Professional Moving At It's Finest

Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

A. Our most common types of jobs would include household moves where there is either stairs or large furniture involved. In these tumultuous times the consumer is trying to save money wherever possible. Especially when unforseen circumstances lead to an unexpected move. They aren't calling a major Van Line to come out and charge an rediculous amount of money. They are renting the trucck themselves and then hiring the same level of a professional for a fraction of the price. Emergency moves have become frequent as sometimes people are given very short notice to leave a property .

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Ask lots of questions. About anything you may want to know pertaining to your move. If the service provider is unsure of himself you may want to consider working with a more reliable source

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. If you are packing your own items before a move. Try and be as packed up as possible because that will make the move flow much faster. Put all of your valuables(jewelry,Ipods,gold)in a closet or somewhere the movers wont have to mess with. Better safe than sorry. Dont forget to offer them water if they are working hard

Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?

A. The only thing you need to know before seeking me out is having a need of the service. At the very least I can offer a free consultation whether or not I receive the work. A consultation can occur at anytime before the move whether it's a month before or a week out. Once you call I can help you come up with a plan and hopefully answer any questions you may have. Other than that, don't wait JUST CALL !

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. I have 10 years experience from some of the greatest movers to ever touch furniture. Our since of pride eminates through our ethics in work as well as in life.

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. I love being able to provide a service that is both equally challenging and rewarding. Moving families and taking the stress level down considerably during moves is a very gratifying for us.

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. Do you have a truck? How big is your truck??

We are a labor force company which means all
you have to do is rent truck and we put everything in it!
You will not be disappointed! We pride ourselves in our efficient workmanship. Renting the truck yourself lets us keep our prices low.
So save some Money!
If you have a mover provide you a truck ask to see his PUC License as that is the legal method he should be using to do so. If not, you are using an illegal mover that is contributing to this downfall we are experiencing in this economy . Just plain unamerican

Best Wishes and talk to you soon

Q. Do you have a favorite story from your work?

A. There are too many to list. I would consider the legacy of what I'm trying to build on the road in front of me and the legacy I've left behind to be my fondest memory as the experience as a whole has changed my life forever. I approach each move with a sense of eagerness and excitement. If one comes up in the future I'll gladly let you know.

Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?

A. The amount of technical skill that encompasses moving is gargantuan. From how to pack a single glass to carrying each individual piece of furniture correctly to not injure your fellow worker or yourself. One of my goals is to master my trade and so far its been a wonderful journey. I will nerver know it all, but i can try!

Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?

A. 10 years ago almost exactly I began the study of moving. My best friends father was a mover, and a good one. During the summer of my 18th birthday i went on the road traveling the continental U.S. thinking I was just going to have a summer job. That couldn't have been further from the truth. As summer ended my abilities had increased drastically, as my friends father would say" You're a natural". I stayed on the road for 2 years straight and eventually moved out on my own seeking a more stable lifestyle of sleeping in my own bed every night. 10 years later I'm still doing the same job I fell in love with as a young adult. Still learning new trade secrets and new techniques everyday. This business never gets old, new people, new places. Something different everyday, new challenges keep the excitement alive.

Q. Tell us about a recent job you did that you are particularly proud of.

A. I recently performed a move and we had a particularly late start. 6:45 PM. 2nd floor storage unit to a single story home. The customer had no other option but to move after work so we accomodated her schedule and were able to load and unload in less than 2 hours. Mind you it was a 4 man crew. The more men the more money, but also less time.

Q. Do you do any sort of continuing education to stay up on the latest developments in your field?

A. I am in contact with a lot of business owners and leaders of my field. We frequently discuss new ideas and ways to improve our businesses. As far as technique goes there is little left for me to learn, the new developments are mostly how to reach clientel and build a customer base. Customer service remains to be one of the most important aspects of our business and it's what makes the great stand out from the good.

Q. What are the latest developments in your field? Are there any exciting things coming in the next few years or decade that will change your line of business?

A. Ironclad Moving Systems is a company performing services in the ever-growing labor force industry of moving. It enables you to save a considerable amount of money in lue of a full service mover. By renting your own truck(which is extremely reasonable) it allows you to take advantage of our great service. We bring all of our own equipment(pads,straps,dollies,etc) At Ironclad, Moving is our passion. We enjoy our job and look forward to taking the stress out of your move.

Q. Describe your most recent project, what it involved, how much it cost, and how long it took.

A. Our most recent project project of note was a commercial job where we removed all of the weight equipment from a room and replaced it one the floor was replaced. It took 8 hours and cost $800. It was one of the easiest projects we have undertook in recent months

Q. If you have a complicated pricing system for your service, please give all the details here.

A. 1 man $30/hour 2 men $60/hour, etc.
We charge a Travel fee of $25 dollars to compensate for fuel and wear and tear on the vehicle. Other than that unless you have a piano or gun safe of massive proportions that is all you can expect from us at the end of the day.

Q. If you were advising someone who wanted to get into your profession, what would you suggest?

A. It takes a special breed of person to be a mover. Demanding physical work like you've never experienced. I would suggest attempting to find initial work during the summer time as it is easily our busiest time of year. You should have no problem getting on a crew somewhere if you can prove yourself worthy.
