AMSA Launches New ProMover Program

The American Moving and Storage Association initiated a new program with the start of the moving season this year, ProMover. A ground-breaking new program intended to protect consumers and help guarantee they are hiring a legitimate, professional mover when they need to move their household belongings.

In this industry, just like many others, we have what are known as “rogue movers”- wicked people who pose as genuine movers in order to deceive consumers. It is hard to say how many rogue movers are out there since local law enforcement views it as a contractual dispute between the two parties. This new program that the AMSA has implemented is meant to be a deterrent for these individuals from here on out. Each member of the AMSA will be a ProMover and in order to be a ProMover you must be a member of the AMSA. This comprehensive program will include a pre-screening portion, annual reviews, and a firm revocation process for movers who do not sustain the program’s high principles. This status will represent a new standard for professionalism and merit and a “must have” credential to be acknowledged as a reputable and proficient mover.

Once this program gets into full swing you will see a ProMover logo on our website, as well as many other All My Sons websites. This logo is meant to let the customer know that they are dealing with a licensed and certified mover. There will be a link to the site that allows you as a consumer to see a list of current ProMovers, as well as being able to report criticism through a toll free number and a dedicated e-mail address.

The AMSA has a projected date of January 1, 2009 for this program to fully implemented, with the initial screening process to begin this fall. Now with this new program Dallas movers, moving to Dallas as well as moving from Dallas, will know that they have hired an honest, responsible, licensed and professional mover.

So look for the logo on our website real soon, as we are a proud memeber of the AMSA and can not wait to be a founding member of the ProMover Program.
