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.
Divine Moving & Storage
Divine Moving & Storage files as a single federal registrant serving New York City. The address on the federal filing is in the Bronx while the company publishes a Manhattan base for customers: a filing address and a published headquarters describe different things, both are recorded as read, and neither is treated as a correction to the other. No federal safety rating is on file, which is neither a positive nor a negative signal. On founding, the company's own material states more than thirty years of service rather than a year. A relative claim of that kind does not establish a specific founding year, so no exact year is stored or published in fact tables, page metadata or structured data; the relative claim is shown as a first-party statement with attribution and is not converted into a date.
- Best for manhattan apartment and small-office moves where building certificates of insurance and tight loading windows are the constraint.
- Interstate (48) coverage.
- The company publishes its history in relative terms only, so no verified founding year is available for this record.
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.
