Shipping Business of the Future Solves Problems of Today

After delivering more than 120,000 shipments a fresh take on simple, environmentally sustainable shipping services has emerged

 Moveitem.com and the parent company Motorcycle Shippers, LLC announced the largest expansion of their services in company history with the release of their website and sustainability-focused shipping services. The online platform is one-of-a-kind when it comes to simplifying the process of getting a moving quote for large, heavy and fragile items. On-demand, instant online rate quotes are available in just a few clicks.

• In the U.S, about 36% of heavy-duty trucks run empty
• Moveitem.com aggregates shipments inside the network to fill empty spots in the trucks
• The network is also participant in the US EPA SmartWay Program for clean and efficient trucking fleets.

When it comes to the freight-moving industry, change has historically been slow. That is until now, entrepreneur Clint Lawrence has reimagined it by focusing on the special needs of large, heavy and fragile shipments with an overall goal of reducing the carbon footprint of the network. 

Zeroing in on the needs of each shipment means MoveItem has the ability to provide a more customer-centric approach than you may be used to. Here is what that means. Let’s say you are a dentist on the third floor of an office building, and you need a dental chair. Plenty of trucking brokers can get a dental chair shipped to your building if it’s properly packaged in wooden crate or secured and wrapped on a pallet, but MoveItem can transport that dental chair without all the special packaging. They can even bring it to the third floor and place it in position for you. And they don’t just ship dental chairs. If you have any special delivery requirements or reverse logistics needs for your large or fragile shipments this white glove service is for you. 

Here is another example of how MoveItem can take lemons and turn them into lemonade for your business. The conversation around “emissions” has always been a bit of a black eye on the trucking industry. But by addressing it directly through shipment aggregation, MoveItem has been able to change the conversation to one of environmental sustainability. 

Would reducing your company’s carbon footprint be an attractive look for your business? Would MoveItem’s last-mile service help your business “finish the job” for your clients? Try out their shipping calculator, then have an honest conversation about what this service could do for you.
