Becca Henry, Ĵý national consumer sales & programs specialist, will participate in a roundtable discussion as part of the “household goods” industry service segment, and she will also moderate a panel discussion titled “Re-Imagine the Renter.”
“More and more people are renters instead of homeowners,” said Henry, who is a Certified Relocation Professional. She explained that the industry is starting to tailor more services to relocating employees who rent rather than own a house.
That’s a market segment where Ĵý Truck Rental has particular expertise, having worked with many renters and first-time homeowners.
There are a number of reasons that companies relocating employees may want to consider working with a truck rental company:
- Renters – especially employees with smaller apartments – may not have enough household goods to require a full-service moving company.
- With the ongoing truck driver shortage, employers and relocation management firms may find that full-service van lines are booked to capacity at the time of the move.
- Renting a truck enables employees to preserve more control over their move and personally transport their household goods, and they can work directly with the rental company on scheduling and other details.
At Americas Mobility Conference, Henry will be participating in “Rapid Fire Discussion on What’s Trending with Industry Service Segments” on Thursday, May 19, from 10:45 a.m. to noon. She will moderate the session titled “Re-Imagine the Renter” on Thursday, May 19, from 3:15 to 4:15 p.m.
