All About PODS Our History As firefighter and paramedic Peter Warhurst watched a boat get lifted by a hydraulic machine, he suddenly had his light bulb moment. Peter had seen too many families lose homes due to fire, struggling to find a way to keep their things safe and secure during a time of unexpected transition and need. He finally realized what they – and many others – needed: portable storage containers that move where you need them, when you need them. And from that moment of inspiration, PODS was born. Thanks to Peter’s invention, containers could now be delivered straight to the consumer, and the moving and storage game would never be the same.
