What does All My Sons do to make Customer's moves safer?

Safety is a big issue. Truck Safety 1st:
Traffic is always our first issue. Imagine afternoon traffic on hwy 217 from Lake Oswego through Tigard and Beaverton any weekday afternoon. Our All My Sons drivers have their helpers to assist them on right turns and backing up. When the men arrive at the customer's home they park as a two man team. When we block roadways we put out cones or triangles.
Strenuous Labor: Most people are not used to moving heavy furniture all day, our All. Plus just doing outdoor work into the mix. Portland Oregon is known for rainy slick conditions. Up in the West Hills, Skyline Area, Sylvan, Mount Scott and the rest of the Willamette Valley for that matter can have early morning or late night fog. We work through all of it. We just put down ramp runners and step carefully. Furniture Moving Safety. One of the things they makes All My Sons stand out is how our men pad wrap the furniture in the home before we actually move it. They put the pads on tightly, as if gift wrapping, then tape the pad to itself. This allows the item to be moved without the item's drawers or doors to come open and holds the items together. One of our mottos is to use the tools. Moving can be back breaking work and our men know how to lift with their legs, how to move items in unison and- more importantly- we the equipment and the knowledge to move an item using straps. Straps can be used to carry an item in a straight up and down way without putting any strain on their lower back.
