Coleman Worldwide Moving is described as best for military and government relocations, where the paperwork discipline is the differentiator; 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.

For a typical 2-bedroom interstate move, Coleman Worldwide Moving estimates land around $2,900–$6,900 and Allied Van Lines estimates land around $3,200–$7,500. Actual quotes depend on weight, distance, service level, date, and availability.
Are Coleman Worldwide Moving and Allied Van Lines both FMCSA-licensed?
Coleman Worldwide Moving operates under USDOT 2897746 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 Coleman Worldwide Moving 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.
