About Atlantic Relocation Systems
Our Company History
Atlantic Moving & Storage Co., Inc. was launched into business in Atlanta, GA in 1966 by Ted Alger, an immigrant from Greece. Originally operating out of a 700 sq. ft. warehouse/office,
Atlantic Relocation Systems officially began as an agent for Wheaton Van Lines. Within four short years the company had grown to become the largest Wheaton agent and quickly realized that to continue to support the phenomenal growth that was experiencing a change to a larger carrier would be necessary.
In 1970 Atlantic Relocation Systems became an agent for North American Van Lines and by the mid 1980’s the company had expanded coast to coast and had risen to become the largest agent group for North American. During the 90’s Atlantic Relocation Systems continued to grow, eventually moving the company affiliation from North American over to Atlas Van Lines in 1997. This conversion became known as the largest van line agent conversion in history.
Our Relationship With Atlas Vanlines
Atlas Van Lines became the carrier of choice for several reasons. First and foremost was agent ownership. Atlantic Relocation Systems is one of many agents which own the van line. Additionally, Atlantic Relocation Systems’ Ted Alger occupies a seat on the board of directors. Finally, Atlas’ product mix most closely compliments the traditional product mix of Atlantic Relocation Systems, with nearly 65% of household goods relocation sales coming from the corporate account market segment. Atlantic Relocation Systems is extremely proud to be a part of the Atlas Van Lines family.
