VIP Transport inc
From a Simple Move to Highly Specialized Logistics
VIP’s story begins with a college student, studying for his Master’s Degree in Psychology. While taking classes in the evening, Dan Griffiths also worked at a local moving and storage company during the day.
During his time here, he handled the local and long distance operations in addition to assisting the company with building their fleet. Dan thrived on solving problems and creating solutions for customers who did not always have standard moving requirements. His passion for assisting customers helped grow new opportunities and solve tricky transportation problems.
In 1986, VIP established itself in Jessup, Maryland. This was another creative solution to a problem – they could now support East Coast operations for its customers, and create backhaul solutions for VIP’s growing fleet.
In 1990, the University of California approached VIP about a unique transportation request. Until then, laboratory specimens could only be transported using dry ice, an unstable method often resulting in loss of part of the research. VIP configured a customized trailer that allowed a freezer to remain operational and under power in transit, eliminating the need for dry ice.

How do I get an estimate?
Once you have compiled a list of movers, inform them of the destination and timing of your
move. Ask them about the types of services they offer. Also ask them to explain their
estimates in detail and to give you a copy. If any company refuses to give you a written
estimate, you should eliminate them from consideration. Then carefully compare to see which
mover best suits your needs and budget.
The cost of your move will be based on the actual weight of your belongings and the distance
they are shipped, plus the amount of packing and other services that you require.
To help you anticipate the cost of your move, movers will give you an estimate of the price.
Be sure to get written estimates from at least 3 different movers so that you can compare
their services and prices.
Should I have the mover come to my home to look at my goods?
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.
