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.

USDOT
125550
Pros
  • Best for corporate and government relocations.
  • All 50 states coverage; founded 1948.
Watch out
  • 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.

Berger Allied is described as best for mid-atlantic interstate; Atlas Van Lines is described as best for corporate and government relocations. Check each company's USDOT record on FMCSA SAFER for authority status and complaint history, then compare binding-not-to-exceed estimates for your own move.
How do Berger Allied and Atlas Van Lines compare on price?
For a typical 2-bedroom interstate move, Berger Allied estimates land around $2,900–$7,100 and Atlas Van Lines estimates land around $3,000–$7,200. Actual quotes depend on weight, distance, service level, date, and availability.
Are Berger Allied and Atlas Van Lines both FMCSA-licensed?
Berger Allied operates under USDOT 125665 and Atlas Van Lines operates under USDOT 125550. Always verify the specific entity quoting your move on FMCSA SAFER before signing an estimate.
How do I check complaints against Berger Allied or Atlas Van Lines?
Look up each company by its USDOT number on FMCSA SAFER, which publishes complaint and crash history for the registered entity, and check the state regulator where the move starts. Ratings published by third parties are not shown here unless the specific profile they came from has been recorded.
What estimate type should I ask for?
For interstate moves, ask for a binding or binding-not-to-exceed estimate after an in-home or video survey. Sight-unseen non-binding interstate quotes are not reliable and tend to grow on delivery day.
