For almost 70 years, BW Mitchum has been a leader in customized intermodal and domestic transportation, while still maintaining the core principals you expect from a 3rd generation family business. We pride ourselves on our reliable and personalized customer service. We provide whatever logistical support customers may need in addition to transportation, including warehousing, trans loading, and brokerage services.
History
BW Mitchum was started in 1950. It was started with one truck and one client and through the years has honored the promise our founders made to provide the absolute best in personal service. The company was started by BW Mitchum and Norman Cooper. Since 1990 Ronnie Cooper has taken the helm and has continued to grow and advance the business to over 200 trucks and multiple terminals.

You have the right to receive an estimate based on a physical (in-house) survey of your
shipment. Under the regulations, your mover must base your estimate (either binding,
non-binding, or not-to-exceed), on a physical survey of the household goods to be moved if
the goods are located with a 50-mile radius of your mover’s (or his agent’s) place of business.
You may elect to waive this requirement for a physical survey, but if you elect to do so,
you must sign a written waiver of your rights.
In all likelihood, you will find that an on-site estimate based on a physical survey
of the items that you plan on moving will be more accurate than an estimate that you
provide to your mover over the telephone or the Internet. So, unless circumstances warrant
(normally due to the time constraints of a short-notice move or because you are only shipping
a few items) think carefully before you elect to waive the required physical survey
of your shipment.
