Gate City Moving

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 40 million Americans have moved annually over the last decade. Of those people who have moved in the United States, 84.5% of them have moved within their own state, 12.5% have moved to another state and 2.3% have moved to another country.

The household goods moving industry was developed in the U.S. around the expansion of the intercontinental railroads during the 1800s.

The turn of the century saw the introduction of the first specialized covered wagons and then, a few short years later, newfangled motor trucks designed specifically to transport the personal effects of adventurous Americans using the country's growing network of national highways.

The original “moving van” that replaced the horse drawn dray wagons consisted of small, two axle trucks powered by simple two-cylinder, air-cooled engines.

As the country grew and then expanded more quickly after World War II new opportunities steadily developed in these burgeoning relocation businesses as new steel and concrete warehouses began springing up around the country for storing household goods.
