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.
George Moving & Storage
George Moving & Storage, Inc. files from Tri County Drive in Freedom, Pennsylvania, active on the federal census with household goods and general freight cargo entries, thirty-two power units, twenty-three drivers, a current MCS-150 filing and docket MC-158885 on the registration. The filed contact email uses the company's own domain and the company's own site publishes the same USDOT and docket numbers, so registrant and brand agree from two directions. The licensing record shows active common carrier authority with property and household goods checked; broker and contract carrier authority are not carried on this docket. A second Pennsylvania registration under a near-identical name carries the same docket number on its census row; it is disclosed separately as a related registration with the relationship recorded as unresolved, and it is not called a predecessor, a former registration, a superseded filing or a sibling. The company is a northAmerican Van Lines agent; the van line holds its own separate registration and no van-line identifier is stored on this record. The Ohio PUCO number and the Pennsylvania PUC number the site publishes are state identifiers and are not recorded as federal registrations. No federal safety rating was located for this registration in the records reviewed. The company states it has operated since 1975.
- Best for pittsburgh-area household and commercial relocations handled by a registrant that files its own household goods registration and hauls interstate through the northamerican network.
- All 50 states coverage; founded 1975.
- No federal safety rating was located for this registration, so there is no compliance-review result to read either way when comparing the company against a rated carrier.
United Van Lines
United Van Lines is the largest brand under UniGroup and publishes the annual National Movers Study. It offers shipment tracking and a published claims process; we hold no dataset that compares its claims outcomes with other carriers.
- Best for long-distance moves with full packing.
- All 50 states coverage; founded 1928.
- Quotes are non-binding by default unless you specifically request a binding estimate.
