My cousin John and I were close growing up in the east, and when he went out west to start his own moving business, I followed him soon after. Working for a family member gave me the chance to learn and grow like no other and I had my own moving company in Nanaimo in only a couple of years.

Moving in Sidney has been a good business for my brother and I. We began with one smaller truck and worked with the OO movers group as much as we could. It was not too long before we both saved enough to buy our own trucks. Even though the economy in Victoria fluctuates, people always need to move and my brother and I will be ready to help them.

One of the best perks of moving is all the things customers give you. There is often not enough room at the new place and it is given to us or the dump. I have never bought a piece of furniture in my life. Everything in my well furnished home is a collection of carefully cultivated castoffs, always being upgraded by a new treasure and then being sent on to my networks of used goods consumers around Campbell River.

Everyone should own a few moving pads. Not only do I have over 100 in my truck, but I have some in my car and my home. Nothing works better for a portable bed or blanket. Thick Egyptian cotton pads are perfect to soften the ground for a picnic and two folded over make an impromptu futon any place and any time. You can never have too many moving pads while moving around Langford.

The better things are prepared when we show up to the job, the quicker we can finish up. A big help for us in Courtenay and Victoria is having boxes that are all the same size. This helps me stack them quickly and cuts the jigsaw puzzle of packing the truck down to just the furniture. The other important thing is to describe your belongings as accurately and with as much precision as possible to your Move Coordinator. The better the information we have, the more we can be prepared and the smoother your move will go.

I care about your move in Campbell River because I have a vested interest in your satisfaction. If I make a mistake, I take responsibility for it. Mistakes on the job affect my reputation and my bottom line, that’s why I work hard so mistakes don’t happen. From the start to the end of the job, I focus on keeping my reputation spotless. Every time I get a new review on the internet about the Victoria Owner Operator's site it makes me smile all day.
