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.
Clark Moving & Storage
Clark Moving & Storage Inc files from 3680 Buffalo Road in Rochester, New York, active on the federal census with 11 power units, nine drivers, general freight and household goods cargo entries and an MCS-150 filed 12 February 2024. The registration is filed as intrastate only for non-hazardous cargo and carries no MC, MX or FF docket. That is a description of what the filing contains, not a finding about the company's right to operate: an intrastate New York operation does not require interstate authority. The company states first-party that it is an agent of Mayflower Transit and has been a Mayflower agency for more than 35 years; Mayflower Transit LLC is a separate registrant and its USDOT number is recorded as a van-line identifier rather than stored on this record. No federal safety rating is on file. A separate Albany-area registrant carrying the Albany form of the name was returned during verification, and with no bridge established it is held as an unresolved same-name candidate rather than attached here. The company's own site states no founding year, so none is published.
- Best for upstate new york household and office moves handled by a long-standing mayflower agency with its own crews.
- Regional coverage.
- The federal registration is filed as intrastate only and carries no MC, MX or FF docket, so an interstate move would be performed under authority this record does not describe.
Allied Van Lines
Allied Van Lines operates one of the largest North American moving networks through agent-affiliates, and offers interstate and international household-goods moving. Full value protection is offered as the paid alternative to the default released value liability, as required of interstate carriers.
- Best for large interstate and international moves.
- All 50 states coverage; founded 1928.
- Pricing skews higher than budget operators; binding estimates require an in-home survey.
