[Wheaton](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0007vmt/wheaton-van-lines) | Bekins completed the video shoot for an episode of Public Television's All Access mini-documentary series this month, with the episode scheduled to air in 2027. The Indianapolis van line was chosen for the series this summer, according to [Aktien](https://www.wallstreet-online.de/nachricht/21589767-wheaton-bekins-shoots-mini-documentary-to-inform-seniors). Wheaton | Bekins is the fourth-largest household goods carrier in the United States.

## Inside the All Access Episode

The series examines challenges affecting communities nationwide, and the Wheaton | Bekins installment focuses on moving fraud, which the company says claims thousands of American victims each year. Older adults are more vulnerable to that fraud, and the company aims to show them red flags to watch for when selecting a mover.

"My hope is that after older adults see our episode of All Access they feel more confident in choosing a mover," said Jim Gaw, Wheaton | Bekins President & CEO. Gaw said he listed large deposits, blank contracts and non-visual surveys as warning signs during his Friday interview for the shoot.

Senior move managers at the National Association of Senior Move Managers contributed input to the Silver Certified program, which the van line created in 2019 to prepare its network of 300+ interstate agents to serve older adult customers. The company says the episode lets it present that certification nationally. Kyle Patz, Wheaton | Bekins CFO, said moving is a major milestone that can be especially emotional for older adults.

"Our goal is to become the world's premiere transportation company by offering the best customer experience at a reasonable price," Patz said. He said the company hopes the All Access feature helps its Silver Certified program reach more of the people it wants to help.

## Wheaton's Agent Network and Senior Services

Wheaton | Bekins is a privately held, Indianapolis-based interstate household goods moving van line founded in 1945, operating through a nationwide network of 300+ independently owned agents covering 95% of the U.S., according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data).
