MOVING MADE EASY Our Story - Why We Do It?

Flexible Plans and Clear Pricing

As an emergency medical technician working in the field, owner and founder Dan Ireland spent over 10 years helping families in crisis.

How many of these situations families felt overwhelmed by the responsibility of dealing with all the things your loved ones left behind.

Dan founded Indian Valley Trading Company to provide individuals suffering from a loss, a trusted team of local professionals to pack up, clean out, and help them move forward.

We know moving is a hassle, so we do our best to make the process as pain-free as possible. From short term and long term storage options, to removing unwanted items and more, our team has the capability to help you pack up, stay organized, clear out at unload without you even breaking a sweat. Estimates for each job are provided upfront and we don’t like surprises. Our clear and consistent pricing helps to ensure you understand what's included and what you can expect on your final bill. Need to add a special request. No problem will do our best to accommodate it and keep you informed of any price changes. That’s just how we roll.

We Are a Professional Moving Company This may sound like a no-brainer, but in the moving industry, we’ve noticed there are a lot of amateurs. At Indian Valley Trading Company our moving trucks are always clean and organized. We also make sure our moving trucks are fully stocked with blankets, plastic wrap, bubble wrap, moving boxes, and all the tools we need to properly secure your stuff. Plus, we have a strict no sharing policy, the truck that picks up your stuff is your truck from load to unload, door to door.

Storage Options Need more time to decide where you’re going? Our door to door storage options allow you to have your items picked up, stored, and then redelivered when you need it and where you want it.

Moving and Packing Supplies

Our Services Moving and Relocation Whether you’re leveling up or downsizing, moving across the street or across the country our reliable team of experts has both the tools and capabilities you need to safely and securely take all of your stuff with you.

Not sure where you’re moving? Our variety of storage options also gives you the flexibility to move out, store your stuff, then move into your new home whenever you’re ready.

Our goal is to make your move as easy and hassle free as possible. We will deliver all the packing supplies and moving boxes you need directly to your door. Then when you’re done with them, we’ll stop by to pick them back up and recycle them for you free of charge.

Cleanouts and Junk Removal Whether you’re looking to downsize, or just have a few extra boxes lying around, our local team of reliable professionals has both the tools and capabilities you need to get rid of any of your unwanted items. We offer both quick pick up and complete cleanout services to help you clean out, clean up and get back to life clutter free!

Professional, Packing and Unpacking Services Well packed and organized boxes not only reduce the possibility of damage to your items in transit, they also reduce the time it takes to decipher where your stuff gloves upon arrival. Whether you’re physically unable to pack yourself, or want to save time, our packing professionals have the capability to completely pack up your home and get you ready to move.

History of Tri County Area FCU In July of 1949, eight employees of the Firestone Rubber Company in Pottstown pledged five dollars apiece and signed an organizational certificate with the Federal Security Agency, the regulator for credit unions at that time. The organization certificate was approved on August 11, 1949, and Firestone #336 FCU was created with $40.00 in assets. After the Firestone plant closed, the credit union became a community-chartered credit union for the three Pottsgrove townships and was renamed Pottsgroves Community Federal Credit Union. After a merger with the Beth-Pottstown FCU, which had the community charter for the borough of Pottstown, the name was changed to Tri County Area FCU in July 1984. We opened our Pennsburg branch in 2007, our student branch at Pottsgrove High School in 2009, and our student branch at Pottstown High School in 2013.

Today, the credit union serves people who live, work, worship, or go to school in forty-one townships and boroughs. Our assets have grown from that original $40 to $183.8 million today.

The Power of Daily Walking: Enhancing Strength and Mobility in Just 10-15 Minutes a Day Walking is a simple yet powerful form of exercise that can bring about significant improvements in overall strength and mobility with just 10-15 minutes of daily commitment. Many people underestimate the benefits of walking, but this low-impact activity can be a game-changer when it comes to enhancing physical fitness and wellbeing.

Furthermore, walking is a great way to boost cardiovascular health and endurance. By increasing your heart rate through brisk walking, you can improve circulation, strengthen your heart, and enhance your cardiovascular fitness. This can lead to a reduced risk of heart disease, lower blood pressure, and improved overall cardiovascular function.

One of the key advantages of walking daily is its ability to strengthen muscles throughout the body. While it may seem like a straightforward movement, walking engages various muscle groups, including those in the legs, core, and even the arms. By consistently walking every day, these muscles are gradually strengthened, leading to improved stability, balance, and overall strength. This increased muscle strength can help prevent injuries, reduce joint pain, and enhance overall physical performance.

Another significant benefit of walking is its positive impact on mental wellbeing. Engaging in a daily walk can help reduce stress, alleviate anxiety, and boost mood by releasing endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals.

Walking outdoors also provides an opportunity to connect with nature, clear your mind, and improve mental clarity, ultimately promoting a sense of calm and overall well-being.

In addition to building strength, walking regularly also plays a crucial role in improving mobility. As we age, maintaining mobility becomes increasingly important for carrying out daily activities and preserving independence. Walking helps to enhance flexibility in the joints, improve range of motion, and promote better posture. By incorporating a daily walking routine into your schedule, you can prevent stiffness, increase joint mobility, and reduce the risk of developing mobility-related issues in the future.

Whether you choose to walk in your neighborhood, a nearby park, or on a treadmill, making walking a daily habit can lead to a healthier, more active lifestyle. So lace up your shoes, step outside, and experience the transformative power of daily walking for yourself.

Improve balance and prevent falls this season.

Tor’s Taste

T UR

With Victoria Barndt

One of my favorite things to look out for in The Valley is the rotation of food trucks! There are sooo many delicious trucks that visit many small businesses in the area. Perkiomen Valley Brewing, Simple Days Beer, and the Valleys community events often feature food trucks.

Honestly if you think about it, food trucks are always moving to new locations, so hunting them down is basically exercise. That means they’re healthy for you, so hop to it and go eat something delicious. That’s an order!

This month I sampled one of my all time favorite food trucks for you all, (it was hard work so you’re welcome) Cousins Maine Lobster. Their menu features Lobsters, rolls, tacos, grilled cheeses, chowders, bisque soup and quesadillas! I indulged with the Lobster Tacos, as it’s my favorite item on their menu! They are sixteen dollars and full of cabbage, pico de gallo, jalapenos, a cilantro lime cream sauce and overflowing with lobster meat! I believe you get the most bang for your buck with the tacos. Look at this entire claw that was in one of the delicious tacos. Look. at. It. I’m drooling. I like to add a little extra pop of flavor by getting an extra side of butter, and squeezing fresh lime on them. The taste is immaculate. Dang, now I want some lobster tacos and I’m writing this at 9:30 am on a Monday morning…

Well if you’re anything like me and the thought of Lobster really got your claws clacking, I highly suggest hunting down one of the many Cousins Maine Lobster trucks. The company started in 2012 in L.A. with the hopes to bring fresh Maine Lobster to different areas of the country and grew famous with their appearance on Shark Tank! Yum! And finally, if you guys have any favorite food trucks in the area and are oh so tasty, send their info my way! I would love to sample and taste them now that the warm weather is ramping up, and get some more reviews going here! But for now, go get some Lobster Tacos, tell them Tor sent ya!
