The moving Industry

The domestic Moving Industry has become more and more seasonal.

It use to be that we started to get busy in April and work our way up to a very bust May, June, July and August and mostly stay busy right through the end of September.

In the very good years we would start in April and take us right through December.

Not so today.

We seem to start in May and stay crazy busy till August then we see a fall off.

This could be for several reasons and it remains to be seen if it will once again go back to stretching out the busy a bit more.

One thing for sure we are all feeding out of the same troft more then ever and the competition is stiff and so is the demand for quality moves.

It still can be a lucrative business but we all find ourselves consistently trying to find ways to improve what we do. You have too because technology demands it and our customers demand technology.

The last three years in particular have been a crazy ride with the military new way of distributing their moves. The industry, Van Lines and drivers have been adjusting ever since.

Once again we are all under the microscope and the demand is for better, faster, cleaner service.

Kinda simple, you do a good job you get more work you don't do good work we all struggle.
We all find ourselves tethered to each other also, if you do a good job on a move but somebody else down the street messes up their score effects you.
That is why we all need to be aware that we hold our own destiny in our own hands.

That job that you are doing could mean the difference of more offers down the road.

Because we are more seasonal then ever we need to be more profitable.

Work smarter not harder...catch up with technology.
