In most cases there's really no way to predict how long your move will take.<br />Here are some factors and conditions that can cause a move to go shorter or longer than usual:<br /><br /><u><strong>Carry Distance:</strong></u> During Loading or Unloading there have been occasions where we've had a long distance from where the truck is parked to the entrance to the door. I recall one move a few years ago where the client had to park the truck about 100 yards from her apartment. The closer the truck is to the home, the less time it takes to load it.<br /><br /><u><strong>Truck Size:</strong></u> Having a truck that is large enough to fit all of your belongings in one trip means less time your move takes. For example; A few days ago we had a client that wanted us to move her from a 4 bedroom town-home. Her move included a motorized bed, treadmill, elliptical, multi-use weight machine, as well as a house and garage full of boxes and standard furniture. The problem was she rented a 14 foot Uhaul. When I explained that it wasn't all going to fit in one trip she was surprised. Her move took 2 trips. Had she rented a 26 foot uhaul it could have been completed in 1 trip and saved her $180.00. I always say I'd rather have <strong>TOO MUCH</strong> truck than not enough.&nbsp;</div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Wonderful Review from Peter about super movers pdx in Portland, OR.]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.supermoverspdx.com/scotts-blog/a-wonderful-review-from-peter-about-super-movers-pdx-in-portland-or]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.supermoverspdx.com/scotts-blog/a-wonderful-review-from-peter-about-super-movers-pdx-in-portland-or#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Wed, 25 Feb 2015 15:34:46 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.supermoverspdx.com/scotts-blog/a-wonderful-review-from-peter-about-super-movers-pdx-in-portland-or</guid><description><![CDATA[ We recently had the honor of helping a wonderful family.

A piano, a 400 pound all in one weight machine, a big ass treadmill (its big ass and it is designed to help reduce a big ass) a couple a flights of stairs, narrow hall ways and these guys did a GREAT job. Not a single nick on any wall. What they had to take apart to move, the weight machine and the treadmill they put back together without a single glitch. They are very professional and think through the process to come up with the best plan. And finally they are nice folks. When they were done my wife had a big smile on her face and thanked me. They did all the work and she gave me the credit for making a great choice to hire them!

There's even been one occasion when I've shown up for a move and the customer asked me "Where's your truck?". &nbsp;This is why I always explain to folks on that initial call <strong><u><em>the difference between a moving company versus a moving labor company</em></u></strong>.<br /><br /><strong><u><font size="3">What are the differences?</font></u></strong><br />A Moving / Labor company supplies <strong><u>everything but the truck</u></strong>. <strong><em>You</em></strong> rent and drive the truck.&nbsp;<br /><br /><strong><u><font size="3">How does this help you?</font></u></strong><br />It saves you TONS of money. The lowest price I have found in the Portland Metro area for two movers, equipment, and a truck is about $115 per hour with a 3 hour minimum. That company is a Licensed ODOT moving company that is Bonded and Insured here in the state of Oregon per the ODOT guidelines for Transporting household good.&nbsp;<br /><br />We charge you $30 per hour, per mover, with a 2 hour minimum. This includes Hand Trucks, Flat Dollies, Appliance Dollies, Furniture Pads / Blankets, Ratchet Straps, Bungees, Tie Downs, Plastic Furniture Wrapping, Tools for assembling or dis-assembling furniture, plus our expertise. We have over 10 years of experience loading and packing trucks with household items.<br /><br /><font color="#2a2a2a" size="3"><u><strong>Let's do the math:</strong></u></font><br /><font color="#a82e2e"><em>Ordinary Moving company:</em></font><br /><font color="#a82e2e">5 hour moving job at $115 per hour=&nbsp;</font><br /><font color="#a82e2e">Total <strong><font size="3">$575</font></strong></font><br /><br /><font color="#a82e2e"><em><strong><u>Super Movers PDX:</u></strong></em></font><br /><font color="#a82e2e">5 hour moving job at $60 per hour= $300</font><br /><font color="#a82e2e">Your Truck Rental: $80 for the day</font><br /><font color="#a82e2e">Total:<strong><font size="5"> $380</font></strong></font><br /><br /><strong><font size="4">That's almost a </font><u><font size="5">$200</font></u><font size="4"> difference!</font></strong><br /><font size="2">(<em>Can you say "No Brainer"?

Of course renting the right size truck is helpful and can determine how many trips your move will take. But our experience allows us to do things safely and&nbsp;</span>efficiently with your belongings inside of a truck that most rookies can't do. It's been called "Playing Tetris with Furniture". We understand weight loads and support strength and how to maximize the amount of space the truck provides.&nbsp;<span style="line-height: 1.5;">&nbsp;</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: initial;"><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: initial;"><span style="line-height: 1.5;">So, now you understand how using Super Movers PDX can save you money.

This can vary from a few boxes needing to be taped up to clients looking like they forgot they scheduled us to move them that day. This poses a problem for us for a number of reasons.<br /><span><br /><span><font size="3"><strong><u>Common Questions:</u></strong></font><br /><span></span></span><br /><span></span><br /><strong><font size="3" color="#2a2a2a"><span></span></font></strong></span><strong><font size="3" color="#2a2a2a"><em><span style="line-height: 0; display: none;">&#65279;</span>"Can you guys start loading the furniture while we pack everything else? Then you can load all the boxes and stuff?"</em></font></strong><span style="line-height: 0; display: none;">&#65279;</span><br /><span></span><br /><span>~We pack your truck in a certain order to maximize the amount of space in it. We always start with boxes and furniture items that provide a stable base for more boxes. This allows us to do you move in as few "trips" possible by being able to pack the truck as tightly as possible. This also helps protect your belongings. A tightly packed truck means less movement as you're driving to your new home or storage unit.<br /></span><span>~When </span>things aren't packed then we end up waiting around for our customers to pack their things. This takes time and cost you money. We're on the clock after the contract is signed and having our crew stand around and wait for you to pack your things can get expensive for you.<br /><span><span>~To have us carrying dressers, chests, beds, couches, etc. around your home while you are packing and stacking can be dangerous. We can't be stepping over boxes and other items in hallways while carrying your heavy things. We could get hurt, items or property could get damaged, your family, friends, or pets could get hurt.</span></span><br /><span><span><br /><span></span><br /><font size="3" color="#2a2a2a"><strong><em><span></span>"Can you please be careful with our TV's? How do you protect those in the truck?"</em></strong></font><br /><span><br /><span>We have the ability to protect your electronics, mirrors, pictures, etc inside the truck. HOWEVER, in most cases our clients prefer to transport those in their own private vehicles. It is safer if it will fit in your car or truck AND your expensive or fragile items are in your possession the entire day. YOU supervise who has it and where it is at all times. I have owned this company for years and we have NEVER damaged a Television. If you have the means to put your TV in the original packaging then that is another great way to protect it. <br /><span><br /><span></span><br /><span><font size="3" color="#2a2a2a"><em><strong>"Can you move this dresser over to that wall? Wait, I don't like that there. Let's move it over here. Wait, that doesn't look right either. How about...."</strong></em></font><br /><span><br /><span>We often are asked to place furniture where it will eventually end up</span></span> permanently. However, we do run into clients that aren't sure where things will end up and during the unloading of the truck we are asked to "...move this to there and that to here." We ask that if you need us to help you "Decorate" and "Arrange" we will do that after the truck is fully unloaded. Why? Because we find that once the truck is unloaded we can focus more of our attention on helping you. Arranging your furniture is something we will be happy to do for you but we want to handle one thing at a time. Remember, we are on the clock until you tell us you don't need us anymore.<br /><span></span><br /><span>For more information on how to make your moving experience go fast and smooth you can click the link below and read through our F.A.Q. page<br /><span><br /><strong><font size="4"><a title="" href="https://www.supermoverspdx.com/faq.html">http://www.supermoverspdx.com/faq.html</a></font></strong></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's Time!!
