Stallion Movers has become Stallion - Premium Partners in Moving
The moving industry is outdated, un-regulated, and it is one of the leading causes of stress in people's lives. It brings fear, frustration, anger, and generates plenty of emotion just thinking about the process of moving. At Stallion Movers, We are hoping to help move the industry in the right direction. With the Canadian Association of Movers on our team, and a history of outreach initiatives, we are trying to change the perspective of movers.
Throughout our conversations and surveys, what we have discovered is that the main chronic issue is that many undervalue what movers do. It is a difficult job that is undervalued financially, mentally, emotionally, and physically. When moving is undervalued, we are forcing the industry to stay a low-priced pit of anguish and distrust. In North America, many unfortunately do not view blue-Collar workers with the value that they truly bring to society. These workers deserve to be paid fairly and promoted as quality citizens, because often they are doing the jobs that others are not interested in. They want to work with their hands, they are happy to perform physical labour because they were built for it, and in time they will become skilled in their trades.
How can we help change the industry? Start by changing your perspective on movers and other blue-collar workers. View them with appreciation because they are doing what others do not want to. Looking beyond price is another important way to assist in changing the industry, when it comes to booking your movers; "cheap work is not good, and good work is not cheap!" Lastly, thank your movers when they do a great job and leave a great review for that business! If they did do great offer them a tip to show those individuals that you appreciate their hard work.

Stallion Movers has created a "Real Value of Moving" image. It showcases everything that goes into owning a moving company. Not unlike other small businesses, there are a lot of costs associated to running and maintaining a quality business. Every dollar you spend on our service helps to cover these costs, supports our awesome staff and our wonderful community!
Despite the absence of a formal education or program at a reputable college, Moving is a trade. Months of training, hard work, and dedication in required to learn the skills of the trade. Only after thousands of hours or up to a couple years on the job do you really learn all of the tricks, and know how to move like a pro.
At Stallion Movers we start our employees with in-class training, followed by practical training, and finally on the job training. This makes sure everyone starts off on the right foot and ensures that our Relocation Technicians are skilled enough to take what they have learned and start putting it into practice on the job! Only after several months of training do our Technicians begin working with other guys at similar skill levels. Overall, it can take up to a full year before a Technician becomes a Specialist and can be sent out on their own to lead a crew.
The following are graphs that showcase Stallion Movers & Other Professional Moving companies value in comparison with doing it yourself or hiring low-cost less qualified movers. These graphs are based on Cost, Reliability, & Satisfaction when choosing between these different types of moving companies. They compare Expected (Hopeful) Outcomes versus Real & Accurate Estimated Outcomes.
Cost
When not using professional moving companies like Stallion Movers, quotes rarely align with the actual cost of service. Even when you service the job yourself the hidden fees, KM fees from renting, insurance fees may be worse than anticipated. Stallion Movers always quotes on the true value of a job.
Reliability
When not using professional moving companies like Stallion Movers the reliability of most companies may leave you disappointed. Everything from extremely late arrivals with no warning, or movers that do not show up at all leaving you stuck for your big day! Stallion is always reliable and will update you when we are on our way!
Satisfaction
When not using professional moving companies like Stallion Movers you may not be completely satisfied with the overall outcome. Although unforseen circumstances can, and do happen during moves, it is the way that things are handled that make the biggest difference. From initial contact through to the final item placed, you will be completely satisfied with Stallion Movers professionalism and commitment to doing the job right the first time!
Though the moving industry may be full of those trying to scam and steal from customers, it does not have to be that way. Stallion Movers is helping to lead the change within the industry, however WE NEED YOUR HELP! The only way we can help to change the industry is if ordinary people start placing value on the trade industry, including moving, and the effort it takes (not just the cost).
Overall, it is important to understand that to create a small business and operate it legally and professionally, it takes blood, sweat, and tears; tremendous effort, debt, and courage. This should be valued because it creates jobs within your community helping us to build a better world by placing value where value should be placed. Value the courage, and try not to ask for discounts. Support your local trades-companies. Sure, you could do it yourself but if you do not want to, or cannot, support a business who can by hiring their services. With that in mind, if you do not pay a fair value then you often get what you pay for. This perpetuates an industry of scams, hurt feelings, and unmet expectations. The true value of any trade is that it provides great service through years of experience, expertise, and equipment you most likely do not own to service jobs the right way. And that is worth paying for!
This is what you receive when you pay for our service. Choose your local professional providers and support your community!
