Molloy Moving & Storage
Molloy Bros Trucking Inc, trading as Molloy Moving & Storage, files from 185 Price Parkway in Farmingdale, New York with 33 power units, both household goods and general freight cargo entries, and common and contract authority active under MC-144078 with household goods authority. The company has served New York, New Jersey and Connecticut since 1945; its own About page opens with 1946, so both years appear in the brand's material and the site-wide claim is the one recorded here. The footer also lists the Mayflower Transit registration, which identifies Mayflower and not Molloy, and it is held in the van-line relationship layer instead of on this record.
- Best for long island and tri-state moves handled by an established family carrier with its own fleet.
- All 50 states coverage.
- The census records ten drivers against 33 power units, so seasonal crews carry part of the work, and the footer mixes several licence numbers including the van line's.
Allied Van Lines
Allied Van Lines operates one of the largest North American moving networks through agent-affiliates, and offers interstate and international household-goods moving. Full value protection is offered as the paid alternative to the default released value liability, as required of interstate carriers.
- Best for large interstate and international moves.
- All 50 states coverage; founded 1928.
- Pricing skews higher than budget operators; binding estimates require an in-home survey.
