What led you to become an entrepreneur and start a moving service? After being exposed to the moving industry on a part-time work basis, we learned that there are two common problems in the moving industry: Clients either have their belongings damaged or stolen Movers are being under-compensated for their labour and time After recognizing the root of the problem, we built our business around the mission of providing a seamless moving experience for both clients and movers alike.

Learning about the logistics of the moving industry: Obtaining valuable moving details to improve the moving process by asking the right questions to the clients and movers. What are the current existing technologies in the moving industry that are being used and how are these existing technologies solving the problems for both clients and movers What has been your biggest success with Trooper Moves thus far? Our biggest success has been the ability to forge valuable relationships with members of the community, including realtors, during the moving process. This has given us the means of developing a promising list of clients for our business to start with. What is one challenge or learning you've taken from starting your own moving business? The biggest challenge we have faced in running our business is bringing back the confidence of our clients. We understand our clients in the past have dealt with many bad experiences of inexperience movers, stolen or damaged items, or simply movers who are not able to deliver to their client’s needs. However, at Trooper Moves we counter this problem by being with our clients at every step of the way from start to finish.
