Yes, we all agree that this industry is going through its biggest changes since deregulation. Unfortunately, negative blogs that are out there or mass emails that accomplish nothing but ugly attacks will help NOBODY and they will not change a thing.
What we all need to do is have intelligent conversations to help steer us through these times.
The problem is much bigger than the moving industry too: the economy, our lack of work for the middle class, our Senators, Congress and leaders not being able to make any substantial decisions because they fear losing their wonderful paychecks and people following whoever stands up and yells the loudest.
Some blogs or Facebook postings represent every reason why the country is where it is at: stand up there, pound your fist and get everyone pissed off...real good...that helps.
Get involved!
Help direct change with positive suggestions.
Greed is at the root of most problems. If you pull the thread on most problems either personal, work or otherwise you will come to the greed factor. Wall Street, banking and housing mortgages, people telling lies and back stabbing. It's all for the almighty dollar.
How much is enough? Under the old TOPS program in the military, rates rose like we had never seen in this industry, yet people wanted more. People spent more and it did not better the quality of service nor the demand.
On top of that, the military member was not always given the courtesies that we extend to other lines of work. Paul Arpin always respected our military members but some other Van Lines treated them as second class citizens. These are men and women who sacrifice for our country...that is a shame.

So the government stepped in, the same government that cannot make the hard decisions on anything.
Thus we are in what we are in.
It will get better, we will find a way to pay our haulers what they deserve without overcharging our military members and we will provide them the service that they so justly deserve.
It will change.
Through positive hard work and discussions...that is the only way anything really changes...not through negativity and fist pounding.
