What Safety Means to Us

Our approach to safety goes beyond accident prevention—it's about creating an environment where crew members are protected and your personal items are handled with care.

Our safety measures include:

  • Rigorous Training – Our crew members are regularly trained on proper lifting techniques, equipment handling, and road safety procedures.
  • Protective Equipment – We use quilted moving blankets, tie-down and ratchet straps, carts, and dollies to safeguard both your belongings and our team.
  • Pre-Move Inspections – We evaluate each location to identify any hazards such as unstable stairs, cramped pathways, or slippery floors.
  • Licensed and Insured – Shoreview Moving and Storage meets all municipal, regional, and national regulations and carries complete insurance coverage for property and transport.

 

Employee Safety Standards

We prioritize the safety of our crew. Our movers receive:

  • Ongoing Safety Training – From lifting techniques to safe cargo placement, our team members are coached on best practices to minimize safety hazards.
  • Use of Safety Gear – Protective gloves, lumbar support, non-slip shoes, and other tools are provided as required.
  • Safe Work Conditions – We monitor weather, access conditions, and equipment functionality before and during each job.
  • DOT-Compliant Vehicles – All trucks are regularly maintained and inspected according to Department of Transportation regulations.

 

Keeping Your Items Safe

A key component of Moving Safety is ensuring your property is protected throughout the relocation process. We safeguard your items with:

  • Protective Padding and Wrapping – All tables, chairs, and breakables are wrapped securely to prevent scuffs, damage, or breakage.
  • Secure Loading Techniques – Our crew uses structured loading and professional packing methods to minimize movement in the truck.
  • Specialized Handling – For pianos, antiques, electronics, and other valuables, we use equipment and strategies tailored to each item.
  • Inventory Tracking – We label and document your belongings to prevent any items from going missing.

 

Following All Required Moving Regulations in Haymarket

As an experienced moving provider, we strictly follow applicable regulations governing professional moving operations, including:

  • FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) standards for interstate moves
  • Local licensing requirements for moves in Haymarket
  • Insurance coverage minimums for property protection and liability insurance
  • Driver qualifications and hours-of-service rules required for safety and compliance

By choosing a company that understands and follows these rules, you help guard against hidden expenses, moving slowdowns, or accidental losses.

The Importance of Choosing an Insured Moving Company

Helpful Safety Guidelines for Your Move
