Actually, it probably frequently starts before you even get to the door. You get pulled in every possible direction and are called in to solve every unexpected problem that comes up. Crew that doesn’t show up. Computers that aren’t working. Refrigerator in the break room with suspicious smells. Equipment failures. Not to mention the problems that occur while crews are actually moving people. https://www.iamovers.org/NewsEvents/NewsDetail.aspx?ItemNumber=8126 Thu, 10 Feb 2022 05:00:00 GMT https://www.iamovers.org/NewsEvents/NewsDetail.aspx?ItemNumber=8084 Tue, 14 Dec 2021 05:00:00 GMT https://www.iamovers.org/NewsEvents/NewsDetail.aspx?ItemNumber=8083 Mon, 13 Dec 2021 05:00:00 GMT https://www.iamovers.org/NewsEvents/NewsDetail.aspx?ItemNumber=8008 Mon, 13 Sep 2021 04:00:00 GMT IAM President Charles White signed on to a joint letter to congressional leaders, urging them to reinstate the moving expense tax deduction effective Jan. 1 of this year, and also asked them to not increase corporate or individual tax rates at this time. https://www.iamovers.org/NewsEvents/NewsDetail.aspx?ItemNumber=7846 Thu, 06 May 2021 04:00:00 GMT This morning, the Trump Administration announced that community and minority owned lending institutions may begin processing PPP loan applications this Jan. 11.

This is really as complicated as it gets. Most people look at their financial statements like oh, yeah I know it's good for me but it is awful going down. Let me simplify it for you. Anytime anybody runs a business you have to answer three questions and really only three. Are you making money? That answer you will find on your profit and loss statement. Do you have enough cash to pay the bills for three months? This means can you cover your operating expenses for three months, or at least one quarter. Your cash flow statement will answer that question. Last but not least are you creating or destroying wealth? Your balance sheet will answer that question. https://www.iamovers.org/NewsEvents/NewsDetail.aspx?ItemNumber=7572 Fri, 09 Oct 2020 04:00:00 GMT When it comes to military compensation agreements, many moving agents feel the stress of the unknown. What will the rates be like? What will the TSP’s be willing to pay? Can I provide the quality of service necessary at those rates? To help calm these fears, plan ahead! Being a good agent partner with the TSP’s means just that; PARTNER. https://www.iamovers.org/NewsEvents/NewsDetail.aspx?ItemNumber=7573 Fri, 09 Oct 2020 04:00:00 GMT How do you we know we are getting paid enough for our services? How do we know what our costs are for providing that service? If all we look at is our bottom line to make that determination, we are missing out on the critical information we need to figure out our specific combination of revenue and expenses that can make us more profitable. https://www.iamovers.org/NewsEvents/NewsDetail.aspx?ItemNumber=7574 Fri, 09 Oct 2020 04:00:00 GMT https://www.iamovers.org/NewsEvents/NewsDetail.aspx?ItemNumber=7546 Sun, 13 Sep 2020 23:12:11 GMT https://www.iamovers.org/NewsEvents/NewsDetail.aspx?ItemNumber=7487 Tue, 28 Jul 2020 13:26:40 GMT Please see attached letter from Ms. Ellen Lord, Under Secretary for Acquisition and Sustainment, thanking industry for their commitment and focusing on maintaining the Defense Industrial Base.

To be clear, most of DoD’s current household goods service providers do not support this initiative. https://www.iamovers.org/NewsEvents/NewsDetail.aspx?ItemNumber=6816 Fri, 29 Mar 2019 04:00:00 GMT As the books are closed on 2015 and we start the business of 2016, IAM looks back at its successes last year and offers a look ahead into the issues and trends of this new year. https://www.iamovers.org/NewsEvents/NewsDetail.aspx?ItemNumber=3829 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 05:00:00 GMT Effective January 1, 2015, IAM is changing the dues structure of the Supplier, Core and Governing memberships.
