The American Moving & Storage Association (AMSA) was the non-profit trade association representing members of the professional moving industry based primarily in the United States. Its approximately 4,000 members consisted of van lines, their agents, independent movers, forwarders, industry suppliers, and certain individuals and organizations (AMSA did not represent the self-storage industry).
AMSA administered the industry’s ProMover quality certification program, aimed at consumers. It offered its members professional training and certification and provided them with federal government representation, statistical industry reporting, arbitration services for loss or damage claims, safety and compliance guidance, federal government rate filing, professional conferences, public relations, publications, and annual safety and quality awards. It published a bimonthly magazine, Direction, and a quarterly data summary, Industry Trends. Based in Alexandria, Virginia, AMSA was affiliated with 27 state moving associations and several international moving associations. Its Moving & Storage Institute, founded in 2001, sponsored industry research and scholarships.
In 2020, AMSA was absorbed by the American Trucking Associations.
