It is common knowledge that speed and execution are keys to success in US Business. But what if you need to start up a new operation, or move to a rural location? How can companies quickly find, hire, and train qualified workers in a new market? The answer is “they can’t”. These activities take time, and rushing your personnel decision is a gamble that costs more money than it saves.

However, there is a solution… take your employees with you. New options for household goods movement make moving employees and their families much more affordable. It used to be that only highly compensated, or high-demand skill set employees justified the cost of a corporate move. Now with options like VanPack basic service from Pack and Ride, Inc., a company can move a production worker across the country for less than it costs to find and train a new employee.

With this service, Pack and Ride will drop a trailer off at the employee’s house. The trailer is filled over a two day period. (More time can be negotiated). Then the trailer is hauled to the new location, usually within 5 to 7 business days. Contract labor can be used to pack, load, and unload household goods at reasonable rates in most parts of the country.

Now companies that rely on a steady stream of skilled manufacturing workers are able to move them from the upper mid-west and Northeast to new locations. A typical 28 foot trailer move can be completed for between one and three thousand dollars. Add contract labor on both sides and you are able to provide full moving service to your employee for less than five thousand dollars. Regional moves are much less. One big cost advantage of this service is that employees can drive their own car(s) to their new home, and save on expensive auto shipping.

Pack and Ride’s VanPack service saves money, and it is much less stressful on your employees than driving a rented truck. Keep your good people by moving them instead of gambling on new hires. Save time, money, and retain good people by using a service like that offered by Pack and Ride, Inc. of Richmond, Virginia
