S.B. TAYLOR TRANSPORT: PRIVATE MOVING SERVICE BENEFITS


S.B. Taylor Transport's utilization of enclosed trailers for moving trailers offers several benefits compared to using box vans or semi-trailers. Additionally, hiring a private moving company as opposed to a broker or van line also provides distinct advantages. Here's an overview:

Enclosed Trailers vs. Box Vans or Semi-Trailers:


  • Protection from Elements:
  • Enclosed Trailers: They offer superior protection from the elements, such as rain, snow, and dust, ensuring that the trailers being transported arrive in the same condition they were loaded. This is especially crucial for trailers being moved over long distances.
  • Box Vans or Semi-Trailers: While they provide some protection, they are not as secure as enclosed trailers. Items transported in box vans or semi-trailers are more susceptible to damage from weather and road debris.
  • Security:
  • Enclosed Trailers: They provide an additional layer of security. Valuable or sensitive cargo is less exposed to theft or tampering during transit.
  • Box Vans or Semi-Trailers: Although there's some security, they're more accessible and, therefore, more susceptible to theft or vandalism.
  • Customization:
  • Enclosed Trailers: The internal configuration can be customized to suit the specific needs of the cargo, such as shelving or strapping points, ensuring that the trailers are secured properly and arrive at their destination intact.
  • Box Vans or Semi-Trailers: They offer less customization, limiting the ability to secure the cargo optimally.
  • Better for Fragile or Sensitive Cargo:
  • Enclosed Trailers: Ideal for transporting trailers that are fragile or sensitive to external conditions. These trailers provide a cushioned environment that minimizes the risk of damage.
  • Box Vans or Semi-Trailers: These options are not as gentle on the cargo, making them less suitable for fragile items.
  • Professional Image:
  • Enclosed Trailers: Utilizing enclosed trailers showcases a commitment to professionalism and quality, enhancing the reputation of S.B. Taylor Transport as a premium service provider.
  • Box Vans or Semi-Trailers: While they are effective, they may not convey the same level of professionalism and quality, potentially affecting the company's reputation.



Customized and Personnel Service of Hiring a Private Moving Company vs. Broker or Van Line:


  • Personalized Attention:
  • Private Moving Company: S.B. Taylor Transport can offer a personalized service tailored to the specific needs of the client. The client deals directly with the moving company, ensuring clear communication and understanding of the requirements.
  • Broker or Van Line: There's a risk of miscommunication and a lack of personal attention. Clients may feel like just another number, leading to dissatisfaction.
  • Single Point of Contact:
  • Private Moving Company: Clients have a single point of contact, making it easier to communicate and resolve any issues that may arise during the moving process. This fosters a more direct and efficient service.
  • Broker or Van Line: Clients may have to communicate through intermediaries, which can lead to delays and misunderstandings.
  • Familiarity with Cargo:
  • Private Moving Company: S.B. Taylor Transport becomes familiar with the specific cargo they are transporting, allowing for better handling and care.
  • Broker or Van Line: Since brokers often work with multiple moving companies, there is less familiarity with the cargo, potentially leading to mishandling or damage.
  • Flexibility and Adaptability:
  • Private Moving Company: S.B. Taylor Transport can be more flexible and adaptable to changes in the moving schedule or specific requirements of the client.
  • Broker or Van Line: There may be limited flexibility, as the broker has to coordinate with the contracted moving company, which could be less accommodating.
  • Quality Control:
  • Private Moving Company: S.B. Taylor Transport can maintain better quality control over the moving process, ensuring that the cargo is handled with the utmost care and arrives at its destination on time.
  • Broker or Van Line: Quality control may be lacking, as the broker relies on the contracted moving company to maintain standards.


By utilizing enclosed trailers and providing personalized service as a private moving company, S.B. Taylor Transport can differentiate itself from competitors and offer a premium service that meets the specific needs of its clients.
