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.
Exodus Moving & Storage
Exodus Moving & Storage files from northern Colorado with twenty-seven power units and seventeen drivers on the federal file, one of the larger owned fleets among independent movers in its region. The address on the federal filing is in Johnstown while the company publishes a Fort Collins base for customers: a filing address and a published headquarters describe different functions, both are recorded as read, and neither is treated as a correction to the other. The federal file carries a satisfactory safety rating dated 24 October 2019 following a compliance review, reported with its date as the dated snapshot it is. The company states first-party that it has operated since 1996.
- Best for northern colorado households moving locally or out of state with an owned fleet rather than brokered capacity.
- Interstate (48) coverage; founded 1996.
- The published customer base is concentrated along the northern Front Range, so service outside that corridor depends on scheduling.
Atlas Van Lines
Atlas Van Lines books interstate household goods shipments under its own federal registration and handles them locally through affiliated agents. The agent assigned to your origin is a separate business from the van line, so ask which company's crew is scheduled before you sign.
- Best for corporate and government relocations.
- All 50 states coverage; founded 1948.
- The company performing your move is usually a separate agent business rather than the van line itself, so the terms, crew and equipment differ by market and are not set by Atlas.
