Verdict

Corrigan Moving Systems

We do not publish a numeric score for moving companies.

Corrigan Moving & Storage Company trades as Corrigan Moving Systems and Premier Relocations, filing from Dearborn, Michigan with 245 power units and 215 drivers on the federal census, an unusually large in-house fleet for a regional agent. The company has been family-owned since 1929 and describes itself as the third largest mover inside the United Van Lines system, so a long-haul leg may be performed by that network rather than by Corrigan directly. Corrigan Moving Systems - New York LLC is a separately registered company and is not covered by the record on this page.

Main trade-off
As a van-line agent, part of a long-distance job may be carried by another agent in the same network, and the New York arm is a separate company from the Michigan one.

What is Corrigan Moving Systems's USDOT number and is its authority active?

The USDOT number of Corrigan Moving Systems is 153343. This reflects the federal record as of 2026-08-15.

Is Corrigan Moving Systems the same company as United Van Lines?

No. Corrigan Moving Systems 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 153343, 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 Corrigan Moving Systems licensed to move within Michigan?

For a move that stays inside Michigan, movers are authorised by Michigan State Police, Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division, Regulatory and Credentialing Section, part of the Michigan State Police, and the authorisation is called CVED Authority, intrastate operating authority for household goods. A consumer can check an individual mover in the agency's own Michigan CVED motor carrier authority search. We have not verified Corrigan Moving Systems's Michigan 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 big is Corrigan Moving Systems's fleet?

Corrigan Moving Systems reports 245 power units and 215 drivers on its federal registration. Power units count trucks, tractors and other self-powered vehicles the company operates, not trailers.

Does Corrigan Moving Systems have a federal safety rating?

Corrigan Moving Systems 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 Corrigan Moving Systems. It means no rating review has been recorded, and the other federal registration details remain the material check.

Is Corrigan Moving Systems a carrier, a broker, or both?

Corrigan Moving Systems holds both motor carrier authority and property broker authority on its federal licensing record. Carrier authority means Corrigan Moving Systems can operate the trucks and crews that perform a move itself. Broker authority means Corrigan Moving Systems can also arrange a move that another licensed company performs. On any given job, ask which of the two applies before you sign, because it decides whose crew arrives on moving day and who is liable for your goods. The licensing record for Corrigan Moving Systems shows household goods authority, property authority, broker authority.

Is Corrigan Moving Systems authorised to move household goods?

Corrigan Moving Systems holds active operating authority covering household goods on its federal licensing record.

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.

Corrigan Moving Systems in one paragraph

Corrigan Moving Systems has been operating since 1929 (about 97 years), runs out of Dearborn, MI, and covers all 50 states. Current FMCSA filing shows USDOT 153343 and MC 041608. Corrigan Moving & Storage Company trades as Corrigan Moving Systems and Premier Relocations, filing from Dearborn, Michigan with 245 power units and 215 drivers on the federal census, an unusually large in-house fleet for a regional agent. The company has been family-owned since 1929 and describes itself as the third largest mover inside the United Van Lines system, so a long-haul leg may be performed by that network rather than by Corrigan directly. Corrigan Moving Systems - New York LLC is a separately registered company and is not covered by the record on this page.

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, Corrigan Moving Systems quotes generally land in the $2,800–$6,800 range, with the midpoint of that estimated range near $4,800. 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 Corrigan Moving Systems 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

Great Lakes moves handled by a large agent that runs its own trucks and crews. That is an editorial view of fit, not a measured performance result: we hold no complaint-rate, claims-outcome or satisfaction dataset for Corrigan Moving Systems. 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 Corrigan Moving Systems. 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 Corrigan Moving Systems, 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.
