Today, in 2023, Atlas® not only sustains—it flourishes. Through its decades of service for people who move and those who move them, the company has strategically navigated a long road paved with challenges and achievements.
Drivers are the backbone of our industry: They represent our company when interacting with customers, driving down the road, or handling every item with care.
Have you ever wondered what moving companies looked like a century ago? The answer is: They were small, local businesses operating out of a one-room office.
They started as a small business moving lawmakers and their families to Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., and became the international moving and logistics company they are today.
Forty years ago, AtlasVan Lines and Alexander’s Mobility Services started their successfulpartnership and together set sail for the treacherous waters of the moving business.
Trends in the household goods moving industry can make quick turns, causing service providers to shift gears and change lanes. But armed with a tool like the Atlas® Van Lines & Agency Family Strategic Roadmap, knowing which route to take makes getting to the destination easier.
In August of this year, Atlas Logistics® welcomed a new company into the Atlas® family with the acquisition of Progressive Transportation, Inc., a premier provider of over-the-road pad-wrap transportation based in Wausau, Wisconsin.
Atlas® International is excited to announce the launch of its new and improved
website, www.atlasintl.com, which went live in March of this year. This refresh was initiated to better serve customers through continuous improvement and innovation to create a seamless digital experience.
Technology is rapidly changing the world—and Atlas® is building a Digital Ecosystem that will act as a bold new habitat. You may not think of butter as a technological leader. But Atlas® Van Lines Vice President and Chief Information Officer David Smith does. After all, it was the dairy product that sparked inspiration for the Atlas® Digital Ecosystem (DE).
For those working in or working with the Avail® Customer Care Program, it’s personal. When someone relocates, they are entrusting their life, their belongings, and their memories to their moving company. Essentially, a stranger.
A bold partnership between Atlas® Van Lines Canada and AMJ Campbell™ is reverberating across borders and into the future. At the 2021 Atlas® Convention, Pierre

major metropolitan areas.
Atlas® Van Lines’ intent has always been to drive profit to the front line where the work is done. The Agents. Now, that intention has manifested into a historic initiative that will reduce Atlas’ retention rates for the Agents of Atlas Van Lines and Atlas Logistics® and increase capacity for the organization overall - the Hauling Rebate.
The annual Atlas® Corporate Relocation Survey returns for its 55th year to highlight the upward trending of global mobility—and the unexpected ripple effects of the pandemic.
