Gloria Pugh, CEO AMWAT Moving Warehousing Storage Leads Key Discussion to Tackle Fraud in the Moving Industry

Gloria Pugh recently played a pivotal role as a facilitator at the American Trucking Associations’ Moving & Storage Conference, where she guided an essential conversation addressing the pressing issue of fraudulent practices by dishonest moving brokers and rogue companies. This critical meeting took place in Washington D.C. and brought together top executives from the nation’s moving industry and Monique B. Riddick, Chief of the Commercial Enforcement Division at the Office of Safety, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), to devise actionable solutions to protect consumers.

The discussion focused on strengthening consumer protection laws to curb fraudulent activity and ensuring that reputable moving companies can operate in a fair marketplace. Gloria Pugh underscored the commitment of established companies, such as AMWAT Moving Warehousing Storage, to uphold industry integrity by providing honest, professional services and emphasized the need for comprehensive protections that extend to all consumers.

Pugh expressed her gratitude to the industry leaders and regulators who participated, noting that by working together, they can drive significant positive change in the industry. United in their mission, these leaders are committed to safeguarding consumers and fostering a reliable moving industry for families across the country. “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.”
