the moving company.

Q: Does residential moving pricing differ from corporate pricing?
A: Because of the many different players in our industry, pricing can be
all over the board. The key component is to get a reputable firm who can educate
you on pricing, services and support offered … ensuring you receive "apples-to-apples”
pricing. The pricing program will also depend on the time of year you are moving.

Q: When moving locally, is a national van line more expensive than a local mover?
A: It varies from mover to mover, typically because the national van line
does not share in the revenue. Van line agents can be just as competitive and sometimes
safer to use because of their affiliations.

Q: Why doesn’t Atlas Van Lines more aggressively advertise its residential moving
services?
A: Atlas is a highly specialized moving van line. Seventy-five percent of
our business is corporate contract moving, which is residential in nature. Atlas
is a highly qualified residential mover. Yet, because of our business model and
specialization, we choose not to advertise residential moving business.
