A & W Transfer & Storage is a fourth-generation family-owned and operated moving and storage company. Owner Pam Matheson Gonzalez grew up in the moving business, as her parents and grandparents founded the company back in the 1950s. She now works alongside her son, Brandon Gonzalez, Vice President of A & W. The Amarillo business is able to offer superior service because of its experienced people and its focus on relationships.
"I've always had a great team that works really, really hard. We still believe in customer service, and I always believe in taking care of my people," said Pam Matheson Gonzalez. "I believe in what we do. We hold the grandmother's hand; we hold the widow's hand. We walk the young family through this who are scared to death."
