Description

Shaheen Moving & Storage Services is the new name for Peoples Movers, Peoples Cartage and S & H Group. Shaheen Moving & Storage Services was formed in June of 2002 when Sam Shaheen purchased the household goods moving division of Peoples Cartage, Incorporated in the Akron/Canton Area. Peoples Cartage, Incorporated was a well-known and long time moving and storage company that started in Massillon, Ohio with roots to 1914. It organized under the Peoples Cartage name in 1933 and has been serving the Massillon and Canton communities as the local representative of Mayflower Transit, LLC. Mayflower is the oldest and best-known moving van lines in the country, and we are one of the oldest agencies in the Mayflower system (since 1933). Mr. Joseph B. Schrader founded the company in 1914. Mr. Schrader was a local blacksmith that began selling farm implements and carriages. His first moving jobs were done with horse and wagon. His family sold the business to Ray L. Sibila in 1947. Mr. Sibila had been in the trucking industry since the early 1930's. Under his management, the company grew rapidly and became a major moving and storage company in the area. He expanded into the Canton market as well. The company has stayed in the Sibila Family's hands since 1947. In 1957, control of the business rested with Ray's son, Ronald R. Sibila. The business flourished under his management, as its corporate client base caused the company to become oriented towards transportation and logistics services. Mr. Sibila also served on the corporate Board of Directors of Mayflower Transit, LLC and is Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Peoples Services, Incorporated Peoples Services operates in a multi-state area that ranges from Ohio to New York to Georgia. S & H Group, Incorporated was formed in the early 1990's to provide moving and storage services under the Mayflower banner in Summit, Medina and Portage Counties. In early 2002, the company decided to divest themselves of household goods moving and storage operations to concentrate on its core corporate business. On June 1, these operations were sold to Samuel F. Shaheen. Shaheen is a 25-year business professional, born in the Canton area. He is a graduate of the University of Akron where he also obtained an MBA. He is active in community events such as the Road Runner Akron Marathon, the Hall of Fame Festival activities including the Hoover Company Grand Parade. He is also the Treasurer of Project: St. Nicholas Returns, a local charity that provides relief to the needy. He resides in Jackson Township with his wife and 2 children. The management and staff have almost 100 years of collective experience.
