Gentle Giant Moving Company Meets Market Need with Expanded Interstate Services; Massachusetts Headquartered Moving Company Responds to Housing Market Demand
SOMERVILLE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 22, 2006 Gentle Giant Moving Company, the premier residential mover in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, and Rhode Island, offering local, interstate, and international moves, has announced today the expansion of their interstate services.
The demand for interstate moving is growing rapidly in New England and elsewhere. Between 2002 and 2004, Massachusetts had a net loss of over 100,000 residents. Over the past year Gentle Giant has seen over a 25% increase in interstate move inquiries. In response, Gentle Giant has actively grown their interstate team with experienced staff, tractor trailer trucks, and an innovative business model.
"While local work is our bread and butter, we cannot ignore what is happening in the real estate market," said Gentle Giant President Larry O'Toole. "We are continuously redefining our business to meet the needs of our customers and, at this time, it is interstate services. As professional movers, our pride lies in our ability to handle any move from start to finish wherever that may be."
The Gentle Giant interstate team offers the ability to pack, load, drive, and unload household goods or business furniture and equipment to most locations within the continental United States. Unlike most interstate van lines, Gentle Giant's interstate business is an end to end service, in that the move is completely handled by Gentle Giant from point A to B, providing consistency in customer service as well as increased protection.
Now with offices in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and New York, Gentle Giant is able to coordinate crews for the most efficient service between distant branch offices. Presently, the New York/Boston route is their most popular move.

Northland Insurance Announces Non-Fleet Coverage Enhancements for Truckers
SAINT PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Northland Insurance, a subsidiary of St. Paul Travelers announced the national launch of two Non-Fleet coverage enhancements to its transportation insurance offerings. Family Emergency Travel Coverage, travel cost reimbursement for family members of an injured or deceased trucker, and Deluxe Coverage Endorsement, coverage extensions minimizing deductibles and extra expenses resulting from a loss, is available now in many states, with a national rollout by the end of 2006. The new coverage features provide peace of mind while adding value to the insurance policies of the professional truck driver.
"These programs were designed in direct response to trucker needs. They add value to our products, especially when it comes to helping the small trucker," said Dale Schueffner, Vice President, Agency Services, Northland Insurance. "While other carriers offer some of the pieces, the value and breadth of coverage offered in these packages is currently unmatched."
Family Emergency Travel Coverage is a value-added coverage supplementing all Non-Fleet policies at no additional charge. Insured independent truckers will be allotted additional coverage to provide for the travel costs of family members visiting a trucker who is injured and hospitalized away from home.
Deluxe Coverage Endorsement is an optional endorsement that can be added to any Non-Fleet policy for an additional charge. Four new coverage extensions can result in a significant cost savings should an insured elect to purchase the Deluxe Coverage Endorsement. Coverage options include:
Diminishing Deductible for Physical Damage
Aggregate Deductible
Personal Effects Coverage
Downtime Loss & Rental Reimbursement Coverage
Northland Insurance is one of the top transportation insurance providers in the country. Northland provides property and casualty insurance products and services to meet the needs of owners and operators of commercial trucks, limousines and shuttle operations, owners of small businesses and others whose businesses include transporting people or goods.
