All agents in the National Van Lines family across the U.S. have joined the American Moving & Storage Association effective immediately, the two organizations announced last Friday.


"This decision tracks with AMSA's strategic plan to both increase our membership and to better serve the entire professional moving industry," said Linda Bauer Darr, AMSA president and CEO.

The agreement is the result of discussions between AMSA and National Van Lines management based on proposals raised within the framework of AMSA's Membership Advisory Task Force. The new arrangement is designed to spread the benefits of AMSA membership more uniformly through National as the van line grows its value proposition to its customers and its agents.

The membership task force sought to review and re-shape the value AMSA members receive. The process, which began in 2010, included subcommittees focused on specific industry segments. It will continue in 2011 when a new dues schedule is expected to be announced to go with the newly revised range of member benefits.

All U.S. agents of both Atlas Van Lines and Arpin Van Lines also joined AMSA this year.
