Frequently asked questions

Is Expo Movers or Allied Van Lines better in 2026?

Expo Movers is described as best for nyc and east coast interstate; 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.
How do Expo Movers and Allied Van Lines compare on price?
For a typical 2-bedroom interstate move, Expo Movers estimates land around $1,800–$5,500 and Allied Van Lines estimates land around $3,200–$7,500. Actual quotes depend on weight, distance, service level, date, and availability.
Are Expo Movers and Allied Van Lines both FMCSA-licensed?
Expo Movers operates under USDOT 2633612 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 Expo Movers 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.
What estimate type should I ask for?
For interstate moves, ask for a binding or binding-not-to-exceed estimate after an in-home or video survey. Sight-unseen non-binding interstate quotes are not reliable and tend to grow on delivery day.
