Hitting Close to Home

Since I started writing this blog I realized I have been focusing on the fact that we move household goods and nothing else. All My Sons of Dallas does so much more than just moving your home, we can move your business. We moved ourselves, along with our corporate office, about this time last year. Believe me it was an undertaking. Our office was not that enormous but we had so much stuff to move. From files to computers to our warehouse crates, it seemed like it was a never ending process to go through. I thought it would be so easy to get a Dallas moving company moved, right? Well you would think so, but after working a full day the last thing you want to do is go home and pack your house up…well the same goes for packing up the office. I procrastinated until the very last possible second to get everything packed. I was lucky that I worked for a Dallas mover and had all the resources I needed at my fingertips. We managed to get our entire warehouse, office and corporate location moved within a week’s time. Unpacking, however was another story. Getting everything set up and in its new place harder than I could have imagined, not to mention I had to unpack all of our files and put them back up. Granted I could have left everything in the drawers and filing cabinets but since we were moving into a new office and it was the beginning of the year why not kill two birds with one stone and get the packing and archival process underway. We moved into a much larger warehouse and office space, and it was a little nerve wracking in the beginning to get it all set up. It was a chance at something new and I did not want to mess it up right from the get go. Over the past year we have grown into our new place and it seems sometimes that we might have even outgrown it.

One of my best memories about moving our warehouse is the cleanup process, making sure that the floor was clean and that all the lights were working. Some of the bulbs had gone out and our Operations Manager had to lift the Owner up on top a crate so he could switch out the bulbs. Nothing like seeing a grown man sitting on top of a wooden box putting up lights about 300 feet in the air. Although my greatest memory has to be the day we were in the office sitting at our desks eating lunch, when all of sudden we heard all this yelling and cheering and engines revving. We looked on our cameras and the construction crew the new tenant had hired was having fork lift races. It was absolutely hilarious.

Since then All My Sons has grown and realized how much of an undertaking it was to move ourselves, we now have an All My Sons Commercial Division; working with small offices to large industrial relocations and have a Certified Office and Industrial Consultant that can help with the design to the implementation of any size move. All My Sons starts with a simple needs analysis and then customizes the move plan to fit each client. You can choose from a menu of turn key solutions that make the time and motion of your move more efficient. We can even help you move your warehouse.

A few aspects of this set up are as follows:
