Carrier Partnership Announcement
We are very proud and excited to announce a new, enhanced partnership with AmTrust in our Mover’s Choice Program. Over the past year, we’ve worked with AmTrust to design a comprehensive, nationwide AL/GL offering that can meet the needs of all Mover’s Choice customers. This will allow us to expand our appetite across the board. This means all Auto, General Liability, Workers’ Compensation and Umbrella quotes will now transition through AmTrust.
The ability to bundle coverages with one insurance carrier is far more efficient and economical as opposed to placing multiple lines of business through various carriers. From accounting to policy issuance, endorsements and the renewal process, it’s just flat out more efficient on all fronts.
In addition to expanding our geographic reach with AmTrust, we are also expanding our Risk Management Services by bringing loss control services to more customers, including consultative services to assist our valued customers control their overall cost of loss and insurance.

Bills Would Eliminate Duplicate
Background Checks
The American Trucking Associations hailed the introduction of a pair of bills that will streamline the credentialing process for millions of professional truck drivers, easing a number of onerous and unnecessary burdens.
Back Safety Guidelines
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, back injuries account for one of every five on the job injuries. This figure is even higher for the moving industry. Eighty percent of these injuries occur to the lower back and are associated with manual lifting. Knowing the risk factors for injury can go a long way in injury prevention.
Machine Guarding Safety
Injuries caused by power equipment can be painful and costly, but almost always can be prevented. Review the safety features of power equipment with all employees to ensure proper use of machine guards and other safeguarding systems. Protective glasses and gloves should be worn during operation to minimize operator risk.
