10 Ways To Find An Oklahoma City Moving Company:

As a local Oklahoma City business we’re always trying to do our best to serve and understand our Oklahoma customers.  We want to provide the best moving experience possible for our customers, and that requires us to thoroughly understand our customers’ needs and problems for all things related to their moving process.  So we’re constantly asking customers questions about their moving experiences and how we can help make the moving process easier for them. One of the most common issues we hear from our customers is that they don’t even know where to begin looking for a moving company once they decide they want to hire one.  On average, Americans live to about 79 years old, and  the average person will move 11.4 times in their lifetime .  So that works out to the average person moving about once every seven years.  Since people only have the need for a mover once every seven years, it makes sense that most people don’t have a go-to moving provider or...

Watching Our Gentle Giant Family Grow Over the Years:

Three years ago, one of our current Gentle Giant managers had just relocated to Boston to start an exciting new phase of her life. This former Yale rower received help moving from her father, a former Northeastern rower. As the family drove the streets of Somerville to her new apartment, he pointed out the Gentle Giant Moving Company warehouse as a part of his own early employment history. It was probably a moment full of wistful memories as a father shared with his daughter the good ol’ days at Gentle Giant. He was part of a time that is now company lore, working alongside his rowing teammates in the 80s when the company was just starting. Those memories are captured in countless black and white photos that line the staircase up to our  headquarters , coworkers laughing and sweating under a summer sun. As a company that now employs over 600 people throughout the year, those days seem like simpler times that are still at the very root of Gentle Giant as a company: fr...
