White Glove is Now an Interstate Agent with Bekins Vanlines!

January 10, 2017

What makes Bekins so great? Unrivaled expertise and a commitment to customer service.

As one of the oldest moving companies in the United States, Bekins Van Lines was founded by brothers John and Martin Bekins in 1891. Bekins began operations in Sioux City, Iowa, with just three horse-drawn vans and twelve employees. Present day, they are one of the nation’s largest full-service moving and storage companies with nearly 150 locations throughout the United States. More importantly, Bekins is proud to be using information technology and logistics to ensure moves go smoothly no matter the distance.

Over the years, Bekins has been involved with many firsts and important milestones within the moving industry.

Bekins was the first to specialize in moving household goods.
When covered moving vans were introduced, they carried the Bekins name.
Bekins led the moving and storage business away from horse-drawn wagons with the first motor trucks in 1903.
The first concrete and steel warehouses were built by Bekins in 1906.
The first transcontinental motor van move was completed by Bekins in 1928.
In 1960, Bekins established Bekins World Wide, later known as Bekins International.
Bekins became a leader in residential delivery service, later named HomeDirectUSA in 1994.
Bekins led an industry consortium to develop the CPM (Certified Professional Movers) program, a CD-ROM based training module in 1995.
Bekins became the first van line to earn CPM status in 1996.
Bekins is the first van line to install nationwide warehouses and storage management systems to assist in order management and tracking in 1997.
Bekins is purchased by Wheaton Van Lines in March 2012.

With such a rich history, it is no wonder that White Glove Moving & Storage finds it valuable to align with an industry leader so we can do our part to ensure there is more opportunity to service our customer’s moving needs especially when they are moving into or out of Florida.

As we kick off the New Year, our team of moving professionals hopes to be your go-to to assist with all the local and long distance moves. We love heavy stuff and stairs so you don’t have to.

Community events upcoming that White Glove can assist with? It’d be our pleasure. It is going to be a great year full of positive change and we look forward to earning your trust when it comes to movers you can count on.

Hurricane Preparedness

September 6, 2016

2016 ATLANTIC HURRICANE SEASON FORECAST

It’s that time of year here in Florida when we watch the weather rather closely. That is because it’s The Atlantic Hurricane Season which runs from June 1 through November 30 (encompassing the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico). Luckily for us, the 2016 Atlantic Basin hurricane season is expected to have average activity close to the median levels from 1981 to 2010.

However, even tropical storms can cause a lot of damage and that is why White Glove Moving & Storage strives to assist our friends and neighbors when it comes to the heavy lifting. If there is a storm brewing, we can help bring all outdoor patio furniture, fixtures and accessories into our climate controlled storage and it can stay as long as short as needed with delivery service available. Want your stuff simply moved into your garage while you are away; we can do that too! Perhaps you have your parents that need some assistance moving and you are not close by; we’d be honored to lend a helping, caring hand. Even assistance with crating and packing pieces that you may want shipped to wherever you are are skills we can provide and the best part is we have no minimums unlike other movers who charge for 4 hours even it only takes them two. Should you have just some general moving questions; we are always here and willing to navigate you through the process. In the meantime, here are some interesting facts to share:

HURRICANE FORECAST AND COUNTS, JUNE 2016

Hurricane Forecast	Expected Count 2016	Median Count for 1981 to 2010
Named Storms	12	12
Named Storm Days	50	60.1
Hurricanes	5	6.5
Hurricane Days	20	21.3
Major Hurricanes	2	2
Major Hurricane Days	4	3.9
Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE)	90	92
Net Cyclone Activity	95%	103%

The probability for major hurricane landfall on the entire coastline of the United States in 2016 is 50% (the average for the last century is 52%).
The probability for landfall on the East Coast including Florida is 30% (the average for the last century is 31%).
The probability of landfall for the Gulf Coast is 29% (the average for the last century is 30%).

How are hurricanes classified and what are hurricane categories?

A. The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale is a 1-5 rating based on the hurricane’s present intensity. This is used to give an estimate of the potential property damage and flooding expected along the coast from a hurricane landfall. Wind speed is the determining factor in the scale, as storm surge values are highly dependent on the slope of the continental shelf in the landfall region. Wind speeds are measured using a 1-minute average.

Saffir-Simpson	Wind (mph)	Hurricane Example
Category One	74 – 95	Allison (1995), Danny (1997)
Category Two	96 – 110	Bonnie (1998), George (1998), Gustav (2002)
Category Three	111 – 130	Roxane (1995), Fran (1996), Rita (2005)
Category Four	131 – 155	Opal (1995), Iniki (1992), Charley (2004), Katrina (2005)
Category Five	156 +	Andrew (1992)

Q. What causes a hurricane to happen?

A tropical ocean and its atmosphere create the right conditions for a hurricane. Hurricanes draw their energy from the warm surface waters of the tropics (usually above 27°C, or about 81°F) and the latent heat of condensation. Powered by heat from the sea, they are steered by the easterly trade winds and the temperate westerlies, as well as by their own ferocious energy. Around their core, winds grow with great velocity, generating violent seas. Moving ashore, they sweep the ocean inward while spawning tornadoes and producing torrential rain and floods. When hurricanes move over cold water or over large landmasses, they can die out quickly because they lose the power of the heat and condensation.

Fun Facts About Florida & the Treasure Coast

August 10, 2016

It is no wonder that folks love to live in Florida and why many move here, especially to the Treasure Coast.
Perhaps, it is because in Vero Beach we are considered the Start of the Tropics. We have an unusual mix of vegetation found in the coastal Carolinas, ancient oak trees and pine forests all blended with swaying palms and colorful blooms of typical Caribbean tropics. It’s great climate to raise a garden and a family!

Did you know that the Florida state tree is the Sabal Palm, the state flower is the orange blossom, teh state bird is the mockingbird and the state reptile is the alligator?

The Blue Cypress Lake is the largest lake on the Treasure Coast. It’s over 6,500 acres wide, has an average depth of 8 feet and a 21 mile shoreline surrounded by 29,000 acres of marsh, swamp and cypress forest. It gets it’s name from the blue appearance of the cypress trees as the morning sun’s rays reflect off the water.

How did the Seminoles come about? The Native Americans actually gathered together from a variety of other tribes to form the Seminoles. They were known for their intricate clothing and bead work.

Did you know that The Jungle Trail, a narrow 7.5 mile unpaved road between Old Winder Beach Road and Hwy. A1A, is part of the Indian River Lagoon Scenic Highway System and listed on the US National Register of Historic Places. The road started as a means to transport citrus to packing houses on the mainland and became popular with tourists in the 1930’s.

It is true, we live in a great part of the state and though it may be considered a bit of a hidden gem; White Glove takes great pride in making it easy for families, businesses and seniors to move here.

Benefits of Using White Glove Moving & Storage

February 26, 2016

Wouldn’t it be great if everything always went according to plan? But does it?

Of course not! That is why when closings get delayed or construction is slowed due to weather, the team at White Glove can adjust and ensure all your goods are kept safe until delivery can be arranged. Can all movers do that? No, because they typically have only a few trucks and if they are booked out all your items have to get off the truck and the more handling done can often lead to the possibility of more damages incurred. Furthermore, with White Glove having only full-time, trained and background checked employees; we know no matter your must have date of delivery we will have good men on-hand to do the job right.

Speaking of storing items, at White Glove we offer full service storage solutions that make sense. We only charge for the amount of space that is being used and we offer pro-rated rates so you are only being billed for the length of time your items are stored with us. Better still, we provide inventory barcoded tracking for all items we take into possession allowing you the ease of having things delivered out of storage if requested by simply referring to your list. For those moving to Florida and the Treasure Coast area from out of state, should you use a different carrier and have them deliver to White Glove for your storage; we can use our check-in system to ensure we have everything you sent down. The facility is full of loading docks able to handle trucks of all sizes and is climate as well as humidity controlled while being a fully secure warehouse so you know your goods are safe and protected.

Additionally, it is important to know that you have a company who is always looking out for your best interests. At White Glove, we know if you are moving just a few pieces a great distance it can be more cost effective to ship those goods using our sister company, Pak Mail Beachside, instead of having those select items “moved” by the mover. Or perhaps you want some stuff sent to family members in another state but the rest is coming with you; we can arrange and price for all that without you having to go through the hassle. When onsite performing our free estimates we can help decipher what is going to be the best solution for your needs.

As previously mentioned, our men are fully background check, trained and undergo ongoing training throughout the year. We take great pride in the caliber of crews coming into your own and ensure there will be peace of mind every time when choosing White Glove to perform your move.

White Glove Moving Loves Stairs!

October 5, 2015

More and more people are falling in love with owning a condominium throughout Florida. Why? Well here’s a few reasons:

A condominium is like a hybrid between an apartment and a house with no yard to mow. This is a big appeal of owning a condo. There will be no mowing because you’ll pay dues to a condominium association, which will take care of most of your maintenance needs. Depending on your lifestyle and amount of time spend enjoying the yard; this could save thousands as well as man hours on yard work.

It’s less expensive than buying a comparable house. Obviously, the cost of a condo versus a house depends on the size of the home, the property values of the neighborhood and the cost of living in the area. But typically, you’ll spend less on a condo, especially in higher-cost markets where condos can be the only alternative to high-priced, single-family homes.

Of course, moving into a condo has its challenges. That is why White Glove Moving & Storage prides itself in being able to expertly work with the association and property owner to coordinate seamless moves. This includes reserving the elevator and using proper protection on all surfaces, understanding the layout of the stairwells and using lifts and pulleys as needed depending on the building.

So if you are considering a condo for your primary or second home, know your move will be easy and affordable when you use the professionals at White Glove Moving. Free estimates and guaranteed date of move always offered.
