Verdict

Lile Moving & Storage

We do not publish a numeric score for moving companies.

Lile has served Pacific Northwest customers since 1959 and today files federally as Lile International Companies Inc at 8060 SW Pfaffle St in Tigard, Oregon, the corporate address published on its own site, with household goods and general freight cargo entries and household goods authority on the licensing record. The census reports one power unit and one driver against that registration, which is the shape of an agent operation whose long hauls travel on van-line equipment. A second Oregon registration under the same name holds no household goods authority and no trucks, and an older Tigard filing is inactive, so neither is presented here. Interstate work runs inside the northAmerican Van Lines network under that van line's own separate registration.

Best for
Oregon and Washington household, office and government moves booked through a long-established Pacific Northwest agent
Main trade-off
The operating registration reports a single power unit and one driver, so almost all line-haul capacity comes from the northAmerican network rather than from Lile's own fleet.

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

The USDOT number of Lile Moving & Storage is 8287. This reflects the federal record as of 2026-08-17.

Is Lile Moving & Storage the same company as North American Van Lines?

No. Lile Moving & Storage operates as an agent of North American Van Lines, which is a separate company with its own federal registration, USDOT 070851. 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 8287, 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 Lile Moving & Storage licensed to move within Oregon?

For a move that stays inside Oregon, movers are authorised by Oregon Department of Transportation, Commerce and Compliance Division, part of the Oregon Department of Transportation, and the authorisation is called Oregon Intrastate Certificate to Transport Household Goods. A consumer can check an individual mover in the agency's own Oregon household goods authorized movers list. We have not verified Lile Moving & Storage's Oregon 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.

Does Lile Moving & Storage have a federal safety rating?

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

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

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.

Lile Moving & Storage in one paragraph

Lile Moving & Storage has been operating since 1959 (about 67 years), runs out of Tigard, OR, and covers all 50 states. Current FMCSA filing shows USDOT 8287 and MC 608976. Lile has served Pacific Northwest customers since 1959 and today files federally as Lile International Companies Inc at 8060 SW Pfaffle St in Tigard, Oregon, the corporate address published on its own site, with household goods and general freight cargo entries and household goods authority on the licensing record. The census reports one power unit and one driver against that registration, which is the shape of an agent operation whose long hauls travel on van-line equipment. A second Oregon registration under the same name holds no household goods authority and no trucks, and an older Tigard filing is inactive, so neither is presented here. Interstate work runs inside the northAmerican Van Lines network under that van line's own separate registration.

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, Lile Moving & Storage quotes generally land in the $2,100–$5,600 range, with the midpoint of that estimated range near $3,850. 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 Lile 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

Oregon and Washington household, office and government moves booked through a long-established Pacific Northwest agent. That is an editorial view of fit, not a measured performance result: we hold no complaint-rate, claims-outcome or satisfaction dataset for Lile 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 Lile 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.

What this page does and does not say

We publish no numeric score, star rating or ranked order for Lile Moving & Storage, 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.
