The American Moving Labor Professionals Association (AMLPA) was an American trade association representing moving labor companies within the moving industry based in the United States and Canada. The association was founded in 2009 and closed in 2016.[1]
At its peak the association had approximately 150 member companies that consist of fully licensed moving companies, moving labor services, and vendors to the moving industry suppliers. On its web site it listed featured members as well as a blacklist of companies to avoid.[2]
The AMLPA offered moving labor services varying levels of a quality certification program, aimed at consumers. Federal and local statutes regulating the moving labor industry are almost non-existent so the AMLPA acts was a non-profit group to set standards for its members.[3]
History
The AMLPA was formed on October 19, 2009, with three goals. To set standards for the moving labor industry which at this time is relatively unregulated, to raise consumer awareness about an alternative to traditional moving companies, to form a body of industry professionals and gain market share while differentiating themselves from unlicensed and uninsured day laborers.[4][5]
On October 6, 2016 the link to the AMLPA website reported: "The AMLPA is no longer in operation. We apologize for any inconvenience."[1]
Membership
Member companies included local and national companies that offered moving labor services. Members had to abide by an ethical code of conduct and comply with any state laws, federal transportation safety regulations or consumer protection regulations.[6]
