issued by American Moving and Storage Association:
AMSA's ProMover(SM) Certification Will Protect Consumers, Put 'Rogues' Out of
Business

WHAT:  A news event to unveil ProMover(SM), an innovative program created by
the American Moving and Storage Association to help protect consumers by
ensuring that the movers they hire are legitimate, honest professionals. 

The ProMover(SM) program seeks to put an end to the small but devastating
problem of "rogue movers" -- criminals who pose as legitimate movers to rip
off consumers -- with a comprehensive program of pre-screening, annual reviews
and a strict revocation process for companies that fail to adhere to the
ProMover(SM) pledge of professionalism. The ProMover(SM) designation will
represent a new standard for professionalism and excellence and a "must have"
credential to be identified as a trusted, professional mover.

Rogue Movers: How Reputable is Your Moving Company?

Wednesday February 28, 2007

All moving companies are not created equal. We made this discovery when moving from a rural community, where the choice of cross-country movers was extremely limited, to the opposite side of the continent. In the end, we did manage to get our damaged goods back, but it took the police, an enthusiastic television crew and our determined efforts to do it – a situation no one should experience.

More and more people are going online to find a moving company, with mixed results. It seems that the Search Engine Marketing Skills of a few savvy webmasters are out-performing legitimate moving companies in the search engine results pages.

Type “move to Frederick Maryland” into Google and the majority of the listings Google returns are NOT moving companies.

What shows up at nearly all of the top organic listings are so called ”Moving Company Directories”.  The highly skilled in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) webmasters are staking out the keywords people search for

Nationally, the moving industry creates $16.5 billion each year in earnings, provides nearly 123,000 jobs and spends $7 billion on equipment, parts and supplies.

This is still a Frederick Maryland Moving Company Website is search for a Maryland Moving Company to sponsor it.

Relocating to Frederick Maryland

Gently Rolling Hills of Frederick Maryland

Looking at a map, Maryland is small, oddly shaped and squeezed between Pennsylvania and Virginia.

High up in the wooded Appalachians, Western Maryland has all the mountain trappings of West Virginia. Closer to sea level, crab boats bob in the Chesapeake, evoking a stately Southern feel. Near Virginia, Southern Maryland is a wash of suburbs surrounding Washington D.C.

Civil War Facts about Maryland:

62,000 Marylanders fought for the North and 22,000 fought for the South.

More casualties occured in Sharpsburg in a single day then in the entire history of the US Military… this includes D Day in WW2!

Since then, the long march of Irish, German, Hungarian, Scandinavian and Russian immigrants through the Port of Baltimore and steady flow of African-Americans from Southern States has made Maryland a state where stereotypes and assumptions are as fragile as a steamed crab’s shell.

Now that you’re moving to Maryland, there are a few facts you’ll want to keep in mind:

As of 2007, Maryland is home to 5,618,344 people – which makes it the 19th most populous state in America but it’s only the 42nd largest.

Maryland’s official state sport is jousting.

Maryland’s state house, in Annapolis (the state capital), has the largest all wood dome in the U.S. It’s topped by a sculpture of an acorn (a symbol of wisdom which is, ironically, installed upside down).

In Maryland it’s to sell chicks or ducklings to a minor within one week of Easter??

Maryland’s state song is “Maryland, My Maryland,” sung to the melody of “Oh Christmas Tree.”

Francis Scott Key, a Frederick Maryland resident wrote the “Star-Spangled Banner” in Baltimore, while watching the bombardment of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812.
