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.
Hollander Storage & Moving
Hollander International Storage and Moving Company, Inc. files from the Chicago area, active on the federal census with a household goods cargo entry and a fleet in the mid-forties, and the licensing file returns both common carrier authority and broker authority on the same registration. The two are reported separately on this page rather than merged into one generic authority line, because a shipment moved under the carrier authority and a shipment arranged under the broker authority are different contracts. The company is a United Van Lines agent and also references Mayflower in its service structure; no United or Mayflower corporate identifier is stored on this record. A separately registered person trading under a similar name in New Jersey, and an unrelated Kansas registrant, were reviewed and deliberately not merged here. The business dates itself to 1888.
- Best for chicago-area household and corporate relocations booked with a long-established united van lines agent that holds both carrier and broker authority in its own name.
- All 50 states coverage; founded 1888.
- Interstate line-haul runs in relation to the van line, so the crew, the equipment and the claims route on a long-distance shipment can involve more than one company even though the contract starts here.
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.
