What is residential moving? Here’s how we look at it:

Moving from one home to another – One that you’re selling to one that you’re buying elsewhere
Moving from an apartment to a house
Moving from one apartment to another apartment
Moving companies put residential moves into some broader categories

Local moves – Generally, moves that are 40 miles or less, within a state, are considered local moves. But that depends on the state. Gallea Transfer and Storage will know your state’s rules and regulations related to moving. You can also check with your state’s Department of Transportation.

INTRAstate moves – Generally, intrastate moves are those greater than 40 miles but within the same state. Again, that rule depends entirely on state law. Gallea Transfer and Storage will know your state’s rules and regulations related to moving. You can also check with your state’s Department of Transportation.

corporate relocation
Recent surveys show that a primary driver of corporate relocations continues to be the inability to find a qualified workforce in the same place as the job. Gallea Transfer and Storage and Wheaton World Wide Moving understand the balance between the business reasons for getting someone ready for their new position in an unfamiliar environment and the personal issues that every transferee will experience. It’s not just an address change. It’s a life change.

Communication is key

Over time, Gallea Transfer and Wheaton have developed an extensive communications regimen that assigns a single-point-of-contact to every corporate relocation. That means your company’s Human Resources manager or relocation specialist, as well as the transferee, will be kept up-to-speed at every step of the move. Everyone involved in the move will have a resource to ask questions, express concerns or simply seek some peace-of-mind.

We’ll work with your policy

Every company’s relocation policy is different. Let us know how yours is set up and we’ll work with you to maximize your benefits — whether it’s a lump sum, full move package, percentage or some combination or permutation of all three.
