Liberty Moving & Storage
Liberty Moving & Storage Co Inc files from 350 Moreland Road in Commack, New York with 20 power units and 20 drivers, a household goods cargo entry, and household goods authority under MC-198104. Unusually for a van-line agent, the company publishes that exact registration in its own site footer alongside its New York state licence, and the published pair matches the federal record, which is the cleanest form of identity evidence this directory records. The company traces its start to 1939 on Liberty Avenue in Jamaica, Queens. Long-distance shipments travel inside the United Van Lines network under that van line's own separate registration.
- Best for new york metropolitan household and corporate moves where the mover's own registration can be checked before booking.
- All 50 states coverage; founded 1939.
- Twenty power units against a tri-state and national offering means much of the long-distance capacity is van-line equipment, and the rating on file dates from a 1988 review.
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.
