This April, Allied Van Lines proudly celebrates 97 years of moving families, businesses, and communities forward. Since our founding in 1928, we have grown from a small group of independent movers into one of the most trusted and recognized names in the moving industry. Nearly a century later, our commitment to quality, reliability, and customer-first service remains stronger than ever.
As we mark this milestone, let’s take a journey through Allied’s rich history, industry leadership, and the unmatched experience that sets us apart.
From Humble Beginnings to a Global Leader
In 1928, a group of independent moving companies joined forces, creating a cooperative network that would revolutionize the relocation industry. Their goal? To provide customers with seamless, efficient, and professional moving services across the country.
By 1934, Allied Van Lines officially became a corporation, and by the mid-20th century, we had expanded our reach nationwide and internationally earning a reputation for safe, secure, and reliable relocations.
