Perkins Storage and Transfer Co. Inc. was founded in Brookings, SD in 1919 by George E. Perkins. In the early years of operation, Perkins operated over an eighteen state area which stretched from New York east and Montana on the west and the Canadian border north through Missouri in the south.

George had a couple of grandsons who were interested in the moving business and were trained early on in the business. Jerry Potthast and his cousin Douglas Perkins were the grandsons who operated the business after Grandfather George’s death in the early 1960’s.

In August 1989, Dennis Gerjets bought the corporation from Jerry and Douglas. Douglas retired upon selling the corporation and Jerry agreed to stay on for one year to teach Dennis the moving business. After six years, Jerry decided to semi-retire also. January 1st of 1996, Jerry decided to take life at a little more leisurely pace and only works part time for Perkins at this time.

Q How long does it take to move?

This depends on many factors, such as the time of year, weather conditions, size of your
shipment, time required to load and unload, and the direction and distance your shipment
is traveling.

Because the furnishings of the average household will not fill a truck, it is often necessary
for two or more shipments to be loaded on the same truck. Each shipment is carefully
sectioned off from the others.

With the help of computer-assisted dispatching system, pickup and delivery dates
are scheduled according to the origins and destinations of individual shipments on the trucks,
as well as shipment weight.

Q My move date changed. What should I do?

Contact your move coordinator as soon as you can if your move dates have changed.
He/she can process any changes to your plan and discuss updates; keep in mind your estimate
may change depending on the dates you selected.
