Household Goods Moving Associations
Posted by David Piotrowski
People often ask what organizations represent the household goods moving and storage industry. There are many state and local organizations that movers can belong to. For example, California has the California Moving and Storage Association. On a federal level, many movers belong to the American Moving and Storage Association (AMSA). This organization is discussed in further detail in an earlier blog post on AMSA. An organization representing the household goods industry on a nationwide and global scale is the Household Goods Forwarders Association of America (HHGFAA). The HHGFAA is discussed in an earlier blog post here.
AMSA
Posted by David Piotrowski
AMSA, short for the American Moving and Storage Association, is a name that all interstate movers should know. AMSA is an organization comprised of many domestic (and some international) moving companies that conduct interstate household goods moving services, as well as their suppliers and vendors.
AMSA was established in 1936 and currently serves around 3,700 members.
Membership in AMSA is available to those who qualify and members receive periodic newsletters with updates on the industry, access to annual events, certification programs, educational seminars, and more.
For more information, visit AMSA’s website.
