Verdict

Bailey's Moving & Storage

We do not publish a numeric score for moving companies.

The operating registrant behind the Bailey's brand today is Baileys Consolidated Services LLC at 400 N 700 W in North Salt Lake, carrying the DBA Baileys Moving & Storage LLC, with 55 power units and 101 drivers and common authority active. Readers who look the brand up elsewhere may still find the older Bailey's Holding Company registration at the same address; that entity's census status is inactive and its docket is no longer active, so it is recorded here as superseded rather than shown as current. The company states it was founded in Orem, Utah in 1952 by Cliff Bailey. Interstate moves run inside the Allied Van Lines network, and Allied's registration belongs to Allied, not to Bailey's.

Best for
Utah and Colorado moves handled by a large regional crew inside a national van-line network
Main trade-off
The current registration was added to the census in 2024 and carries property rather than household goods authority on the licensing record, so interstate household shipments rely on the Allied network's authority.

What is Bailey's Moving & Storage's USDOT number and is its authority active?

The USDOT number of Bailey's Moving & Storage is 4205683. This reflects the federal record as of 2026-08-16.

Is Bailey's Moving & Storage the same company as Allied Van Lines?

No. Bailey's Moving & Storage operates as an agent of Allied Van Lines, which is a separate company with its own federal registration, USDOT 076235. The van line's number appears in agent branding and interstate notices, not as this company's own registration. The record that belongs to the company itself is USDOT 4205683, and that is the one we publish above.

The distinction matters when you check a mover. A van line's safety history, fleet size and insurance filings describe the van line. They say nothing about the agent that will pack your home, load the truck and hold your contract.

Is Bailey's Moving & Storage licensed to move within Utah?

Utah's own agency domains carry neither an authorisation written for household goods movers nor a rule about what a mover may charge for a move inside Utah. UDOT's Motor Carrier Division publishes intrastate registration, fuel tax, size and weight permitting and safety credentials, and names no household goods credential among them. The Motor Carrier Safety Act at Utah Code Title 72 Chapter 9 does not use the term household goods at all. The Division of Consumer Protection registers a long list of named trades and movers are not one of them. The search is complete against these domains; nothing on them speaks to a mover authorisation or a mover's rates either way. On that basis we name no Utah licence for Bailey's Moving & Storage and we have not verified its state authorisation; the absence of a published requirement is not evidence that the company lacks one. Holding federal interstate authority is a separate thing from holding state authorisation for a move that starts and ends inside one state.

What is Bailey's Moving & Storage's USDOT number?

Bailey's Moving & Storage carries USDOT number 4205683 and docket number MC-1623239 on the FMCSA company census file. The registered legal name is BAILEYS CONSOLIDATED SERVICES LLC. The filed physical address is 400 N 700 W, North Salt Lake, UT 84054. The registration covers interstate operations. The census records the operation classification for Bailey's Moving & Storage as authorized for hire.

How big is Bailey's Moving & Storage's fleet?

Bailey's Moving & Storage reports 55 power units and 101 drivers on its federal registration. Power units count trucks, tractors and other self-powered vehicles the company operates, not trailers. Bailey's Moving & Storage last updated that federal registration on February 27, 2026, so the counts describe the fleet as filed on that date rather than today.

Does Bailey's Moving & Storage have a federal safety rating?

Bailey's Moving & Storage has no federal safety rating on its census record. Most interstate carriers have never had a compliance review, and a rating is only assigned after one, so the absence of a rating is not a negative signal about Bailey's Moving & Storage. It means no rating review has been recorded, and the other federal registration details remain the material check.

Is Bailey's Moving & Storage a carrier, a broker, or both?

Bailey's Moving & Storage holds motor carrier authority on its federal licensing record and does not hold property broker authority. Carrier authority means Bailey's Moving & Storage is licensed to perform moves with its own trucks and crews rather than arrange them through another company. The crew that arrives on moving day works under this authority, and Bailey's Moving & Storage carries the federal liability for the shipment. The licensing record for Bailey's Moving & Storage shows property authority, and no household goods authority, no broker authority.

Is Bailey's Moving & Storage authorised to move household goods?

Bailey's Moving & Storage does not hold active household goods authority on its federal licensing record. The licensing file shows authority for Bailey's Moving & Storage in other categories rather than in household goods. This is a statement about the federal licence only. It does not describe intrastate work, which states license separately, and it does not describe any company that Bailey's Moving & Storage may work with.

How much can a mover charge above a non-binding estimate?

On an interstate move priced with a non-binding estimate, a mover may require no more than 110% of the estimated charges before it will release your goods at delivery. That cap is set by 49 CFR 375.407, and it applies to the mover you hire regardless of what the final weight turns out to be. Anything owed above that amount is not payable on delivery day: the mover must bill you for it, and you have 30 days from delivery to pay it under 49 CFR 375.407.

Source: 49 CFR 375.407, eCFR

What is a mover liable for if my belongings are damaged?

Every interstate mover must offer released value, the no-extra-charge level of liability set by 49 CFR 375.701. Under released value the mover owes 60 cents per pound per article, so a claim is settled on what a damaged item weighs rather than on what it is worth. A heavy item pays out more than a light expensive one. The alternative is full value protection, which a mover must also offer, costs extra, and settles at repair, replacement, or a cash equivalent. Released value applies by default if you sign nothing else.

Bailey's Moving & Storage in one paragraph

Bailey's Moving & Storage has been operating since 1952 (about 74 years), runs out of North Salt Lake, UT, and covers all 50 states. Current FMCSA filing shows USDOT 4205683 and MC 1623239. The operating registrant behind the Bailey's brand today is Baileys Consolidated Services LLC at 400 N 700 W in North Salt Lake, carrying the DBA Baileys Moving & Storage LLC, with 55 power units and 101 drivers and common authority active. Readers who look the brand up elsewhere may still find the older Bailey's Holding Company registration at the same address; that entity's census status is inactive and its docket is no longer active, so it is recorded here as superseded rather than shown as current. The company states it was founded in Orem, Utah in 1952 by Cliff Bailey. Interstate moves run inside the Allied Van Lines network, and Allied's registration belongs to Allied, not to Bailey's.

Estimated cost of a move with this carrier

This is an estimated quote range, not a record of prices paid. For a 2-bedroom interstate move, Bailey's Moving & Storage quotes generally land in the $2,200–$6,000 range, with the midpoint of that estimated range near $4,100. The low end of that range usually applies to off-season runs under 1,000 miles with self-packing; the high end shows up on full-service summer moves over 2,000 miles.

Local hourly pricing through Bailey's Moving & Storage is not published by the company and we hold no rate card for it. Our national editorial estimate for a two-mover crew and a truck on a local move is $105 to $155 an hour, May 2026, and it is a model figure rather than a quote from this carrier. Ask whether travel time, fuel surcharge, and stair fees sit inside or outside the hourly number, because that is where two apparently identical quotes diverge.

Where this carrier may fit

Utah and Colorado moves handled by a large regional crew inside a national van-line network. That is an editorial view of fit, not a measured performance result: we hold no complaint-rate, claims-outcome or satisfaction dataset for Bailey's Moving & Storage. Three things make any move with this company more predictable, whatever the carrier: an inventory list locked in two or more weeks ahead, a binding not-to-exceed estimate in writing, and a destination ZIP the company services directly rather than through a subcontracted agent.

How to work around the main trade-off

The trade-off summarised at the top of this page is the one that most often costs readers money with Bailey's Moving & Storage. Two questions defuse it at quote stage: ask for the specific line items that drive the number up on your move profile, and ask whether the crew at your origin is employed directly or subcontracted to a local agent.

Then price the same inventory with one alternative below. A second quote on identical inventory is the only reliable way to tell whether the premium buys you anything on your particular lane.

Booking process, step by step

  • Request a quote with a complete inventory list. Online forms are fine for a first pass; a video survey is what makes a binding number stick.
  • Insist on binding-not-to-exceed in writing. Federal rules let a carrier collect up to 110% of a non-binding estimate at delivery, with the balance billed later; a binding not-to-exceed estimate removes that exposure.
  • Confirm valuation coverage. Released value (the federal default) pays $0.60 per pound. Full-value protection costs more but actually replaces a damaged TV.
  • Confirm pickup and delivery windows. For interstate jobs the delivery window is a range, not a date — plan accordingly.
  • On move day, walk the truck and check the inventory list before signing the Bill of Lading. Note any pre-existing damage on the form.
