    Moving is generally regarded as one of the most stressful life events.  The moving company you hire is critically important because they are entrusted to come into your home and move your possessions.   Common consumer fears include damaged property, unexpected fees, or movers who simply don’t show up.

    Two Men And A Truck is the first and largest local franchised moving company in the United States. The company started in 1980 with two brothers and a truck and it has grown into a national franchise.  They have a great philosophy: “To treat everyone the way you would want your Grandma to be treated.” They operate on a national scale but with the personalized, friendly, professional service of a small-town mover.  Beth King has been a franchise owner of Two Men And A Truck since 2004 with locations in Peoria and Goodyear, Arizona.

    Two Men And A Truck is a full-service moving company for home and business moves.  They also provide packing and unpacking services and sell packing supplies.   They have flexible scheduling options, including providing services in the evening and on weekends.  Each move is tailored to the customer’s needs.  Their website provides valuable resources including a moving checklist and other uses for moving services, such as hiring them to help take down and pack your decorations after the holidays.

    The reviews of Two Men And A Truck and its trained, licensed, and insured crews are regarded as courteous, friendly, polite, and helpful.  They have a reputation of being efficient, arriving on time, and finishing early.  On multiple occasions, Two Men And A Truck has saved the day for customers.  They have been able to take on moving jobs at the last minute when another moving company did not show up when they were scheduled or when the customers didn’t trust the movers that another company sent.

    The west valley locations for Two Men And A Truck are dedicated to protect consumers.  Their blog and Facebook pages keep consumers informed about the importance of being suspicious of movers and verify every claim a company makes.  This is particularly important in Arizona where there are no regulations for moving services.  Two Men And A Truck understands the importance of being transparent in their practices and provides information about how to choose an honest mover and consumer complaints about other movers.

    Please consider Two Men And A Truck in the Phoenix area for your upcoming moving needs.  They have two locations in Peoria (623-933-2180) and Goodyear (623-932-6090).  You can get a customized quote on their website and follow them on Facebook and Twitter.  You can also get valuable tips and tricks on their blog or by sending them an email at info0209@twomenandatruck.com.

  • SALK Day 11 – Political Tolerance

    ·

    Ruth Carter

    Today’s sponsor is Vincent Cannizzaro, first-year law student.   He asked me to write about the lack of tolerance in politics, on both sides of the political spectrum.  People who have worked in politics or with people with strong political affiliations have seen that too often each side is quick to demonize the opposition.  For example, in the last presidential election, there was a superfluous amount of discussion about whether Obama was a Muslim or a socialist or whether McCain planned to invade Iran.  I could care less about a candidate’s religious affiliation; I care about whether they can effectively run this country and whether they share my views on major issues.  We lost valuable opportunities to discuss the actual problems in this country.

    The majority of people who hold political office have a strong dedication to being public servants and they have care deeply about this country’s future.  Most of them are intelligent people with good intentions (even the Tea Party members and fanatics).  If we could get past the political labels and stereotypes and actually have discussions about problems facing this country and potential solutions, something good might come about.

    One thing that I find particularly bothersome is people who only vote along party lines without considering each candidate’s platform.  They’re voting without fully participating in the democratic process.  I respect that people have issues where the candidate they vote for must agree with them whether it’s national health care, social security, abortion, gay marriage, etc.  What I don’t understand is people who won’t take the time to at least read about each candidate on the ballot but simply vote for whoever is affiliated with their party.  I think a lot of people do not want to accept that the parties are often not that different anymore, and will simply turn their back on a message that is different from their own instead of engaging in conversation to at least hear what the other side’s goals are and ideas for achieving them.

    In politics, as in all aspects of life, please make your decisions based on knowledge and not on assumptions.  Talk to people and practice tolerance.  Have conversations with people who have different views.  See if you have a mutual goal and correct any inaccuracies as they come up.  Please remember that when you disagree with someone, it does not mean that they are an enemy or evil.  Disagreeing does not necessarily mean that the other side is the enemy.  They just have a different point of view.

  • SALK Day 10 – Donna McGill

    ·

    Ruth Carter

    Today’s sponsor is Donna J. McGill, a freelance writer from southern Mississippi.  She stumbled onto my website while she was doing legal research for another project.  When she read about my campaign, she wrote an article about Sponsor A Law Kid, a sponsored a day herself.

    McGill has been a writer for two decades.  She writes and ghostwrites web content, newsletters, e-books, manuals, and articles for companies across the United States and around the world.  She has provided content for over 150 websites and has rewritten ~65 websites.  She has written 22 e-books and countless articles.  Her projects are known for being original, thoughtful, and precise.

    McGill understands that not everyone is business is a compelling writer and can create content that draws people to their websites.  She offers effective material at affordable prices.  She can be contracted to write on a  regular and indefinite basis.   The topics she writes about are vast and diverse: legal issues in the U.S. and the UK, employment trends, politics, ballet,  home furnishings, realty, hurricanes, and more!

    McGill has the ability to tailor her work to fit the needs of her clients.  Some pieces have a conversational tone where her southern charm shines through and other projects are technical and straightforward.

    When she’s not writing for her clients, McGill writes her own blog that gives insight into southern living and her take on human nature.  It gives people a glimpse into another way at looking at everyday occurrences and national news.  Working from home, McGill seems to have a happy comfortable life.  I’m not saying she lives in a lap of luxury without a care in the world; however it seems she knows how to take things in stride and focus on what is important – like family.  I have a mental picture of her sitting on her patio, typing on her laptop, with a Diet Coke close at hand and spending her evenings and weekends enjoying the company of her family.  Be sure to watch for Donna McGill’s name on Amazon and on bookstore shelves.  She’s on the final edit of her first novel and already conducting research for a second one.

    For more information about Donna McGill and her services, please visit her website, her blog, and follow her on Facebook and Twitter.
