Our movers complete training at Allied University. At our Illinois training headquarters, employees complete a three-day program. Drivers are instructed in how to lift furniture; how to properly load a moving truck; how to offer the best customer service in the moving industry, and how to observe and comply with current safety regulations. Our ultimate goal is to train our drivers to provide our customers with the best service available in our industry.

When we hire drivers at Allegheny Valley Transfer, we make sure that each and every one has prior moving industry experience. We believe that there is no substitute for the experience acquired while moving furniture carefully and correctly. Our drivers are personally selected and thoroughly screened. Unlike our competitors, we do not use subcontracted or temporary labor. Our drivers and crew members are year-round employees and are required to stay abreast of current licensing and training requirements. They are also subject to background checks and periodic, random drug testing. Our Pittsburgh moving company goes above and beyond to ensure that the right people are handling your move, and we work to avoid risks to your property and possessions.

There is an art to completing a move and that art encompasses each step of the moving process, from loading the truck to unloading customer items at the final destination. Our Pittsburgh moving company strives to avoid damage, and to ensure that each and every one of our customers is satisfied with the moving experience.

Our movers approach each move with great care and diligence. Your home is prepared before the move so that your move starts off right. They assess your house, and put down runners to protect your floors from scuffs and damage as well as put up door and handrail protection. We provide this preparation and care for moving items out of your old residence as carefully as we provide preparation for bringing items into your new residence.

Another advantage of using Allegheny Valley Transfer Company to move your belongings is that we make sure that they arrive in top condition at your new destination. We shrink-wrap all upholstered pieces to guard against soiling and tearing. Your items are individually wrapped and stacked in the moving truck so that there is no jostling, damage, or breakage. If you must place items in storage over the course of the move, we have the solution. Your belongings are individually containerized and sealed so that nothing is lost or mixed in with another customer's items.

Our Pittsburgh moving company works hard to prevent loss, too. For moves of 40 miles or more, or for shipments going to storage, our movers tag and inventory each item. Our movers keep careful records of inventory, and both you and your moving team are provided with check sheets to insure that everything has been received.

Each and every mover we employ strives to be a Top 10 driver, a designation reserved for a mover who has demonstrated exceptional safety and service skills. We keep a history on each of our drivers, documenting how many claims each has been involved in. The fewer claims a driver has, the more likely her or she is to attain Top 10 driver status. Our policy requires that a percentage of any customer claim be absorbed by the driver. This policy is one of the incentives to guarantee that your possessions will be treated with the utmost care.

After the move is completed, our customers fill out a survey. We pay attention to what you have to say, and use your input to ensure that every Allegheny Valley Transfer Company moving experience is satisfactory and expertly handled.
