An integral part of the moving process, it is the move coordinator’s role to serve as a single point of contact for the customer and all service providers throughout the entire move, so that the relocation experience is successful from the preparation through the final delivery stages. This award, added to the already existing Customer Choice Awards, continues the van line’s commitment to consistently delivering quality service to its customers.
