About PODS
In 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 48 US states and throughout Canada and Australia. To date, approximately one million reservations have been completed, there are over 135,000 PODS containers in service, and PODS has performed approximately 150,000 long-distance relocations.
