Interest rate hikes by the Fed effects Household Goods shipments!

 Interest rate hikes over the past months intended to slow inflation has cerntainly put a damper on the relocation business!



During the first quarter of this year Van Lines are reporting significant reduction in business over past years.   This has resulted in some cases loss of drivers who are already in short supply in the industry.  

What this means for those planning to relocate during the traditionally busy spring and summer months is perhaps a shortage of trucks/drivers available for moves, and desired move dates being unavailable with some Van Lines.  

People desparate to move may scramble to find solutions which may not be in their best interest.

Consumers Relocation offers customers a safe alternative since we work with multiple reputable, world class van lines and local agents to ship household goods.  Call us and ask to speak wtih a moving Consultant
