“Edna, just wanted to express my thanks to Campbell Moving for their work in my relocation out west. The whole process was made very easy, and your staff was helpful and courteous in what usually amounts to a stressful situation. The movers today were very quick and professional, which has helped to make this departure a success.”
Doug McCallum the Mover began in the late 1940's. Business was good and in 1951, Doug acquired another local moving company, Dick Best the Mover. This was a keen business move on Doug's part, as it increased his fleet of trucks by two and more importantly, provided a license to operate outside of the City of Hamilton.
Doug's son Bill joined the operation in 1957 at the young age of sixteen. Starting first on the trucks, Bill helped to generate business by securing commercial contracts and increasing residential sales. Regrettably, Doug died before he could see his company expand even further. Under Bill's leadership since 1966, the company joined United Van Lines (Canada) Ltd.
In 2003 Campbell Group of Companies purchased Doug McCallum the Mover and has continued to exceed the expectations of the moving industry. We are a member of United Van Lines, Canada's largest van lines servicing more than 40% of Canadian moves. We are proud to be a member of United Van lines and provide top-of-the-line service. Our experienced and dedicated staff can coordinate your relocation whether it be local, long distance or around the globe.
Doug McCallum the Mover Ltd.
United Van Lines (Canada) Ltd. is a privately held company owned by Canadians. Together, United and its team of Member moving companies provide a seamless network to move you anywhere in Canada, the U.S., or around the globe.
Half a century ago, a few men had a simple dream, to create a Canadian owned van line and stretch it from coast to coast. Today, United Van Lines is Canada’s largest network of moving companies and the only Canadian owned and operated van line. For more than 50 years, we’ve watched Canada grow and as the roads opened, United was there, moving Canadians where life took them.
Although the name United Van Lines is synonymous with household furniture moving, United and our Member companies have the expertise and experience to handle commercial shipments, trade shows and exhibits, office moving, and storage.
In life, few events match the stress of moving. In this busy time of new beginnings and major changes, we appreciate that you place a great deal of trust and responsibility with us. Moving everything you own is a very personal experience and something we don’t take lightly… ever.
United Van Lines Canada is Canada’s largest and best performing van line. The United family consists of 320 qualified moving companies located in various centers across the country.
United handles more than 40% of the Canadian market and has provided moving services to more than 7 million addresses from coast to coast. This year, United Van Lines will move more than 35,000 shipments.
Why do more Canadians trust United Van Lines? Quite simply, United takes better care of its customers and their belongings. United Van Lines is recognized as the industry leader as a result of their consistently superior performance.
United is getting greener and greener! With over 200 Member movers located across Canada, we care about keeping our local communities clean and green for many years to come. We are dedicated to improving our environment by reducing waste and improving efficiency in our daily operations.
United has worked hard to become a paperless work environment. With online systems being implemented, our Member movers and Van Line personnel can enter notes, track a shipment, share information and create online invoices without ever using a sheet of paper. Our customers can even submit information online, such as quality surveys and claims forms when necessary.
Quilted Furniture blankets are used to wrap and protect your possessions when preparing for a move. Once they become unusable for your household items they are used to wrap less valuable items such as lawn and garden tools.
For efficiency and safety, when our long distance Service Fleet tractors and trailers reach a certain mileage they are sold or used for local moving work. Our containers are taken off of the long distance fleet after 15 years and sold to companies and farmers for local storage.
United has a container manufacturing facility where we build and maintain our containers. This facility recycles the wood, steel and cardboard that is used in the manufacturing process.
United and our Members use cartons that contain recycled material, and Kraft packing paper that is 100% recyclable. All of our offices also work hard to recycle paper, cans, bottles, cardboard and toner cartridges.
