Our Safety Philosophy

Safety means more than avoiding harm—it's about establishing conditions where crew members are protected and your personal items are handled with care.

Our safety measures include:

Rigorous Training – Our crew members are trained extensively in proper lifting techniques, equipment handling, and safe driving protocols.
Protective Equipment – We use moving pads, ratchet straps, wheeled dollies, and secure harnesses to protect your items and our movers.
Pre-Move Inspections – We inspect homes and facilities to identify any hazards such as unstable stairs, cramped pathways, or slippery floors.
Licensed and Insured – Shoreview Moving and Storage meets all local, state, and federal requirements and carries all required insurance to cover loss and damage.

Employee Safety Standards

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

Ongoing Safety Training – From physical handling tasks to secure loading, our team members are guided through proven techniques to minimize safety hazards.
Use of Safety Gear – Gloves, back braces, non-slip footwear, and other gear are provided as appropriate.
Safe Work Conditions – We monitor weather, access conditions, and equipment functionality before and during each job.
DOT-Compliant Vehicles – All trucks are routinely checked and serviced according to Department of Transportation regulations.

How We Safeguard Your Property

A key component of Moving Safety is making sure your belongings stay secure from start to finish. We safeguard your items with:

Protective Padding and Wrapping – All delicate and bulky pieces are protected with proper padding to prevent chips, surface marks, and fractures.
Secure Loading Techniques – Our crew uses load stabilization strategies and proper stacking methods to keep items steady while in transport.
Specialized Handling – For pianos, antiques, electronics, and other valuables, we use equipment and strategies tailored to each item.
Inventory Tracking – We track and log every packed object to prevent any items from going missing.

Adhering to Moving Regulations in Orlando

As an trusted relocation expert, 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 Orlando
Insurance coverage minimums for cargo and liability
Driver qualifications and hours-of-service rules enforced to meet transportation laws

By choosing a company that understands and follows these rules, you reduce your risk of hidden expenses, moving slowdowns, or accidental losses.

Why Insurance Coverage Shouldn’t Be Overlooked

Even though accidents are uncommon, if they occur, working with an insured moving company gives you peace of mind. Our insurance protects both our team and your possessions. In addition, we offer valuation options so you can select the amount of coverage that fits your needs.
