History
J.H. Bennett has always been able to service the local Erie Community and the surrounding region. However, in 1964 an alliance was forged with United Van Lines. This single event enabled a well-known local resource to achieve a national and international reach. When it comes to moving and storage, J.H. Bennett still holds the largest market share in Erie, PA. Likewise, United Van Lines continues to hold the largest market share nationwide.
“When my grandfather started this company in 1914, household moves were accomplished with a cart and a team of horses. While the mechanics of business practices have changed dramatically throughout the past 90 years, the basic premise of providing genuine customer service has not.”
– J. Gordon Naughton, Former Company President
