Legal name, entity status, operating authority, fleet counts and safety rating come from the FMCSA motor carrier census and licensing files, and appear only where the identifier on the federal record matched the company record on this page. Where a row is absent for one company, this site holds no verified federal value for it.

Bailey's Moving & Storage

The operating registrant behind the Bailey's brand today is Baileys Consolidated Services LLC at 400 N 700 W in North Salt Lake, carrying the DBA Baileys Moving & Storage LLC, with 55 power units and 101 drivers and common authority active. Readers who look the brand up elsewhere may still find the older Bailey's Holding Company registration at the same address; that entity's census status is inactive and its docket is no longer active, so it is recorded here as superseded rather than shown as current. The company states it was founded in Orem, Utah in 1952 by Cliff Bailey. Interstate moves run inside the Allied Van Lines network, and Allied's registration belongs to Allied, not to Bailey's.

Pros
  • Best for utah and colorado moves handled by a large regional crew inside a national van-line network.
  • All 50 states coverage; founded 1952.
Watch out
  • The current registration was added to the census in 2024 and carries property rather than household goods authority on the licensing record, so interstate household shipments rely on the Allied network's authority.

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.

Pros

How do I check complaints against Bailey's Moving & Storage or Atlas Van Lines?
