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.

- Best for long-distance moves with full packing.
