ATLAS® VAN LINES RECOGNIZES THREE AGENTS WITH SPECIALIZED TRANSPORTATION GROUP QUALITY AWARD

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.
The Specialized Transportation Group Quality Award recognizes what it takes to excel in this demanding segment of the transportation industry. Among the criteria, agents must:
  • Conduct business as a full-service agency, meeting or exceeding eight quality standards of the Atlas® World-Class Commitment;
  • Possess a superior warehouse facility;
  • Have operated as an Atlas® Agent for a full convention year; and
  • Achieve combined booker and hauler revenue of at least $1,000,000 in Specialized Transportation business.
The recipients of this year’s Specialized Transportation Group Quality Award are:

Advance Relocation Systems (59) — Baltimore, Md.
J. W. Cole & Sons, Inc. (1772) — Detroit, Mich.
Specialty Moving Systems, Inc. (1811) — Glendale Heights, Ill.

"These agents contribute to the excellent work offered by Atlas year after year by putting safety, innovation, and awareness at the heart of their profession,” said Jack Griffin, chairman and CEO of Atlas World Group. “Without them, our network would not be what it is today, ensuring the company's and consumers' success."
