Verdict

Clancy Relocation & Logistics

We do not publish a numeric score for moving companies.

Clancy Moving Systems Inc, trading as Clancy Relocation & Logistics, files from 2963 New York 22 in Patterson, New York, the address on its own site, with 56 power units and 76 drivers on the census and both household goods and general freight cargo entries. The licensing record carries common and broker authority active with household goods and property authority, and the last rating on file is Satisfactory from a 2008 compliance review. The company dates its business to 1921 in Westchester and the Bronx and describes ownership passing through the Clancy family from 1968 and again in 1990. Interstate shipments move inside the United Van Lines network, whose registration belongs to that van line and is not stored on this record.

Best for
Westchester, Hudson Valley and Connecticut moves handled by a large in-house crew rather than subcontracted labor
Main trade-off
The company also holds broker authority, so a shipment can be arranged rather than carried, and the recorded safety rating rests on a compliance review from 2008.

What is Clancy Relocation & Logistics's USDOT number and is its authority active?

The USDOT number of Clancy Relocation & Logistics is 265038. This reflects the federal record as of 2026-08-17.

Is Clancy Relocation & Logistics the same company as United Van Lines?

No. Clancy Relocation & Logistics operates as an agent of United Van Lines, which is a separate company with its own federal registration, USDOT 077949. 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 265038, 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 Clancy Relocation & Logistics licensed to move within New York?

For a move that stays inside New York, movers are authorised by New York State Department of Transportation, Office of Modal Safety and Security, part of the New York State Department of Transportation, and the agency does not publish a single name for that authorisation on the pages we read. The agency publishes no public lookup; it verifies authorisation by phone on 518-457-6512. We have not verified Clancy Relocation & Logistics's New York authorisation, and nothing here says it lacks one. Holding federal interstate authority is a separate thing from holding state authorisation for a move that starts and ends inside one state.

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.

Clancy Relocation & Logistics in one paragraph

Clancy Relocation & Logistics has been operating since 1921 (about 105 years), runs out of Patterson, NY, and covers all 50 states. Current FMCSA filing shows USDOT 265038 and MC 076840. Clancy Moving Systems Inc, trading as Clancy Relocation & Logistics, files from 2963 New York 22 in Patterson, New York, the address on its own site, with 56 power units and 76 drivers on the census and both household goods and general freight cargo entries. The licensing record carries common and broker authority active with household goods and property authority, and the last rating on file is Satisfactory from a 2008 compliance review. The company dates its business to 1921 in Westchester and the Bronx and describes ownership passing through the Clancy family from 1968 and again in 1990. Interstate shipments move inside the United Van Lines network, whose registration belongs to that van line and is not stored on this record.

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, Clancy Relocation & Logistics 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 Clancy Relocation & Logistics 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

Westchester, Hudson Valley and Connecticut moves handled by a large in-house crew rather than subcontracted labor. That is an editorial view of fit, not a measured performance result: we hold no complaint-rate, claims-outcome or satisfaction dataset for Clancy Relocation & Logistics. 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 Clancy Relocation & Logistics. 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.

What this page does and does not say

We publish no numeric score, star rating or ranked order for Clancy Relocation & Logistics, and we recommend no company over another. What this page carries is the federal registration record above and the sourced facts beside it. Read those, then price the same written inventory with one alternative before you sign.
