I have been in the moving business since 2008 with multiple companies. I decided that if I truly wanted to make a difference, I had to be in control of how the customers were serviced. In 2015 I made that decision to open Agility Van Lines, Inc. and have never regretted it.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
You have to do your research; you must check for driver/vehicle inspections. Find out what happens to your items after they are picked up. Does it go to a warehouse at origin? Does it go on a tractor trailer to be transported? Does it go into a warehouse at destination? Who is going to deliver me? Unless you are requesting storage, the more times you are handled the higher chance for damage and finger pointing.Ask direct questions. Is it the same crew and truck that picks me up, that delivers me? Please read all your paperwork before giving a deposit. You may be surprised to find out the deposit you gave is nonrefundable. You could easily pay hundreds if not thousands of dollars for a conversation. What you sign supersedes what you were told. If you ever have a problem, your paperwork WILL determine the outcome. Set yourself up for success. READ
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
What is the purpose of my move? If I got hurt, would that set me back considerably at my destination? Do I need some packing services? Do I need storage, or can I accept direct delivery? How soon do I need to receive my items? Do I want the same crew at pickup and destination? How many times do I want my items handled? (minimum is 2) Am I willing to read the contract I sign before I give a deposit? Am I willing to pay a fair price for the right mover? Am I willing to post a positive review if it so warranted?
