JK MOVING SERVICES “WALKS THE WALK,” AGAIN!
November 18—20, 2025, Madison, MS. – Chuck Kuhn, Founder & CEO, JK MOVING SERVICES, recently said in a LinkedIn post that he is proud that JK has grown every year to become the largest independently owned moving company in the USA. He added that his goal was never to be the biggest, merely the best. He thanked his employees, his customers, his partners, and his family for making his success possible.
To strengthen JK’s commitment to excellence, David Cox, President of JK Moving Services, sent his recently hired commercial management team to the International Office Moving Institute’s (IOMI®) Mississippi compound for three days of office moving training. “Students,” Charlie Grandfield, JK’s Senior Vice President of Sales & Business Development, and Hunter Kearns, Vice President of New Business Development, have had very successful careers in leadership, coaching, sales, and training at their former employer, Cintas. To ensure they provide a consistently high level of service, JK has enrolled in IOMI’s online seminar, too, which provides unlimited ongoing training for all their employees, including those who do the actual moves.
Both Charlie and Hunter were gracious students (and guests). Hunter said in an email, “I wanted to thank you again for the training and the hospitality this week. Charlie and I plan on implementing the skills you taught us to make us better sales professionals.” It’s students like them who make this (very) old man jump out of bed each morning.

The International Office Moving Institute (IOMI®) is not an alliance, a trade association, or a moving company, but an independent, unbiased office moving resource and training organization beholden to no one. We accept no advertising. The links from within our pages to other web sites are reciprocal.
For more than a decade, many in the moving industry and companies planning a move have come to rely on officemoves.com as a steadfast source of best practices. We advocate, and through the International Office Moving Institute (IOMI®), teach:
• Minimizing the risk of damage to walls, floors, doors and elevators during your move. IOMI® Certified Office Movers® and Certified Project Managers® learn the best practice methods for installing extensive building protection.
• Minimizing the risk of damage to furniture and computers during your move. IOMI® Certified Office Movers® and Certified Project Managers® learn the best-practice methods for wrapping every monitor, printer, CPU, server, and copier with two layers of anti-static bubble wrap (with the bubbles facing the bubbles) instead of pad-wrapping computers with filthy furniture pads.
• Timing is of the essence on your office move. If your mover doesn’t finish the job on time, it can cost your company thousands of dollars of nonproductive downtime. IOMI® Certified Office Movers® and Certified Project Managers® learn an estimating formula that’s based upon man-hours instead of the unreliable method typically used on household moves that’s based on weight.
The IOMI® proprietary estimating formula is uncannily accurate because it factors in not only volume but the unique logistics of both the building you’re moving from and to.
Why hire an IOMI®
Certified Office Mover®?
1. On time for the price quoted
One of the biggest complaints about movers is that they often badly underestimate the cost of a move and then don’t finish on time. An International Office Moving Institute (IOMI®)-trained mover learns a formula for accurately estimating cost. By calculating the number of trucks and movers for how long, IOMI® Certified Office Movers® can base estimates on man-hours, volume, and logistics, and not weight, which household movers typically use when quoting an office move. As a result, the chances of a move completing on time for the price quoted is greatly improved.
2. Minimize risk of damage
IOMI® Certified Office Movers® learn the latest techniques to minimize risk of damage to furniture and computers, and are trained in extensive building protection to minimize risk of damage to carpet, walls, doors, and door jambs.
3. Minimize downtime
There is a better way! IOMI® Certified Office Movers® understand that their customers can’t afford to shut down operations during a move, and are trained in techniques to keep client employees working. Many IOMI® graduates offer the “boxless” move — moving the contents in the furniture instead of the contents and the furniture.
