National Van Lines has been designated a Pro Mover company by the American Moving & Storage Association.[3] HistoryThe company was begun in 1929 by F.J. McKee, who originally used a single wagon to deliver ice and coal to Chicago-area customers. He eventually branched out his business, moving vaudeville sets for acting troupes as well as individual acts, including Charlie Chaplin. McKee had a fleet of moving trucks.[4] McKee’s son, F.L. McKee, took over the business in 1931, and the company was incorporated in 1934. By 1945, the company was one of only five operators designated to service the entire United States. McKee’s daughter, Maureen Beal, became CEO when he died in 1993 at the age of 91.[5] The company experienced 20% growth every year for five consecutive years when Beal took over.[6] Company overview{{Advert section|date=February 2017}}National Van Lines employs over 140 people in its Broadview headquarters.[5] The company serves an average of 20,000 customers per year and its trucks log approximately 8.5 million miles a year performing residential and commercial moves.[7] Under CEO Maureen Beal, National Van Lines grew from $45 million in revenue when she took over in 1993 to $105 million in 2013. A breast cancer survivor,[8] Beal is a strong advocate for women’s health issues as well as women entrepreneurs. She serves on the Board of Directors of the American Moving & Storage Association,[9] is a Benedictine University trustee[10] and is Chairman of the Board of Directors for Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital.[11] In 2013, Tim Helenthal was selected to serve as President and COO. He began his career in the moving and storage industry in 1994, as Manager of the Total Quality Assurance Program (TQAP) for National's military division. In 2000, he was named Vice President of Agency Services for Military. In 2015, he was elected for a second one-year term to serve as the Vice Chairman of the board of the International Association of Movers (IAM).[12] Recognition and awards

The Experience features a theater and interactive stations that educate students on the impact humans have on various watershed habitats.[17] The company is also an active participant in the Windy City Rubber Ducky Derby, raising funds for Special Olympics Illinois[18] as well as serving as long-time supporters for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.[19] In 2015, National Van Lines teamed up with Move For Hunger, a non-profit organization that partners with the relocation industry to reduce food waste and fight hunger.
