When COVID hit, my work dried up almost overnight. Instead of waiting around hoping things would get better, I started Your Family Moving right here in Red Deer with basically nothing and just built it up from there.
Four years later, I am still here, still growing, and still learning something new every single week.
One thing I noticed early on is that people get nervous when they hire a moving company. The first question almost everyone asks me is whether there are hidden fees or a fuel charge tacked on at the end. I get it. Nobody wants to hand over their hard-earned money and then get surprised by a bill that looks nothing like what they were quoted. So we keep it simple. No hidden fees, no fuel charges, and we place every single item exactly where you want it in your new home.
A few weeks back we had a large move booked and I knew going in that it was going to be a big one. I made the call to bring two trucks just to be safe. We loaded up the first truck and kept going, and sure enough, we filled the second one too. Both trucks completely packed, one load, one trip, done. The customer stood there at the end and just looked relieved. That moment right there is why I do this.
Running this business has changed me in ways I did not expect. I manage employees now, coordinate large groups, delegate tasks, and solve random problems that pop up out of nowhere on moving day. None of that came naturally at first, but I have learned to handle it.
Outside of work, life is pretty good. Almost every sunny day you will find me and my daughter hopping on the e-scooter and heading down to the outdoor pool. She absolutely loves it and honestly so do I. There is something about watching her have the best time that makes all the hard work feel worth it.
If you are in Red Deer and thinking about a move, just know there is a local dad out here who started this from nothing and genuinely cares about doing right by his neighbors.
Also, what are your favourite things to do in the summer heat?
