The quality does truly show in every move
we make. As shown in the chart below, United has proved
once again that it stands out from the competition. This
year, the survey combined high-value goods carrier and
household-goods carriers into one category for van
lines. Only three van lines made it into the survey,
with United Van Lines being named the winner in the
overall category and the winner of the customer service
and equipment and operations categories. United also

United Van Lines Passes ISO 9001:2000 Audit
to Retain Certification |
| |
|
 ST.
LOUIS, May 27, 2005, – United Van Lines, the nation's largest
household goods transportation company, has passed its ISO 9001:2000
registration audit to retain its ISO status. United originally
obtained its ISO status in 2003. National Quality Assurance USA (NQA),
a world-renowned ISO registrar, conducted the registration audit.
The announcement was made by Richard H. McClure, president and chief
operating officer of UniGroup, the parent company of United Van
Lines.
“Most companies like to say that they are committed
to quality, but United has proven it by adhering to the strict
standards of the ISO 9001:2000 standard,” said McClure. “United Van
Lines has always focused on continued quality, and this is just one
more step in providing our customers with the highest quality moving
services.”
The ISO 9001 standard is an internationally recognized and accepted
set of guidelines and requirements used to define ”quality
management system" of an organization. One of the main tenets of the
standard is for the organization to demonstrate continual quality
improvement. NQA is the impartial auditor who evaluated the
effectiveness and completeness of the quality management system
before recommending United's registration.
United
Van Lines transports electronic equipment, trade show exhibits and
displays, works of art, and specialized freight, in addition to
household goods. United, with headquarters located in suburban St.
Louis, maintains a network of 1,000 affiliated agencies in 135
countries around the world. |
