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.
Redman Van & Storage
Redman Van & Storage files its own federal registration from Salt Lake City, Utah, and that registration is the primary federal identifier for this company. No current MC docket was located on the federal record reviewed. That is a statement about the records read and nothing more: no docket is guessed, none circulating in secondary listings is stored, and nothing here is a finding that the company lacks authority to operate. The company states first-party that it is a northAmerican Van Lines agent, and the northAmerican agency number 070851 is recorded as a van-line identifier belonging to the relationship rather than as a federal registration of this company. No federal safety rating is on file, which is neither a positive nor a negative signal. The company states first-party that it was founded in 1891.
- Best for utah household and commercial relocations handled by one of the oldest continuously operating movers in the intermountain west.
- Interstate (48) coverage; founded 1891.
- No current MC docket was located on the federal record reviewed, so a reader who wants to confirm interstate operating authority should ask the company for the docket in force at the time of booking.
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.
