Why did you choose the Moving Business?...Ken


Driver and past driver of the month and manger of Arpin of San Francisco, Canadian driver Ken Berry and his wife Becky.
Why did you choose the moving business?
- I admired the kenworth cabover my brother drove, all the places he had been, and the public HHG stories he used to tell me.

What was you most challenging move to date?
-A hot shipment of24000 lbs a full size car on a 48' trailer coming, out of a an agents dirt floor whse with no services, IE-electrical etc, with over a 120 degree's on the humidex. Agent had no labor on month end. Couldn't get access into the whse till 10 AM and it all had to be loaded that day, (Friday). 

What were the greatest challenges during the move and how did you overcome them?
-Putting up with the stagnant heat, dirt floors, giving my wife a concussion and almost knocked her out, late labor that fell asleep up rite, having the owner return into the late evening to pull lite out of other shipments so we could see in the whse, all stores were closed for food, as we had just run out in the truck, absolute filthy and exhausted when done and finishing up at almost 7 the next morning. Departed and locked up before anyone arrived.

Over came all these challenges because this husband/wife team really enjoyed and loved what we did. Therefore every shippers origin and destination was always an adventure, good or bad.
