The American Trucking Association (ATA) has integrated the Moving & Storage Conference and the Moving & Storage Council into the organization to benefit small and independent moving and storage companies.
The effort would also aid large van lines. The storage industry shares ATA’s commitment to advocating for highway safety.
“ATA was honored that leaders in the moving and storage industry would consider joining our federation as a conference, and today’s vote is the next step in that process,” ATA President and CEO Chris Spear said. “By welcoming these leaders into the ATA family, we will be in a stronger position to represent the interests of our industry at both the state and federal level. This new, larger, and stronger organization will be better able to serve our members.”
ATA and American Moving and Storage Association are slated to guide the new Moving & Storage Conference creation process for motor carriers over the next several weeks and months, officials said.
ATA Chairman and President of Triple G Express and Southeastern Motor Freight Randy Guillot said the announcement is the start of an exciting new chapter in welcoming members of the moving and storage industry into the ATA federation.
“In joining with this critical industry sector, we look forward to strengthening our combined reach and impact,” he said.
