Julie Johnson
Johnson Storage & Moving Co. is pleased to announce that Julie Johnson has been named President of the 2011-2012 Rocky Mountain Relocation Council (RMRC) Board.
The RMRC is a not-for-profit association of relocation professionals concerned with “relocation trends and issues and the increase in the general awareness of relocation as a profession.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the Board as Vice President and now I look forward to a busy year as President. In addition to planning our Conferences & Networking Nights, our goal this year is to increase our corporate membership base,” said Johnson.
Johnson has held the position of Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Johnson Storage & Moving Co. from 1998 to present. Her term on the RMRC Board expires in 2013.
For more than 100 years, the Johnson family has been in the transportation business. The firm is now owned and operated by fourth generation family members; Mark Johnson & Jim Johnson. Since its founding in Denver in 1900, the company has expanded to ten locations in five states.
In this festive holiday season, we thought it would be fun to finally “give that bear a name” and we invite all of you to join the contest!
Background:
The Johnson teddy bear logo was created in the 80’s by one of the Johnson family members as a symbol of our care in moving families’ most prized possessions, including teddy bears! The bear has gained a following over the years and we frequently receive comments about how cute it is, or how much it reminds people of home, etc. We also have a lot of people comment “oh yeah, you’re the guys with the bear on the trucks” which makes us smile.
More recently, the bear has taken on a life of its own, and morphed into different characters as we expand into different businesses. We now have the International Bear (holding a globe); a commercial bear (suit and tie of course); a records management bear (swimming in documents); and many others. This bear is on the move (literally) and experiences all kinds of adventures transporting and delivering goods across the globe.
How the Contest Works:
Suggest a name for the bear along with an explanation of how the name ties-in to the bear’s moving adventures by sending an email to dhindman@johnson-united.com Also remember to post your suggestion on our Facebook wall https://www.facebook.com/JohnsonStorage The winning entry (or entries if it’s a tie) will receive $50.00 along with bragging rights on the JSM website and social media (collective prize capped at $250.00).
Thanks for your participation and good luck!

Boxes, packing, storage…moving lingo we’re all familiar with, but what about IRR surcharge, weight additive and storage-in-transit? United Van Lines offers a list of moving terms along with definitions so you aren’t left scratching your head come moving time. For example, as mentioned above:
Insurance-related general increase (IRR surcharge)
• The carrier’s tariff provides for a percentage adjustment to the transportation charge (and SIT Pickup and Delivery) to aid in the recovery of the increased cost of carrier’s and van operator’s liability insurance expenses.
Weight additive
• Some articles included in a shipment (i.e., camper shells, boats, canoes, boat trailers, etc.) are comparatively light and occupy space in the van that is not commensurate with their weight. For instance, one might load 4,000 pounds of furniture and cartons in the space taken by a 1,500-pound boat. To compensate for this inequity, our tariff provides a schedule of additional weights for such articles.
Storage-in-Transit (SIT)
• The temporary storage of your household goods in the warehouse of the carrier’s agent, pending further transportation at a later date. SIT service may not exceed a total of 180 calendar days. After 180 days, the interstate nature of the shipment ends and is converted to the rules of the local warehouseman.
