Verdict

Hollander Storage & Moving

We do not publish a numeric score for moving companies.

Hollander International Storage and Moving Company, Inc. files from the Chicago area, active on the federal census with a household goods cargo entry and a fleet in the mid-forties, and the licensing file returns both common carrier authority and broker authority on the same registration. The two are reported separately on this page rather than merged into one generic authority line, because a shipment moved under the carrier authority and a shipment arranged under the broker authority are different contracts. The company is a United Van Lines agent and also references Mayflower in its service structure; no United or Mayflower corporate identifier is stored on this record. A separately registered person trading under a similar name in New Jersey, and an unrelated Kansas registrant, were reviewed and deliberately not merged here. The business dates itself to 1888.

Best for
Chicago-area household and corporate relocations booked with a long-established United Van Lines agent that holds both carrier and broker authority in its own name
Main trade-off
Interstate line-haul runs in relation to the van line, so the crew, the equipment and the claims route on a long-distance shipment can involve more than one company even though the contract starts here.

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

The USDOT number of Hollander Storage & Moving is 131735. This reflects the federal record as of 2026-08-15.

Is Hollander Storage & Moving the same company as United Van Lines?

No. Hollander Storage & Moving operates as an agent of United Van Lines, which is a separate company with its own federal registration. 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 131735, 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 Hollander Storage & Moving licensed to move within Illinois?

For a move that stays inside Illinois, movers are authorised by Illinois Commerce Commission, and the authorisation is called Household Goods License. A consumer can check an individual mover in the agency's own public lookup. We have not verified Hollander Storage & Moving's Illinois 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 Hollander Storage & Moving's fleet?

Hollander Storage & Moving reports 47 power units on its federal registration. Power units count trucks, tractors and other self-powered vehicles the company operates, not trailers. Hollander Storage & Moving last updated that federal registration on May 8, 2026, so the counts describe the fleet as filed on that date rather than today.

Does Hollander Storage & Moving have a federal safety rating?

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

Is Hollander Storage & Moving a carrier, a broker, or both?

Hollander Storage & Moving holds both motor carrier authority and property broker authority on its federal licensing record. Carrier authority means Hollander Storage & Moving can operate the trucks and crews that perform a move itself. Broker authority means Hollander Storage & Moving 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 Hollander Storage & Moving shows household goods authority, broker authority.

Is Hollander Storage & Moving authorised to move household goods?

Hollander Storage & Moving 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.

Hollander Storage & Moving in one paragraph

Hollander Storage & Moving has been operating since 1888 (about 138 years), runs out of Elk Grove Village, IL, and covers all 50 states. Current FMCSA filing shows USDOT 131735 and MC 127555. Hollander International Storage and Moving Company, Inc. files from the Chicago area, active on the federal census with a household goods cargo entry and a fleet in the mid-forties, and the licensing file returns both common carrier authority and broker authority on the same registration. The two are reported separately on this page rather than merged into one generic authority line, because a shipment moved under the carrier authority and a shipment arranged under the broker authority are different contracts. The company is a United Van Lines agent and also references Mayflower in its service structure; no United or Mayflower corporate identifier is stored on this record. A separately registered person trading under a similar name in New Jersey, and an unrelated Kansas registrant, were reviewed and deliberately not merged here. The business dates itself to 1888.

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, Hollander Storage & Moving quotes generally land in the $2,100–$5,900 range, with the midpoint of that estimated range near $4,000. 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 Hollander Storage & Moving 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

Chicago-area household and corporate relocations booked with a long-established United Van Lines agent that holds both carrier and broker authority in its own name. That is an editorial view of fit, not a measured performance result: we hold no complaint-rate, claims-outcome or satisfaction dataset for Hollander Storage & Moving. 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 Hollander Storage & Moving. 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

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.
