What Every Mover Should Know About Common Claims and How to Avoid Them
By Casey Myers

There are several types of insurance claims that we see time and time again. Many of them haven’t changed in years. Here are some of the most common ones and solutions you can implement easily to avoid them and minimize damages.

All You need to know about USTC’s TRB Process
By Oded Carmi

As an approved DoD TSP it’s incredibly important to know your rights of appeal through a TRB process should you find yourself on the wrong side of considerable punitive action or an unfavorable novation decision. TRB is commonly referred to as, “Transportation Review Board” or officially, “Transportation Service Provider Review Board.” The TRB is USTC’s appeal mechanism for decisions involving TSP disqualifications, suspensions, revocations, and rejected novations.

Kick off this year’s IAM Annual Meeting & Expo with the Official IAM Afterparty benefitting Move For Hunger, presented by Cornerstone Moving & Storage. The Afterparty, hosted by the U.S. Domestic Asset-Based Movers (U.S. DAB) group will be held in the Hyatt Hotel’s International Ballroom from 9:00 p.m.–midnight following the Opening Reception on November 2. All proceeds benefit IAM’s charity partner Move For Hunger in their mission to end hunger and food waste. Get your tickets or learn more today at the Afterparty website!
