A. Santini Moving & Storage
A. Santini Moving & Storage files from Dayton, New Jersey. The federal registrant is a New Jersey storage corporation trading under the Santini moving name, with sixteen power units and six drivers on the federal file. A second registration in the same name is carried on the federal file as inactive and shares the company's published telephone number; that shared number is a real bridge, but no corporate filing establishing the relationship was read, so the registration is disclosed as related and unresolved and nothing about succession or ownership is asserted. The exact operating-authority classes on the active registration were not readable in the sources reviewed. No current federal safety rating is on file; an old compliance review date exists and is not published as a rating. The company's own history wording is relative, so no founding year is stored.
- Best for new jersey and new york households and offices wanting a commercial-capable independent with its own warehouse.
- Interstate (48) coverage.
- One further registration carrying the Santini name is inactive on the federal file and its exact relationship to this company is unresolved.
Atlas Van Lines
Atlas Van Lines books interstate household goods shipments under its own federal registration and handles them locally through affiliated agents. The agent assigned to your origin is a separate business from the van line, so ask which company's crew is scheduled before you sign.
- Best for corporate and government relocations.
- All 50 states coverage; founded 1948.
- The company performing your move is usually a separate agent business rather than the van line itself, so the terms, crew and equipment differ by market and are not set by Atlas.
