Good Greek Moving & Storage Advocates for Veterans and Consumers at Washington Conference

In September 2026, leaders from Good Greek Moving & Storage traveled to Washington D.C. to participate in the American Trucking Associations' Moving & Storage Conference. This significant event brought together industry experts and lawmakers, focusing on crucial issues such as veteran employment, military relocations, and consumer protection against fraudulent moving practices.

At the conference, Good Greek's founder and CEO, Spero Georgedakis, accompanied by key executives including Chief of Staff Anthony Johnson and Director of Business Development John Rourke, engaged in pivotal discussions with White House officials and members of Congress. Notably, both Johnson and Rourke are U.S. Army veterans, contributing their unique military insights to the dialogue, particularly regarding the employment challenges faced by veterans in the moving industry.

One of the primary topics discussed was the Freedom Haulers initiative, a federal program aimed at connecting veterans with career opportunities in trucking. Georgedakis addressed how veterans’ skills such as leadership, discipline, and logistical expertise can translate seamlessly into various roles within the transportation sector. He emphasized the importance of providing meaningful career pathways that honor veterans' service while also enhancing the support structures available for military families undergoing relocations.

During conversations with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino, emphasis was placed on creating sustainable careers in the moving industry for veterans. The initiative aims to facilitate the transition of military driving experience into commercial licenses, featuring expedited pathways for Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDLs), training programs, and apprenticeships. Georgedakis stated, "Veterans bring leadership, discipline, accountability, and a mission-first mindset that are invaluable to our industry. We want to create meaningful pathways for those who have served to build lasting civilian careers."

The conference also highlighted military relocations, an area where Good Greek seeks to raise standards. With over 300,000 service members and their families relocating annually, Good Greek advocates for enhanced accountability and reliability in the moving process. The organization presented its vision for military relocations, proposing an approach that emphasizes careful planning, proactive communication, and clear responsibility from start to finish. **
