The Western Trans Home Movers & Packers

Being right by the Bijwasan Railway Crossing at Plot Number 404 means we see a lot of trains and deal with a lot of dust. The Western Trans Home Movers & Packers is basically just us and our trucks and a lot of brown packing tape. We spend the early mornings loading things up and the afternoons trying to figure out the best way to get through the local traffic without getting stuck. It’s heavy work and our backs usually ache pretty badly by the end of a long shift. We have a lot of old blankets and rolls of bubble wrap lying around the shop floor. It’s not a pretty place to look at, just a practical workspace where we get the job done. Sometimes the trains make so much noise that we have to stop talking for a minute and just wait. We’ve got a small desk for the paperwork, but mostly we are out on the floor or in the back of a vehicle. Moving people’s houses is a messy business and things never go exactly the way you plan them. We just deal with it as it comes. The sun gets really hot on the plot during the summer months. We drink a lot of water and keep moving the boxes until they are all done. It’s a simple routine. We don’t have any fancy uniforms or big neon signs. Just the name and the trucks parked outside near the crossing at Plot Number 404.
