CMSA Los Angeles Chapter Meeting 2-8-11

For those of you that don't know what the CMSA is = California Moving and Storage Association.... Box Brothers has been a member of this organization for 20 years.... What many of you don't know, is that the President of Box Brothers used to be a Chapter President.... Over the past 10 years I have been attending these meetings on my own with help from Dan Wagner or Bill Carter up in the Bay Area.... Last night I had the opportunity to go with Mark Frydman and found out just how much Mark knows about the industry..... It wasn't his knowledge on the history of the moving industry that stood out to me, it was his willingness to get a new chapter member introduced to the "old schoolers" so this young kid could feel welcomed while promoting his new moving company....
http://www.boxbros.com/furniture-moves I heard stories about Bekins in the 70's.... How they used to be all union workers..... A Union strike that made a lot of those Bekins employees go off and start the many moving companies of today that we all know... I've met Paul Bekins a son of the Bekins family... He owns Bekins North West Atlas in the Seattle area... They're a very interesting family and their name is still one of the biggest movers in the industry... The stories I heard at the meeting were just amazing.... The moving industry is made up of hard working entrepreneur's that had to build their empire off of sweat and tears....
I have a new appreciation of who Mark Frydman truly is..... His ability to talk, "as we all have heard his stories", to everybody in the room and give true advice on business and on life... I am proud to be a part of his team and know that our Company is run by a man with so much knowledge, that actually cares about the other companies and people in this industry..... We all know he gets upset from time to time but he does care about everybody that works for Box Brothers... I'm off to San Diego to attend the CMSA San Diego Chapter Meeting with our new franchisee Charlie and his brother Ryan in Ranch Bernardo, Ca....... http://www.boxbros.com/
