Reads Moving Systems

Company History Reads Moving Systems, Inc. began its journey in the moving and storage industry in 1937. Based originally in Hatboro, Pennsylvania with just a few trucks, Reads built a strong foundation based on attention to customers’ needs and a commitment to quality service. In 1954, Reads became affiliated with its first major van line. With this carrier relationship, Reads prospered for the next ten years, establishing a reputation nationwide for superior service. In 1964, when approached by Atlas Van Lines, Reads became an agent for the van line. As a result of this 55 years relationship, Reads has maintained a position as one of the top-ranked Atlas agents in terms of sales, hauling capacity, and quality of service. Once a small, home-based business, Reads has evolved into a full-service moving and storage operation with offices in Pennsylvania, Florida, and Georgia.
