New Jersey Warehouse & Movers Association

Before 1969, the moving industry in New Jersey was unregulated, leaving consumers vulnerable to unethical and unprofessional business practices. Without online reviews or regulatory oversight, there was no easy way to verify a moving company’s reputation.

That changed when New Jersey legislators passed the ‘Public Movers Act’, requiring all movers to:
✔ Be licensed by the state
✔ Maintain minimum insurance coverage
✔ Register with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs

However, many reputable moving companies wanted to go further to eliminate dishonest operators and restore consumer confidence. In response, a group of industry leaders formed the New Jersey Warehouse & Movers Association (NJWMA)—an organization dedicated to upholding ethical business practices, safety, and regulatory compliance.
