The moving industry is constantly experiencing minor impacts with the type of services they offer their customers. Every once in a while, a major enhancement is made to provide a convenience for people who are moving. A perfect example of a convenient product that is used for moving today is a new type of moving containers they call PODS. PODS are portable on demand storage containers that offer plenty of benefits and advantages over moving trucks. Big trucks, trailers, and vans are still being used by thousands of people every day.
However, more and more people are now using PODS to save money. For example, the cost of using a truck or a van for a move is increased because of then need to pay for the gas used. Gas prices are constantly rising every year and people are looking for ways to avoid a big amount of cash being sucked out of their wallet. PODS are dropped off at the customer’s location and shipped to the customer’s new location for a certain fee. There is no stopping off at gas stations to top off a huge truck or van being used to move a person’s possessions. These possessions are shipped ahead of time through the use of PODS. The pods can be sent by rail or by truck.
People who are simply planning on storing their goods at a facility can also save money by using PODS. Instead of paying for a rental van or truck, and worrying about the cost of gas, people can make an appointment to have Pods dropped off on their property. Once the container is full, the customer can make an appointment to have the container shipped to a local storage facility.
The entire process of using a PODS has nothing to do with a person worrying about putting gas in a big van or a truck. Furthermore, PODS are much easier to use because they are set down on the ground. Moving trucks are equipped with a steep loading ramp that makes it difficult and dangerous to load heavy items. PODS do not require a loading ramp and heavy furniture and household appliances can be carried in by hand without walking up a steep ramp. PODS are also great for homeowners who are undergoing a remodeling project.
