Allied Van Lines is an American moving company founded in 1928 as a cooperative non-profit organization owned by its member agents on the east coast of the United States, to help with organizing return loads and minimizing dead-heading (i.e. operating trucks without shipments loaded on them). In 1968 it was reorganized as a standard public company, with shares. In 1999 it merged with its larger competitor, North American Van Lines, and the combined entity then came under the holding company Allied Worldwide. In 2002, Allied Worldwide was renamed SIRVA.
In January 2020, Allied Van Lines was recognized by Newsweek as one of America’s Best Customer Service Providers.[1] In May 2020, Allied Van Lines earns the coveted 2020 Women’s Choice Award for sixth year in a row.[2] In July 2020, Allied Van Lines receives 37th Annual Quest for Quality Awards recognition from Logistics management.[3] Allied Van Lines in February 2020 continues its exclusive charity partnership with The Salvation Army.[4]
