How AVL Is Different Than Other WA Movers

At American Van Lines, we understand that moving is a major milestone, and it can be scary to trust your personal belongings with just any mover. Lucky for you, trust is everything to us.

Unlike other moving companies, American Van Lines only employs full-time — and fully trained — moving crew members, not contract labor or part-time employees. We've built a reputation for reliability and skill that consistently earns us recognition from national publications and corporations that pick us to handle their relocations. And we are upfront and transparent about our costs — some of the most affordable in the industry — so you won't be surprised by the final bill.
