Larry Kruger has worked in the moving sector for decades, but the independent relocation consultant worries about one particular type of move – the gap that continues to grow between movers and their business prospects. “We keep moving away from the professional sales aspect of this,” he told an annual meeting of the Canadian Association of Movers, asking why businesses increasingly look at sales teams as “order takers”.

Canada’s household movers can get a bad rap — and not all the complaints are deserved. Such businesses account for six times more fake reviews submitted to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) than any other industry, says Mary O’Sullivan-Anderson, the bureau’s president and CEO serving Southern Alberta and East Kootenay.

This column would have been completed sooner, but I was stuck in traffic. There’s nothing unusual about that. Not in the Greater Toronto Area. The commute from my home in the region’s east end to the western office in Etobicoke takes about an hour when everything flows smoothly, and the drive is seldom described in such terms. Rush hour transformed into rush hours many years ago. Construction activity and collisions simply add to the misery, blocking the few available lanes.

The award-winning Canadian author of horror stories — and inspiration behind the Wolf Pack television series on Paramount+ — is revisiting some of his terrifying 18-wheelers in the 25th anniversary edition of the Death Drives a Semi short story anthology.

Ninety-two fleets of every size were recognized for reaching those thresholds.
