College Bound Movers
College Bound Movers LLC files from Continental Boulevard in Merrimack, New Hampshire, active on the federal census with a household goods classification, four power units, nine drivers and docket MC-301665 on the registration. The filed contact email uses the company's own domain and the company publishes the same registration and docket numbers itself, so the consumer-facing brand and the federal registrant are the same identity read from two sources. No van-line affiliation was established in research and none is asserted here. FMCSA safety rating on file: Satisfactory, dated 7 March 2008, following a compliance review dated 5 March 2008; that is a dated federal snapshot and not a current safety score or a recommendation. The company states it has moved New Hampshire and New England since 1991.
- Best for new hampshire and new england household moves booked directly with a small owner-run carrier holding its own household goods registration.
- Regional coverage; founded 1991.
- Four power units and nine drivers is a small operation, so peak-season availability is limited and a long-distance date may be harder to secure than with a national carrier.
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.
