What Worldwide Moving Systems does

Worldwide Moving Systems is a family-owned logistics and supply chain company headquartered in Waldorf, Maryland, operating under legal entity A-Whisco Inc. since its 1973 founding by Toni Jones. The company delivers full-service residential and commercial moving, storage, and logistics services to customers across Maryland, Washington DC, and Northern Virginia, with extended reach to interstate and international destinations via a network of vetted freight forwarders and delivery agents. It is federally authorized (USDOT# 230034, MC# 271035) and ProMover-certified by the American Moving & Storage Association.

The company's product portfolio spans core moving services (local, long-distance, cross-country, interstate, international, and office/commercial moves) and add-on offerings including professional packing, crating and freight, mobile storage (Space/Ships containers in 12' and 16' sizes), and warehouse storage across a 50,000+ square foot facility. Logistics & Distribution services extend the offering into B2B product distribution, overnight delivery along the Eastern Seaboard, store fixture and restaurant equipment delivery, and will-call distribution.

The business model is primarily transaction-based — hourly billing for local moves, weight-based billing for interstate moves, and recurring revenue from storage subscriptions — with a direct-to-consumer go-to-market approach executed through phone sales, website free-estimate forms, in-home estimates, and a network of realtor referrals. Customers are predominantly individual residential households (including US Military households, a historical specialty), with a secondary commercial segment serving offices, restaurants, and retail businesses. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the company operates at a small scale (11-50 employees). The company maintains no external investment, has no parent company, and remains under family control.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Allied Van Lines: Major national/international household goods van line with agent network. Comparable on interstate and international moves and AMSA membership, but operates as a broad incumbent with nationwide logistics infrastructure rather than a regional specialist.
• United Van Lines (UniGroup): Major national household goods carrier serving interstate and international moves. Comparable in long-distance and international service categories, plus AMSA membership; competes via agent network rather than direct fleet.
• North American Van Lines: Large national/international household goods van line operating through an agent network. Comparable on interstate, international, and military household goods service lines, with substantially broader geographic coverage.
• Atlas Van Lines: National household goods and logistics carrier with agent network. Comparable on interstate and international moves and AMSA membership, competing as part of broader industry incumbents.

Direct peers

• PODS: National portable storage container company offering 12' and 16' containers — directly comparable to Worldwide Moving's Space/Ships mobile storage offering. Competes in the storage-plus-moving bundle that anchors Worldwide's recurring revenue.
• JK Moving Services: Maryland-headquartered full-service moving and storage company (headquartered in Sterling, VA / founded in MD) offering local, long-distance, international, and commercial moves plus storage. Closest direct peer in geography, service mix, and federal/military customer exposure.
• Gentle Giant Moving Company: Regional full-service moving company (founded and headquartered in the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic) offering local, long-distance, and storage services. Comparable in regional mid-market positioning, service mix, and customer segment.
• Two Men and a Truck: Largest franchised local moving company in North America offering residential and commercial local moves, packing, and storage. Comparable in service portfolio (local moves + storage) and customer segment (residential/SMB), at significantly larger scale.

Emerging players

• Bellhop: Tech-enabled moving platform offering instant online booking, real-time tracking, and local/long-distance move coordination. Comparable end-customer (residential movers), but distinguished by a digital-first model and aggregator-style labor sourcing that competes with traditional operators.

Others

• 1-800-GOT-JUNK?: National junk removal and hauling franchise operating with a similar multi-truck, residential/SMB service model and franchise-style scaling. Comparable in moving-adjacent hauling/logistics execution and customer overlap, though not a direct household goods mover.
