Just as technology ushered in Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA), so has been the role of technology in bringing in a Revolution in Transportation Affairs (RTA). RTA has been made possible due to the human spirit of innovation in combination with technology giving rise to the concept of Moving Pods. Is Moving Pods just another name for plain old trucking transportation? Well they are mini truck sized containers which come in different sizes having appropriate volume to store household items of a one bedroom house, two bedroom houses, three bedroom houses or a mansion. The innovation lies in the ability of the company to deliver the pod at the customer's residence. The containers have a low flooring, adjustable securing straps, scalable racks and shelves to securely store the client's household items during transportation. Like a pod, they are self contained units which can be customized to the customer's requirements.
The terms and conditions for loading and unloading are flexible and hassle free. Moving pod companies offer a complete package which include ready to use cardboard boxes, Styrofoam sheets, bubble plastic and other packing material which absorb shock and provide additional safety to the household items being transported. Pods are customizable across the entire range of items to be moved from household good to office cubes. In case a customer has some temperature sensitive goods such as wines or electronic equipment, bio material, Pods come equipped with climate controlled. Moving Pods can also be configured to carry boats, cars, garage equipment, in fact just about anything. The customer can also track the route of his items as most companies providing these services use the latest GPS tracking technology and RFID tags to keep track of each and every pod on the move.
Moving Pods are a unique concept in the sense that it addresses both the problems of moving as well as storing. Thus they are variously called as Self Storage solutions also. The storage option is available to those customers who need time to find new residence or new offices wherein the pods can be stored away in accident and theft proof secure company warehouses. In addition to physical safety, legal support is also offered by Moving Pod companies in the form of special insurances. Moving Pods have come in a big way in United States, Canada and Europe. Services are now available not only for interstate moves but also for moving abroad. The sheer convenience and competitive pricing have made Moving Pods a concept which is likely to become the standard form of transportation model the world over.
