Moving is a hassle. Few like it because of the constant frustrations that can pop up.

On the Move works to make sure a rental truck isn’t another thing causing a headache during the moving process. Its trucks are specially designed for easy transport of cargo, with subtle touches like the wheel well not extending into the back portion of the truck, making for a more pleasant experience.

And the ramp up the truck won’t be stolen – like many were during the recession when they caught the eye of desperate scrap metal resellers – or misplaced thanks to an extended rear door that also allows for more real estate for marketing or advertising messages.

“My grandpa thought of the solution. He thought, ‘Well, let’s cover the ramp up.’ He was able to extend the door over the ramp and (box truck partner) Unicell was able to comply with that and make it work for us,” said On the Move Marketing Director CJ Stratte, whose grandfather founded the company after years of experience with Ford.

While the trucks’ graphics pop thanks to a lack of exterior rivets or other things that could mar the wrap, they’re also designed with efficiency in mind.

“Our trucks are aerodynamic and designed this way, because it makes it more fuel efficient,” Stratte said. “(This design) is actually 20% more fuel efficient for these trucks. It’s a little bit more economical.”

On The Move’s rental solutions also serve realtors, who can offer them to movers to provide these benefits – and advertise their services.

In addition to being friendly on the wallet, the trucks also are designed to be easier to drive, with extra mirrors to aid drivers who may be more used to piloting a sedan or an SUV than a 15-foot machine with all their possessions inside.

That, along with many of the other features setting On the Move apart, provide movers peace of mind in a stressful time.

ITS Logistics June freight index warns drayage and intermodal markets face downstream price surges

ITS Logistics June freight index warns drayage and intermodal markets face downstream price surges

The U.S. freight market is entering the 2026 peak shipping season under conditions not seen since the COVID era, with record truckload spot rates, sharply contracting capacity, and rebounding import volumes creating a volatile backdrop for drayage and intermodal operators. ITS Logistics warns that rate increases in container haulage are a matter of when, not if, as shippers accelerate a shift toward rail that is itself generating new bottlenecks. Geopolitical risk from the Strait of Hormuz and fuel costs running 50% above year-ago levels add further upside pressure on freight costs across all modes.

  • 01SONAR's National Truckload Index hit an all-time high of $3.83 per mile, with all-in truckload costs running more than 50% higher year-over-year, according to Transportation Insight.
  • 02U.S. containerized imports totaled 2,428,758 TEUs in May—a 6.6% month-over-month increase—while China-origin volumes surged 28.1% compared to May 2025, per Descartes Systems Group.
  • 03The Logistics Managers' Index placed Transportation Capacity at 28.4%, well below the neutral 50% threshold, signaling accelerating contraction in available trucking supply.

Geodis blog tracks escalating U.S. customs turbulence with weekly trade briefings

ITS Logistics' June Port/Rail Ramp Freight Index warns that cost pressures building at U.S. ports and rail ramps are poised to cascade downstream into broader supply chains. The alert arrives as tariff volatility, a Strait of Hormuz fuel shock, and structural carrier capacity constraints are all active simultaneously. Major 3PLs including GEODIS and Custom Goods are responding by repositioning customs expertise, bonded warehousing, and flexible routing as core client services.

  • 01ITS Logistics' June Port/Rail Ramp Freight Index flags imminent downstream price surges in drayage and intermodal, compounded by a Hormuz-driven fuel shock and a broker liability ruling identified in prior monthly reports.
  • 02GEODIS and Custom Goods are actively repositioning customs expertise, bonded warehouses, and on-demand storage as tactical responses to tariff-driven supply chain disruption.
  • 03Structural carrier capacity constraints — tied to regulatory compliance burdens and driver workforce demographics — are amplifying rate sensitivity when import demand surges.
