Robert Vann
Robert is President and founder of American Way Van & Storage Inc. Robert started his moving career in 1978 as a local mover with a large local moving company. Robert then went on to driving and relocating customers for the number one carrier at that time. Robert logged over a million and half miles and relocated several thousand families during this time. Robert and his wife Diana had three children during this period and in 1989 Robert decided being away from the family for such long periods of time relocating families was not something he wanted to do anymore. Robert stated his children were growing up and he was missing those precious moments. Robert and Diana started American Way Van & Storage on a shoe string budget and two trucks but had a goal to make it one of the largest movers in the Ohio area. When starting American Way in 1989 Robert and Diana knew they needed a carrier that related to the values and mission statements established by American Way Van & Storage. There was only one carrier who fit the requirements of understanding that we are relocating families and not just furniture. That carrier was National Van Lines. A relationship was established and is still in place today. Robert has taken his and Diana’s goal of making their company one of the largest in Ohio and turned that goal into a reality. Today American Way Van & Storage has 35 trucks in its fleet and has achieved every award that is available in the industry not once but numerous times. This has been under the leadership of Robert and he is proud to state this is only the beginning.
