IAM’s next Domestic Asset-Based (DAB) Hour Webcast will discuss international shipments and the support/understanding international Transportation Service Providers in the DoD Personal Property Program need from local agents in the U.S. What are the DoD rules that govern international shipments that DABs should know? How are the processes different than a domestic DoD shipment? What are the key international business rules DABs should understand to support international TSPs?

Join IAM’s U.S. DAB as they explore this topic with two international TSPs…Jake Pieroni from Central Van Lines and Don Klein from ALLSTATES Worldwide Movers. The session will be moderated by DAB Management Board member Michael Gonzalez of the Denali Group. Mark you calendars for 21 April at 1:00 pm ET. Engage our panelists directly with any comments or questions, or provide them via the chat function in the webcast.

Participation is free whether you are an IAM member company or not. Join in and learn.

Donald Klein is the President of Allstates Worldwide Movers, Inc. a household goods freight forwarder. While a college student, he started in the industry, 1965 -66, working summers for Burnham World Forwarders, an international freight forwarder, as a documentation clerk. Then, for last two years of college, he worked for Richardson Transfer & Storage, Salina, KS in their Safety & Compliance department.

In 1968, after college was a teacher for the New York City Board of Education for four years at which time he was selected to be the school’s union delegate. During the summers, nights and weekends, he worked for the family business, Allstates Van Lines Corp. As such, he learned many different phases of the moving and storage business. Main function was serving primarily as a back up estimator and preparing required reports for the Interstate Commerce Commission, who regulated the moving industry.
In 1972, he went to work for full time for Allstates Worldwide Movers, Inc., and was eventually promoted to Vice President. During that time, he became very active in the Household Goods Forwarders Association of America, Inc. which is now IAM. He served as a Board member for six years and represented industry in negotiations with the military setting policy in different areas. Always was an advocate for the small forwarder and tried to protect their interests whenever new policies came down. In 2008, was inducted into the IAM Hall of Honor’s first class of sixteen inductees; five of which were alive at the time; a truly humbling honor.

In 1985, he also became president of Allstates Transfer & Storage, Inc. a domestic 48 state van lines, operating thirty trucks operating around the United States. That company was primarily a large COD mover out of the NYC metropolitan area; but, it was also a local DPM contractor at Ft. Hamilton; represented over twenty five TSPs for origin and destination work, did local and corporate moving as well.

From 1996 to 2014 was also president of White Glove Transportation, Inc., a fine furniture warehouse distribution company, operating six warehouses in the NYC metropolitan area, serving the designer and decorator industry doing work for the “rich and famous people”.

Current focus is just on the international military business. In my 56 years in the industry, I have seen many changes and hope to continue to be able to help this industry grow and prosper as we are faced with many new challenges.

Thank you
