend a hand, a couple of workers to load the heavy stuff, or a team to pack up all of your belongings and load them in the container. You can do as much of the work as you want, some of the work if you would like or set back and watch them do it all, it’s all up to you.
