Jobe (866) 276-5656 [email protected] C P P C President’s Message Hello everyone and welcome to the 2012 Fall Convention here in San Antonio, TX! You should know that this is the first time that the CPPC and AMSA have scheduled their events at the same location, and we are very excited about this joint venture. You will find this a great opportunity to meet AMSA members and find out first-hand what AMSA is all about. When the opportunity presents itself, I know that you will introduce yourself to any AMSA members and help them feel welcome. The Convention is jam packed with information, including the newest session on the Better Business Bureau. Given that most of us, if not all of us, have had to respond to complaints from the BBB, this session should prove to be helpful in our claims handling. Other sessions include: Status of the Moving Industry; Claim Trends & Relationships; Transportation Law/Claim Resolu- tions; A message from Linda Bauer of AMSA; Carriers, Insurance Underwriters and Repair Firms-Just Whose Side Are You On?; breakout sessions on Military/GSA Claims Handling; Small Business Advisor and Social Media; as well as an Inter- active Round Table on Claim Resolution. You will find the complete agenda with times and panelist information in your program. Please consider attending as many sessions as you can. For those of you who are first time attendees, please take time to introduce yourselves to your Board of Directors; and if you are looking to meet someone in particular, let one of us know and we will be happy to make introductions for you. Please also take a moment to locate me and introduce yourself. I enjoy meeting our membership and hearing about what you think of the event. Your ideas and suggestions are much appreciated and assist us with future event planning. Here’s to a great time in San Antonio for us all.

  • RCED-83-86 the Household Goods Moving Industry
    * I-“-,bwf BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Congress OF THE UNITEDSTATES The Household Goods Moving Industry: Changes Since Passage of Regulatory Reform Legislation Legislation enacted in 1980 reduced regulation of the interstate household goods moving industry. GAO reviewed the changes that have occurred among the industry’s large- and medium-size carriers-com- monly called van lines--since passage of the 1980 legislation and the status of the Federal Govern- ment’s effort to monitor the changes. GAO found that --van lmes have begun to offer a variety of new service and price options, --agents of van lines have obtained new authority or expanded their existing authority to move household goods in additional States, but may not be using it, and --when compared with prior years’ income, the largest carriers were doing financially better than medium-sized carriers. The Interstate Commerce Commission has developed a monitoring program to provide information to the Congress on van lines’ compliance with its new operating regulations. However, GAO is concerned that the proposed program may not be fully responsive to congressional needs for information on the impact of the legislation on the shippers and the carriers.

Saturday June 2 10AM— 5PM 4850 35A St. SE Sunday June 3 10AM— 4PM Calgary, AB T2B 3M8 Monday June 4 10AM— 4PM Eastfield INDUSTRIAL AREA Contents for Sale by Owner/Executor Welcome My brother and I would like to welcome you to our father’s, Vic Halase, extensive collection of – well, almost anything! Vic was born in 1929 in Drumheller, Alberta to a Hungarian coal miner and his wife. He be- came an entrepreneur early in life as he left school before reaching the age of 16. He did things like selling shoes, riding the “rails” and picking up truckloads of coke, by hand, to take to Calgary to sell. Being a truck driver by trade, Vic was always drawn to vehicles – both cars and trucks. He had his own trucking business and discovered an interest in restoring old, mostly antique, vehicles. He was always collecting something that he might use on one of his 15 or more vehicles he eventually restored. Vic, and our mother Freda, were members of the Alberta Pioneer Auto Club. They enjoyed socializing and participating in many of the auto shows and tours, with Vic bringing home a number of trophies (another collection). As Vic’s eye sight deteriorated and he could no longer work on his vehicles, he began to collect model cars and trucks – then tractors, planes and trains. These collections blossomed into others and you now can all share in his love of collecting. Vic is very proud of his collection and is always happy to take anyone on a tour.
