Getting to Know Your New Surroundings
August 04, 2017
Now that your summer move is complete – and your Penske rental truck is unloaded – it’s time to get to know your new surroundings.
<p>That means locating schools, parks, the best places to shop and getting to know the character of your new city or town.</p><p>The excitement of moving to a new area can quickly turn to stress if you are not sure how to navigate your new surroundings.</p><p>Here are a few tips to get started:</p><p><strong>Seek out </strong>the visitor’s bureau or local chamber of commerce for maps, guides and information on local attractions. <a href="http://www.google.com/maps" rel="noopener">Google Maps</a> is a great resource to get to know your new area. Just type in your address and you will get a bird’s eye view of your neighborhood.</p><p><strong>Set aside </strong>some time to explore. Slip on a comfortable pair of shoes, grab your phone – in case you get lost – and go exploring. Start in your neighborhood and map out the closest convenience store, coffee shop or post office. It will come in handy later.</p><p>Are you looking to <strong>volunteer</strong> in your new community? Contact the <a href="http://www.unitedway.org/" rel="noopener">United Way</a> for information on your local chapter which can connect you with organizations seeking volunteers in your area. Volunteering is also a great way to get to know new people.</p><p><a href="http://mashable.com/2014/02/16/new-city/#zJ2W3x8acsqN" rel="noopener">Social media</a> is a great way to get to know your community. Do you have a <strong>favorite hobby or sport</strong>? A quick search of Facebook can lead you to neighbors in your area who have similar interests. You may find a new hobby or interest you never considered before.</p><p>Once you have a list of <strong>local attractions</strong>, take time to go visit them with your family before the first day of school or work. Remember to snap some pictures to share with family and friends. Sharing memories of your new surroundings with loved ones helps you stay connected and allows them to share in your adventure.</p><p>Do you have tips on how to acclimate to a new city or town? Share them in the comments section.</p><p><em>Are you planning a move to your next new hometown? Penske Truck Rental offers free unlimited miles on all one-way truck rentals, discounts for AAA members, college students and members of the military as well as packing supplies and 24/7 roadside assistance. Are you ready to make a reservation? Visit the Penske Truck Rental website for more information.</em></p><p><em>By Bernie Mixon </em></p></div>

She explained that the industry is starting to tailor more services to relocating employees who rent rather than own a house.</p><p>That’s a market segment where Penske Truck Rental has particular expertise, having worked with many renters and first-time homeowners.</p><p>There are a number of reasons that companies relocating employees may want to consider working with a truck rental company:</p><ul class="ee-ul"> <li>Renters – especially employees with smaller apartments – may not have enough household goods to require a full-service moving company.</li> <li>With the ongoing truck driver shortage, employers and relocation management firms may find that full-service van lines are booked to capacity at the time of the move.</li> <li>Renting a truck enables employees to preserve more control over their move and personally transport their household goods, and they can work directly with the rental company on scheduling and other details.</li></ul><p><img class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="9f31dd1d538460794e56ae28b8161870" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" id="28ef4" type="lazy-image" data-runner-src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8xOTEyNzk1Ny9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTY1OTg1NTM2NX0.OFSrmBJQXvnR2fuo7m544JllWld01lzGgkuaIHBF_dM/img.jpg?width=980"/>At Americas Mobility Conference, Henry will be participating in “Rapid Fire Discussion on What’s Trending with Industry Service Segments” on Thursday, May 19, from 10:45 a.m. to noon.

Penske Truck Rental has introduced a new suite of moving services for companies seeking to relocate their employees, or to place new hires, within the United States or Canada viawww.employeemoves.com.
<p>As Dave Baptisti, director of national consumer sales and programs for <a href="http://www.pensketruckrental.com/">Penske</a> explained, there two types of scenarios for employees on the move.</p><p>“If a company wants to relocate an employee and their family from Philadelphia to Charlotte, they can rent Penske moving trucks and acquire services from our business relationships in a direct bill or lump sum format,” he said.</p><p>“Some companies may provide an employee a $10,000 check to move, allowing the families to best determine how to accomplish that,” Baptisti continued. “In an effort to save money they may go the do-it-yourself truck rental route. Other companies may use a direct bill process with a truck rental and moving support services to make things easier for the family.”</p><p>Companies also utilize the direct bill option when hiring and relocating recent college graduates and placing them in their first jobs.</p><p>Both the corporation and the employee benefit from this bundled moving process, as discounts are available from Simple Moving Labor, which will pack, unpack and even drive the rental truck for a customer, or another like SpareFoot that can help customers locate the most affordable self-storage options.</p><p>“We see this as an area of significant growth,” Baptisti explained. “There is a changing business model for relocations. Companies are looking for ways to reduce costs and make their employees happy.”</p><p>As a leading <a href="https://www.gopenske.com/">transportation company</a>, Penske has hundreds of relocation customers, including Fortune 500 companies with <a href="https://www.pensketruckleasing.com/">full-service lease</a> and <a href="http://www.pensketruckrental.com/commercial-truck-rental/">commercial truck rental</a> contracts and third-party relocation companies.</p><p>According to Worldwide ERC, a professional association for workforce mobility of which Penske Truck Rental is a member, organizations often permit employees an average of less than two weeks (11 days) to accept a formal transfer offer.</p><p>Once an employee accepts a transfer offer, employers are allowing the transferee an average of 33 days to move and report to their new job.</p><p>“Our members are reporting that U.S. employee transfer volume is up this year over last,” stated Peggy Smith, president and CEO of Worldwide ERC. “While challenges certainly remain, improvements in many housing markets across the country and a slowly rebounding U.S. economy are removing some of the most-frequently cited reasons for employee reluctance to relocate.”</p><p>Penske Truck Rental is a business unit of Penske Truck Leasing. With one of the newest moving truck rental fleets, Penske provides do-it-yourself movers with clean, well-maintained and reliable rental trucks as well as moving equipment, <a href="http://www.pensketruckrental.com/supplies-and-services/boxes-and-supplies/">packing supplies and accessories</a>.</p><p align="right"><i>By Alen Beljin</i></p></div>
