GET TO KNOW WHEATON FOUNDER,
Earnest S. Wheaton
In 1945, Earnest S. Wheaton founded our moving company, originally named Clipper Van Lines. From our very first move, we were committed to quality. Earnest S. Wheaton was constantly focused on families and the individual customer, and that focus is something the van line strives to continue to this day, nearly 80 years later.
From the van line’s tagline “We move your life” to our 20+ year corporate sponsorship of Give Kids The World Village, Wheaton World Wide Moving lives out the care for our Customers and their families that our founder, Earnest S. Wheaton, began all those years ago.
THE BEKINS STORY
As one of the oldest moving companies in the United States, Bekins Van Lines offers unrivalled expertise and a
commitment to customer service.
Founded by brothers John and Martin Bekins in 1891, Bekins began operations in Sioux City, Iowa, with just three horse-drawn vans and 12 employees. Since then, we’ve grown to become one of the nation’s largest full-service moving and storage companies with more than 350 locations throughout the United States.
