About PODS, Inc.
Founded in 1998, the PODS network currently provides service to a population of more than 236 million consumers. To date, PODS has completed more than 175,000 long-distance relocations, exceeded one million deliveries and has nearly 137,000 PODS brand containers in service. PODS moving and storage services are available in 48 U.S. states and throughout Canada and Australia.
“PODS provides unique benefits for people who need to move or store their belongings for their home or business,” said Tom Ryan, president and chief executive officer. “Our popular white containers offer increased flexibility, convenience and control over expensive moving companies or rental trucks, that is why we have over 92% customer satisfaction. It is exciting to see this new combination of moving and storage grow.”
The concept is simple: PODS delivers an empty storage container and the customer loads it at their leisure. When packing is complete, PODS picks up the container and can store it in one of its secure Storage Centers as long as needed, or can move it across town or across the country.
PODS containers are constructed of a steel frame with specially-designed aluminum skin panels, can withstand 110-mph winds when partially filled, and have a load capacity of more than 3 tons. PODS containers are available in three sizes: approximately 7-by-7-by-8 feet, 8-by-8-by-12 feet and 8-by-8-by-16 feet.
