Verdict

Victory Van Corporation

We do not publish a numeric score for moving companies.

Victory Van Corporation files from 110 Terminal Drive in Sterling, Virginia with 21 power units, 25 drivers and a household goods cargo entry, and common authority active under MC-128153 with household goods and property authority. The rating on file is Satisfactory, from a compliance review recorded in 2006. The company's own site dates the business to 1928, when it was founded as the Federal Storage Company, and states that it took the Victory Van name in 1945. Its site publishes a docket that differs by one digit from the federal record, a discrepancy recorded on this page rather than quietly corrected, and long-distance shipments move inside the Allied Van Lines network under that van line's separate registration.

What is Victory Van Corporation's USDOT number and is its authority active?

The USDOT number of Victory Van Corporation is 36816. This reflects the federal record as of 2026-08-15.

Is Victory Van Corporation the same company as Allied Van Lines?

No. Victory Van Corporation operates as an agent of Allied 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 36816, 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.

Why do the numbers on Victory Van Corporation’s own site differ?

The docket number published on the company’s own site reads MC #28153. The federal licensing record carries MC-128153 for the same registration. We publish the federal value and leave the published one visible rather than tidying the difference away, because a reader checking the company deserves to know why one of the two returns nothing.

The USDOT number the company publishes, 36816, matches the federal census exactly. The docket it publishes is one digit shorter than the docket the FMCSA licensing file carries for that same USDOT. Both values are shown here as read; the federal docket is the one stored on this record.

Is Victory Van Corporation licensed to move within Virginia?

For a move that stays inside Virginia, movers are authorised by Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, Motor Carrier Services, part of the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, and the authorisation is called Household Goods Carrier for-hire intrastate operating authority. A consumer can check an individual mover in the agency's own public lookup. We have not verified Victory Van Corporation's Virginia 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.

Is Victory Van Corporation a carrier, a broker, or both?

Victory Van Corporation holds motor carrier authority on its federal licensing record and does not hold property broker authority. Carrier authority means Victory Van Corporation 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 Victory Van Corporation carries the federal liability for the shipment. The licensing record for Victory Van Corporation shows household goods authority, property authority, and no broker authority.

Is Victory Van Corporation authorised to move household goods?

Victory Van Corporation holds active operating authority covering household goods on its federal licensing record. This is a stronger statement than the cargo classification on the census registration.

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.

Victory Van Corporation in one paragraph

Victory Van Corporation has been operating since 1928 (about 98 years), runs out of Sterling, VA, and covers all 50 states. Current FMCSA filing shows USDOT 36816 and MC 128153. Victory Van Corporation files from 110 Terminal Drive in Sterling, Virginia with 21 power units, 25 drivers and a household goods cargo entry, and common authority active under MC-128153 with household goods and property authority. The rating on file is Satisfactory, from a compliance review recorded in 2006. The company's own site dates the business to 1928, when it was founded as the Federal Storage Company, and states that it took the Victory Van name in 1945. Its site publishes a docket that differs by one digit from the federal record, a discrepancy recorded on this page rather than quietly corrected, and long-distance shipments move inside the Allied Van Lines network under that van line's 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, Victory Van Corporation quotes generally land in the $2,100–$5,800 range, with the midpoint of that estimated range near $3,950. 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 Victory Van Corporation 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

Northern Virginia and Washington DC household and government-related moves handled by a long-established Allied agent. That is an editorial view of fit, not a measured performance result: we hold no complaint-rate, claims-outcome or satisfaction dataset for Victory Van Corporation. 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 Victory Van Corporation. 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.

Victory Van Corporation1928$2,100–$5,800
Allied Van Lines1928$3,200–$7,500
Atlas Van Lines1948$3,000–$7,200

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 Victory Van Corporation, 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.
