Gloria Pugh, an advocate for consumer rights and industry standards, recently took on a crucial role as a facilitator at the American Trucking Associations’ (ATA) Moving & Storage Conference in Washington, D.C. At the conference, she led a pivotal discussion focused on addressing fraudulent practices in the moving industry, specifically targeting the harmful activities of dishonest moving brokers and rogue companies. The meeting, held at ATA MSC headquarters, gathered top executives from reputable moving companies nationwide and featured Monique B. Riddick, Chief of the Commercial Enforcement Division at the Office of Safety, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Together, these industry and regulatory leaders worked to devise actionable solutions to curb fraud in the moving sector.
Strengthening Consumer Protection Laws to Ensure Fair Practices
The key focus of the discussion was on strengthening consumer protection laws and implementing regulations that prevent fraudulent moving practices. By advocating for a fair marketplace, Pugh emphasized the importance of ensuring that reputable moving companies like AMWAT Moving Warehousing Storage can operate without facing unfair competition from dishonest entities. The commitment to honesty and professionalism in the moving industry is central to AMWAT and other reputable companies, who seek to protect consumers from the predatory tactics of fraudulent brokers and rogue movers.
A Commitment to Nationwide Change in the Moving Industry
As a recognized leader in advocating for consumer protection, Gloria Pugh expressed her gratitude to the industry leaders and FMCSA representatives who participated in the conference. She highlighted the collective mission to make meaningful changes that benefit consumers and elevate standards across the entire industry.
“I am committed to driving meaningful change in consumer protection at the national level,” said Gloria Pugh. “Just as I was instrumental in strengthening consumer protection laws within Florida’s moving industry, I am now focused on enhancing protections through federal regulations under the U.S. Code for interstate moving. Families deserve a fair and safe experience, and I am dedicated to ensuring that integrity and accountability become standard across the industry.”
Building a Reliable Moving Industry for American Families
The conference underscored the united resolve of moving industry leaders and regulators to protect consumers and foster a reliable, honest moving industry. This collaborative approach, led by committed advocates like Gloria Pugh, aims to create a safer environment for families and individuals moving across state lines. Together, they are working to ensure that consumers can trust their moving providers and avoid the risks associated with fraudulent brokers and companies.
AMWAT Moving Warehousing Storage is proud to support these initiatives, standing alongside Gloria Pugh and other leaders to strengthen the industry and prioritize consumer safety.
