Bill > HRes428

This resolution recognizes the significance of the moving and storage industry in the United States by supporting the designation of May 2025 as "Moving Month". The resolution highlights that over 15 million households move annually, and more than 70 percent of moves occur between May and September. It emphasizes the industry's economic and logistical importance, noting that in 2024 there were nearly 8,000 interstate household goods carriers employing 200,000 people with annual payrolls exceeding $13 billion. The resolution also underscores the industry's critical role in supporting national defense by coordinating approximately 300,000 military household goods shipments each year through the Department of Defense's Defense Personal Property Program. The primary purposes of "Moving Month" are to raise public awareness about the moving and storage companies' contributions and to promote respect for the essential work of safely transporting household goods. Ultimately, the resolution thanks the moving and storage industry and encourages public recognition of their professional services.
