Patriot at a glance

Mission Statement

Patriot's mission consists of three interrelated parts with which the success of one guarantees the success of all.

Our People: Patriot Van and Storage is committed to growing people in the moving industry. By successfully introducing and training excellence at the individual level both professionally and personally, those people who find themselves employed in our industry will achieve success, security and a future for their families.

Our Customer: By developing personal excellence those individuals in turn bring integrity, performance and security to the customer.

Our Industry: Patriot Van and Storage recognizes the tools and procedures, that are used today by all moving companies and that were developed nearly a century ago, have become antiquated. Patriot is committed to closing the gap by capitalizing on specific new technologies that have been developed and have yet to be applied to the moving industry. Those new tools will restore security and quality to the customer.

History

Patriot Van & Storage opened for business in March of 2002 with a business plan dedicated to becoming a full-service relocation, transportation and storage company providing excellent service to our customers and providing the important platform to carry out our mission statement.

Prior to Patriot Van & Storage' formation, the two founders worked together in all aspects of the transportation and storage industry while employed by Tri-Valley World Wide Moving and Storage, agent for Bekins Van Lines and Caton Moving and Storage, agent for Mayflower Van Lines. Each of the individual owners' length of service at those two companies was over 12 years each.

Patriot Van & Storage maintains a close relationship with Tri-Valley Bekins that provides reciprocating support both to Tri-Valley Bekins and to Patriot Van and Storage on our larger relocations respectively.

Patriot utilizes office/sales facilities in Ripon and warehouse facilities in a sixty thousand square foot building in Livermore. The warehouse facility is a full service warehouse serving office and industrial relocations, household goods, and trade show/exhibit and display transportation.
