Go Truck Go - Environmentally Friendly Movers

Go Truck Go - Environmentally friendly moving company

 

 

As much as I’d like to, I just can’t keep these guys a secret anymore.  I have found the most amazing moving company.   I’d just love to keep this little secret to myself, but that just wouldn’t be fair.

 

Go Truck Go is an environmentally friendly moving company.  ‘Environmentally friendly’ and ‘truck’ usually don’t find themselves in the same sentence, but this is an exception.

 

Go Truck Go - Environmentally friendly moving companySean Edwards is the owner of Go Truck Go, and he takes pride in operating a special, light-weight truck that basically runs on vegetable oil.  Not the kind that you fry eggs in, but an alternative to gasoline. 

 

We run a blend of petroleum diesel and waste-stream biodiesel. This reduces our emissions and makes use of waste oils that would otherwise go to landfills (We do not support the use of fuels created from food crops). The truck averages 25 to 30 miles per gallon in the city which is easily twice as fuel efficient as the majority of moving trucks in use today!”

 

Sean and his team are concerned about the environment, focusing on keeping  a small carbon footprint, by offering discounts to moves within the downtown core.  His team is also polite, clean-cut, courteous, and will go that extra mile. 

 

I would highly recommend Go Truck Go for your next move.  Just remember, Sean, Exit Stage Right gets first priority!!!!

Hi Sally,

That was a fun blog.

I was wondering all the way through, "How does a mover claim to be green?"

My question was answered!

Kathy - We love it when Realtors® refer us to other Realtors® and don't keep us a secret, so I thought it only fair to let the 'cat out of the bag' and tell the world how great these guys are - they deserve it!

Sally ~ one of the most important aspects of a staging company is the efficient and careful transport of the furnishings.  Looks like you have found a real gem with your local movers!

Sharon - I was curious to see if other communities offered such a "green" moving service.  Sounds like there's an untapped market out there...  and we sure are lucky to have them!

Linda - I agree about the name - it's very catchy, and reminiscent of "The Little Engine That Could" - I think I can, I think I can...  These mighty little trucks are definitely up to the challenge, and offer a great service.

Sally, I have to agree, they need to franchise!  I would love my son to do this!  Ask Sean if he has any interest!  Thanks,

Great psot and great for you and your clients! I met the most amazing, GREEN, moving company when I attended Michelle Minch's stager meetup at Brook Furniture Rental.

Janice - It's a great idea - sure wish there were more.

Laura - I certainly will ask Sean.  Wouldn't that be great if your son worked in the moving business?  What a great collaboration that would be for you as a stager!

Cathy - I knew California would have to have a green moving company - your state and our province are definitely on the same wave length!
