New Initiatives

S&M Moving Systems and UniGroup are working to develop a nationwide waste hauling and recycling program. This program would give our agents an opportunity to reduce their waste stream and increase recycling of materials through the use of national account vendors.

The S&M Moving Systems and UniGroup home office is currently processing an application to become an EPA Energy Star certified building. We expect the application to be completed in late summer.

While S&M Moving Systems and UniGroup transportation model is different from most carriers, we are investigating ways we can participate in the EPA SmartWay carrier program.
