White glove moving services are a term you may hear thrown around a lot in the industry, but it may not always be clear what it actually means.

The Difference Between White Glove & Standard Services

As you read the paragraphs above, you may be inclined to wonder what the actual difference is between standard companies and white glove movers. It’s a fair question and the answer definitely goes beyond being more careful and handling items of higher value, though that is definitely part of the job. Another aspect of it is the equipment we use, right down to the type of truck. For example, a normal company would put your belongings in a shifting truck and do their best to protect them (ideally) from damage during the drive to your new home. By contrast would have a truck with a padded interior to protect against the potential for damage due to shifting furniture. Additionally, they may even have a temperature controlled truck so that extreme temperatures aren’t a concern when you’re transporting furniture that could be affected by excessive heat. Crating is also a service that can be provided by it in order to protect anything that needs an extra level of care when hauling, such as a pricey mirror or a piece of fine art that needs to be guarded from the possible contact from other items as you move.
