St. Louis – Feb. 9, 2024 – UniGroup, the parent company of United Van Lines and Mayflower Transit, and Total Military Management (TMM) have formed a strategic alliance, bringing together TMM’s expertise in military move management and UniGroup’s position as the nation’s largest household goods moving company.
The newly formed strategic alliance represents a significant transportation industry partnership between two recognized leaders who provide high-quality move experiences for our service members and their families. While TMM has maintained some long-standing business relationships with agents in our network, this new alliance with UniGroup delivers substantial network volume to United Van Lines and Mayflower Transit and provides increased capacity to TMM.
TMM is based in Jacksonville, Florida, and was founded with a specific focus on enabling Department of Defense qualified transportation service providers to better serve the military marketplace. The new alliance includes UniGroup transitioning the move management aspect of its domestic military shipments to TMM, which allows UniGroup’s expert member network to focus on providing seamless on-site move services and transportation of goods.
“While this new collaboration between UniGroup and TMM is mutually beneficial for both of our companies, I am excited by the positive impact it will have on the moving experiences for members of our armed forces,” UniGroup President and CEO Jason Mills said. “The strategic alliance between UniGroup and TMM leverages the strengths of each entity, combining TMM’s expertise and commitment to high-quality military move management and UniGroup’s trusted quality service and expertise in household goods relocation.”
The synergies between both companies pave the way for additional growth.
“This partnership creates a deeper and more efficient working relationship between TMM and UniGroup,” TMM CEO Matt Connell said. “The already existing synergies between these industry leaders will enhance the relocation experience of our service members through higher quality and increased capacity. TMM is humbled to have this opportunity and excited for the growth of both organizations.”
