EVANSVILLE, IND. – (Nov. 8, 2021) – Industry-leading relocation company, Atlas® Van Lines, recognized three agents as recipients of the 2021 Specialized Transportation Group Quality Award. Relocating high-value or unique items can present challenges, but these agents continually demonstrate unfailing sensitivity and creativity while implementing moving strategies that successfully ship products such as fine art, musical instruments, electronics, trade show exhibits, and store fixtures.

While the COVID-19 pandemic continued to present problems for many, even in 2021, Atlas agents weathered the storm and continued to perform outstanding work.

  • Possess a superior warehouse facility;
  • Have operated as an Atlas® Agent for a full convention year; and
