Comments from our Drivers

From an article from CNN entitled Portraits of a changed America, below is a statement from long time Arpin driver Paul Adams....


I head back into the showroom, where I find Paul Adams, a 67-year-old Air Force veteran from Little River, South Carolina. His primary job these days is moving families from place to place. His main client: the nation's soldiers and Marines.
Every time he leaves one of their homes he offers a salute: "A veteran to a soldier, for everything you're doing for me, thank you."
He speaks in a voice as smooth as Morgan Freeman's. The biggest impact for truckers is at the gas pump: Gas cost $1.53 a gallon on 9/11. They also face extra security checks everywhere they go now. "If I had to take off every piece of furniture, I wouldn't mind. Whatever it takes to make this country safe."
On a recent trip to Washington state, he says, a motorcade escorted a truck that barreled by him. The rig carried a beam from the towers.
"I stopped and saluted. That's how it affected me," he says. "That's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen."





From a past Arpin Driver and his comment on the blog - driver appreciation.....

Good morning Dave.

I really appreciate how you worded this blog. I felt I was a good driver in the moving industry. I really miss it. I love being home with my family, but I feel like something is missing. I will get back out there (probably in the spring) ready to be better than I ever have before.  The industry has it's problem, I suppose they all do. However, I cannot imagine doing anything else with the pride and satisfaction I had moving families. I look forward to seeing you this spring. Until then, take it easy.

Comment from a driver on the blog piece of driver appreciation.....

Well said. I was 15 years on the road. Thank you. You made my day.



From another long time over the road Arpin driver on the Appreciation blog....

Out of all the movie tickets, hats and dinner coupons that you've given me over the years, that was the most heartfelt, and sincere statement that I've ever read and it feels damn good to know that someone truly understands what this job is all about. You can't please everyone, but you seem to know those that give their 100%. We appreciate you as well and keep the hats and dinner coupons coming ! Lol


From one of our top agents....on our post on driver appreciation..

They are NOT drivers, they are MOVING SPECIALISTS. And I agree, they are all you said .  It’s a tough job and the majority of them put their whole hearts into.
