Allied Van Lines Standard of Excellence

Beyond Allied agents' nationwide and global presence, there is one MAJOR reason why Allied agents outshine other moving companies: Allied agents meet STRINGENT, RIGOROUS standards as professional movers, ensuring a successful, hassle-free relocation. The Quality Standards Met by Allied Agents - Moving Companies You Can Trust

Allied agents must meet and adhere to certain quality assurance and stringent standards in order to be a part of the Allied Van Lines brand. What exactly does this mean to you? You benefit from the assurance in knowing you are working with valid, professional and reputable movers.

Beward of Moving Scams

Nowadays, this peace of mind is critical. Rogue movers and swindlers are around every corner, ready to take your money and possessions at their first opportunity. Aside from being professional moving companies, Allied agents also comply with the highest quality standards in the industry, ensuring not only a successful move, but a secure and efficient relocation as well. What are The Qualifications Allied Agents Must Meet?

Licensed, Bonded, Insured Movers

When we say our agents meet rigorous standards, this means that in addition to complying with the industry standards, Allied movers must adhere to Allied quality standards. These standards set the bar for excellence. This means, not all moving companies are the same. Only Allied Van Lines agents meet and practice the following more stringent quality standards. Licensed, Bonded and Insured Movers

• Licensed: Allied agents are licensed for local and interstate moves, verifying them as professional moving companies. Moving companies must be licensed in either/both the city and state to operate a professional business. There are state and federal level licenses in the U.S. obtained from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, or the FMCSA. *Ask your movers for their motor carrier license number and DOT authorization number*
• Bonded: Allied agents are bonded in their city and/or state, verifying them as reputable movers. Movers should be bonded to protect YOU during your move. Choosing bonded movers means that you are protected from theft on the part of rogue movers or discreditable thieves. This bond posted as required by law protects you in the case of employee theft, vandalism, etc.
• Insured: Allied agents are not only insured, but meet MORE STRINGENT INSURANCE STANDARDS. Moving companies should be insured so that should something happen, you don't lose everything. More specifically, any damage/loss caused by negligence by the company during the moves insured so that you are compensated for these losses/damages to your belongings.

Allied agents have met rigorous insurance requirements. Unlike typical moving companies, Allied agents go above and beyond the standard insurance requirements put forth by the Department of Transportation.

The Allied Advantage is YOUR Advantage

What is the Allied Advantage? Allied Van Lines is a leader in the marketplace, meaning our agents have certain advantages over other moving companies.
