			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Summer is here! This means that in every city in the U.S. <em>everyone</em> is moving, and when we say <strong>everyone</strong> we mean it! 70% of all the moves in the U.S. are performed during the summer months. Elephant Moving &amp; Storage has years of experience on how to pass the peak moving season successfully.</p>
<p>Your Austin moving company is aware of the increase in move requests at this time of year, so <strong>scheduling is highly supervised</strong> in order to ensure that we are able to maintain our high quality services on every move that schedules. Elephant Movers makes careful efforts not to <em>overbook</em> our calendar in order to make sure we can provide every customer with an accurate time for his move and the high quality services we are known for.</p>
<p>Elephant Moving maintains crews of <strong>professional movers</strong> all year round (we don’t use <em>day labor</em> or <em>sub contactors</em>); our field crews are trained in how to maneuver and transport house hold goods in the most <strong>careful and efficient</strong> manner using techniques that have been developed by us over 12 years in the moving industry. Every crew member goes through a <em>background check</em> and doesn’t hit the field before he is a aware of all the aspects of household moving during the summer. As we all know, the temperature in Austin routinely climbs past 100 degrees Fahrenheit &#8211; Elephant Moving makes sure that the crew is capable of working in <em>extreme weather conditions</em> and that they have enough water with them for their day of work.</p>
<p>Your local Austin and San Antonio movers are affiliated with all the major truck rental companies in town in order to <strong>supplement our fleet </strong>of trucks whenever necessary. Elephant Moving can provide the trucks needed for any size move on short notice.</p>
<p>Summer is hectic, but with the right preparation your Austin movers make sure that every customer gets his money&#8217;s worth on each and every move!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you’re choosing a <strong>San Antonio mover</strong> did you know that some of the companies out there are <em>moving brokers</em>?</p>
<p><em>What is a moving broker?</em></p>
<p>It’s definitely not a mover!!!! Brokers do not have the operational and logistic capabilities that moving companies have. They don’t have moving trucks, professional movers, proper moving equipment, and in a lot of cases not much moving experience. Moving brokers are basically a sales team that book your move and sell it to an actual moving company, so the day of the move you would get a <strong>surprise</strong>: the mover you chose after long research, to trust and move your home, is a different mover – not the one that you picked! Sometimes the broker does not mange to sell the job because he ‘lowballed’ the estimate and no reputable moving companies are willing to buy the job; in this case you can get stuck with no mover on the day of your move. Many of the moving brokers are located in a call center somewhere far from your city – <strong>Elephant Moving San Antonio</strong> is a local San Antonio moving company with an office (and supervisors) close to you that can assist you with any problems or concerns that may come up during your moving process.</p>
<p>Be aware when you book your move and make sure to ask the company you are moving with if they are an actual moving company. Make sure that the company you booked uses their own crews and trucks to pick up your shipment.  </p>
