Remember the last time you started a new job? Hopefully, when you began, you were trained before tackling projects. For a moving company, “projects” involve going into a customer’s home and handling, packing, loading, and moving all of their belongings. That begs the question, how do moving companies train their crews?

We all know the stress of a move is overwhelming, and the last thing you want is an inexperienced crew using your home to learn on the job. That is why JK created a comprehensive training program that all crew members go through before ever stepping a foot in your home.

At JK, our drivers and moving crew members complete extensive hands-on training in our fully furnished Training Home, located in our warehouse. The team learns techniques to protect your home, from floors to walls and door jambs, and how to pack, load, and move your belongings properly in our house, not yours.
