ABOUT PODSIn 1998, PODS revolutionized the moving and storage industry by originating the concept of transporting mobile storage containers. The convenient, cost-effective service is unique in that the patented hydraulic lift system (only available with PODS) is designed to significantly reduce shift in contents while the PODS brand container is being loaded onto the truck for transport. The container is then securely transported locally, state to state or internationally. Currently, the PODS network provides service to a population of over 230 million consumers and businesses in the US, Canada and Australia. To date, approximately one million reservations have been completed and there are over 130,000 PODS brand containers in service.
