The Mobile Society: A History of the Moving and Storage Industry

From the Book's Foreword: "The moving and storage industry is big: it is a one-and-a-half to two-billion dollar industry. It is diverse. It works directly with many kinds of customers. It packs, it stores, it moves to and from the home or office. It uses mainly trucks, but water, air, and other modes may be used, and it serves the needs of families and individuals as well as large and small corporations and government. But in spite of its millions of customers, few know much about it. This is the big why of the industry history."
