The Atlas Connection

The backbone, to our nationwide capabilities is our long-standing relationship with Atlas Van Lines, U.S. DOT No. 125550. With more than 40 years experience as an Atlas agent we have forged an excellent relationship with key personnel at the Evansville headquarters as well as the 400 agents strategically located throughout the country. The Atlas connection puts us in the very unique position of being able to service the varied needs of our accounts no matter what the origin or destination.

Atlas Van Lines is owned by its agents, which means that the services we provide are approved and improved upon by a Board of Directors comprised of movers. Agent ownership assures our customers that Atlas is always involved in the servicing process. As one of the largest Atlas agents, as well as one of the longest standing agents in the system, Certified was instrumental in affecting the changes that caused Atlas to become an agent owned company, and is prominently represented on the Board of Directors. Atlas is a company responsive to the needs of our customers, and our agency plays an important role in every process.

In the area of household goods transportation, Certified focuses on performance through individual accountability. Nothing sets our brand of service apart from our competition like the unique, unrestricted right to use our own staff and equipment to pack and haul the traffic that our customers entrust to us. The self-haul, self pack policy promotes agent responsibility and ensures better communication and smoother employee moves.

Atlas has a history of continually building upon its quality service. "Operation Excellence" is an ongoing service audit of every household goods shipment that Certified handles. We have the ability to evaluate the performance of every driver and agent in the system for strengths and weaknesses and effectively target and correct any areas that need improvement. When our customers receive our commitment to perform a service, they can rest assured that the service will be carried through in a professional and timely manner.

Atlas Van Lines is a readily available resource which can provide Certified with access to more than 2000 tractors, 2400 trailers and more than 1200 straight vans throughout the country. An ever growing agency network provides us with a nationwide system of capabilities. Quarterly performance evaluations on every service entity enable Certified to provide a level of quality service that will meet and often exceed our customers expectations, including those of the employees being relocated. Certified's affiliation with Atlas Van Lines also gives us the opportunity to provide an array of domestic services well beyond the scope of many other household goods movers.

Atlas' Special Products Division handles a multitude of high value, delicate products, on specially designed trucks utilizing highly trained crews to safely handle even the most sensitive shipment. Atlas Special Products Division has developed the expertise to be a nationwide resource for tradeshow shipments, fine art shipments and shipments on tour. We maintain a Climate Control fleet for environmentally sensitive machinery, store and office fixtures, and general commodities. Our capabilities extend to Canada through Atlas Van Lines (Canada) Ltd. Over 200 agent locations in Canada provide the support necessary to assure superior performance on intra/inter-provincial and U.S. cross border traffic.
