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.

Bohren's Moving & Storage

Bohrens Moving and Storage Inc files from Robbinsville, New Jersey, active on the federal census with 19 power units and 23 drivers, and carries docket MC-4368 on the registration. The federal filing records the trade names Bohrens Logistics and Bohrens Fine Art Transportation, both of which sit on this one registration rather than on separate federal companies. The operating-authority presentation read for this registration shows motor carrier of household goods and motor carrier of property authority; the detailed Licensing and Insurance page was unavailable at the time of reading, so nothing further is stated about authority and no broker authority is inferred. No federal safety rating is on file, which is neither a positive nor a negative signal. The company states first-party that it is an agent of United Van Lines; United Van Lines is a separate registrant and any United corporate identifier is recorded as a van-line identifier rather than stored on this record. The company states first-party that it was founded in 1924.

Frequently asked questions

Is Bohren's Moving & Storage or Allied Van Lines better in 2026?
We hold no basis to prefer one over the other. We publish no numeric score for moving companies, and the records we hold for both are the same fields: registration, operating authority, founding year, coverage, and an estimated price range. Bohren's Moving & Storage is described as best for central new jersey households and fine-art or high-value shipments handled by a long-established agency with its own crews; Allied Van Lines is described as best for large interstate and international moves. 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 Bohren's Moving & Storage and Allied Van Lines compare on price?
For a typical 2-bedroom interstate move, Bohren's Moving & Storage estimates land around $1,600–$5,200 and Allied Van Lines estimates land around $3,200–$7,500. Actual quotes depend on weight, distance, service level, date, and availability.
Are Bohren's Moving & Storage and Allied Van Lines both FMCSA-licensed?
Bohren's Moving & Storage operates under USDOT 31912 and Allied Van Lines operates under USDOT 076235. Always verify the specific entity quoting your move on FMCSA SAFER before signing an estimate.
How do I check complaints against Bohren's Moving & Storage or Allied 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.
