Here at Precision, for more than three decades we’ve had the privilege of helping businesses safely and successfully relocate their operations. And while many of these moves are within the same city or across the state, we’ve also helped numerous businesses move to other states – whether they’re heading “next door” to Illinois, Iowa or another adjacent state, or journeying across the country.

Every workplace has at least one, but usually a handful of them: folks who don’t think twice about lending a hand in the literal sense, because they’re fit, healthy, strong, and probably have a few marathons -- or perhaps several Pilates classes -- under their belt.
And so naturally, when it’s time for your business move, these people are more than willing to haul heavy furniture, trek up and down flights of stairs with loaded boxes, and so on. Well, before you allow these well-intentioned team members to become voluntary business movers, we ask you to keep a simple, single rule in mind: DON’T.
