What is a Certified Mover?
I understand moving is a stressful time in Atlanta, and the way moving companies price their moves may be confusing. Furthermore, deciding who will be the mover of your family's personal possessions and whom you invite into your home isn't a simple task either.
Thanks to the American Moving & Storage Association of America they have come up with a program to help you decide who is best for you. This program is called the AMSA Certified Mover and Van Line Program. Here is how it works:
The AMSA Certified Mover and Van Line Program is a voluntary program for movers who elect to participate by committing to provide a professional level of service, together with efficient complaint handling and dispute resolution services for their customers. It is ope to all AMSA members. AMSA Certified Movers and Van Lines are held to a high standard of performance as agreed to in the AMSA Code of Conduct.
Program Benefits
The AMSA certification program protects the public by providing an identifiable measure of competency, while aiding the moving industry by encouraging and recognizing high professional achievement. It also puts a strong emphasis on the value of a professional move and sends a positive message to potential customers, Federal and State political leaders and consumer groups.
Through self-regulation, the AMSA Certified Mover and Van Line Program serves to:• Improve the professionalism of industry employees.• Furnish a means of distinguishing consumer-oriented companies.• Assist companies in enforcing get-tough quality control policies.• Be an impetus to improve internal industry training programs.• Aid in recruiting better employees and contractors.• Ensure just and reasonable practices and rates.• Reduce claims and legal expenses.• Help to avoid unnecessary government regulatory burdens.• Provide a valuable marketing tool for participants.• Encourage growth in AMSA membership.
The Certified Mover and Van Line Program helps to protect the public by providing an identifiable measure of quality while, at the same time, enhancing the moving industry by encouraging and recognizing high professional achievement. Under the voluntary program, movers are required to observe a professional code of conduct and to provide service to their private transferee (C.O.D.) and, as an option, their corporate customers, in a manner that promotes confidence in the interstate household goods moving and storage industry. A certificate and a special seal that may be used in their advertisements identifies certified movers and certified van lines.
Listed below are several questions you should answer prior to committing to a moving company. If you answer "NO" to any of these questions, your mover is not in compliance with Federal Regulations.
1) Are they licensed and insured?2) Do they have their tariff filed and available to be viewed in their main office upon your request?3) Do they have an Arbitration Program available?4) Did they provide you with a copy of OCE-100 Your Rights and Responsibilities booklet?5) Did they provide you with a copy of their household goods dispute settlement program?6) Did they provide you with a copy of their complaint and inquiry handling procedure?7) Did they provide you with a high value and valuation information sheet?8) Did they provide you with a Ready to Move brochure?By choosing an AMSA Certified mover you are guaranteeing yourself a successful move and should something go wrong the mover is most likely going to take extra care of you so that they can keep their certification..

Great Atlanta Movers - Great Reviews
Here it is summertime again and I know you’ve got plenty of things on your mind – what to do with the kids during the summer, the cost of gasoline, the heat, etc. The last thing you should have to worry about is your move. I’ve decided to share with you some of the comments from our customers so that you can see how great of a mover we are.
This one is from Al D. he said he was contacted us by the phone we were very nice and happy to work with him. When asked what made him decide to use All My Sons he responded, “Friends next door used you, what great care was taken with their stuff." He loved that our movers were, “Very prepared, ready to start, and moved throughout home swiftly.” He felt as though the move went, “Very good.” and the movers were, “A great crew.”When Al was asked how could all of my sons have major move better? His response was, “If they had keys to both houses I could have been in Hawaii!”
This one is from Brad B. and Selina B. – when describing their first contact with All My Sons their response was, “Over the phone, very nice and knowledgeable about pricing" "They helped me decide on the number of people and hours that would meet our needs.” They felt as though our men were, “Very prepared they moved quickly and efficiently.” “They wrapped everything quickly and carefully, they’re very hard workers and did a great job.” When asked what could be done to make their move better their response was, “Nothing!” “They were great I will definitely contact them again.”
Katrina C. chose All My Sons because, “Customer service was excellent” the reason she chose All My Sons is because of the, “Customer service, price, and reputation. She felt as though the crew was, “Very prepared and started immediately.” Katrina also said the crew was, “very hard workers, I couldn’t have done it without them!”
The last one I’ll do today is from Dan M. when asked about why he chose All My Sons Moving and Storage his response was “Was contacted within 24 hours.” And, “It was a rapid professional response.” Dan loved, “Ease of ordering service And, “Good reputation with in my apartment complex.” Dan also said it was a good experience – and the move was done faster than the expected time.

Moving Brokers are Bad
Hey, it’s just me again… Your friend, the local mover in the Atlanta Moving industry… Just trying to help save you from heartache and from a nightmare move.
What are brokers? They are what some Atlanta movers use that give you a quote – then they auction it off to the lowest bidder. That means that the professional Atlanta movers that you think is showing up is sometimes a man in a pick-up truck pulling a trailer… Sometimes it’s a horse trailer!
Listen up… That is not the way to move your furniture! Those trailers do not have the suspension that a moving truck has. These Atlanta mover usually don’t have the experience to complete a move. Your property is damaged, stolen, and sometimes made to look like it is not broken (this can be very dangerous when you have children)!!!
I’ve seen old rental moving trucks that have the original decals removed – then local Atlanta movers spray paint Moving Co. and a phone number on the side of the truck with a can of spray paint. These local Atlanta movers are not licensed and insured.
The problem with these Atlanta movers and with the Atlanta movers that brokers send out is simple… If they get hurt in your house or even on your property they can sue you! These local Atlanta Movers also use untrained day laborers that are in no hurry to get the job done… Why would they? They have no guaranteed job the next day! So on top of a extremely long move – you will also have items missing!
Here at All My Sons Moving and Storage. - You talk to us, and it is All My Sons Moving and Storage that moves you! Just a great company doing a great move for you! We are a local moving company that takes pride in all of the moves we do - no matter how large or small, and no matter it it's right next door - or across the country. In my next blog I'm going to show you an example of the professional moving jobs we do!

Ok, so here it is – the start of another summer… That means it’s a flood of calls from people wanting to move. That means plenty of people that are pissed because their Atlanta movers didn’t show up. They just left them waiting around for them. There some Atlanta movers that tell customers that they will be there and then never show up! What happens is these Atlanta movers book your move, after telling you what a great job they will do for you. They hang up the phone… Then the phone rings and it’s a larger move. You have a decent sized house… 2-3 bedrooms along with 2-3 other rooms. The problem is the next call is bigger – and these little Atlanta movers have to chase the bigger moves. If you are in an Apartment – forget it! These bad Atlanta movers will sometimes not show up!
Go with a reputable company. Choose a local Atlanta mover that will not bail out on you at the last moment. Atlanta’s local movers - All My Sons Moving and Storage scrambles to get our men to cover moves that other local Atlanta movers don't show up for every month. Some Atlanta Movers use Brokers.
