Technology has brought in a Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA), a similar term can be coined for the transportation industry where technology has indeed introduced a Revolution in Transportation Affairs (RTA). This revolution has been made possible by applying technology with a dash of innovation to give rise to the concept of Moving Pods. What are Moving Pods? Well they are mini truck sized containers which come in different sizes having appropriate volume to store household items of a one bedroom house, two bedroom houses, three bedroom houses or a mansion. The innovation lies in the ability of the company to deliver the pod at the customers residence. Technology is used in the pods to make them completely scalable with adjustable racks and securing arrangements with ergonomically designed low floor space for ease of access. As the name suggests, Pods are like self sustaining units.

The terms and conditions for loading and unloading are flexible and hassle free. Moving pod companies offer a complete package which include ready to use cardboard boxes, Styrofoam sheets, bubble plastic and other packing material which absorb shock and provide additional safety to the household items being transported. Not only household items, entire offices can be moved including office cubes. Climate controlled pods are also available for those who require environment controls for sensitive equipment, items or precious cargo of wines during the move. Moving Pods can also be configured to carry boats, cars, garage equipment, in fact just about anything. The customer can also track the route of his items as most companies providing these services use the latest GPS tracking technology and RFID tags to keep track of each and every pod on the move.

Moving Pods are a unique concept in the sense that it addresses both the problems of moving as well as storing. For that reason they are also called as Self Storage solutions. In case the customer has a time lag in finding a new house, the pods can also be stored away in secure warehouses safe from vagaries of nature, theft or robbery. Companies providing these services provide requisite insurance so in addition to physical safety, legal safety is also ensured. Moving Pods have come in a big way in United States, Canada and Europe. Services are now available not only for interstate moves but also for moving abroad. The sheer convenience and competitive pricing have made Moving Pods a concept which is likely to become the standard form of transportation model the world over.
