American Van Lines

What American Van Lines does

American Van Lines is a privately held, family-owned moving company headquartered in Pompano Beach, Florida, operating nationwide moving and relocation services across all 50 states. Founded under its current ownership in 1995 (with brand roots to 1967) and led by owner Anthony DiSorbo since 1999, the company runs an integrated portfolio including local moving, long-distance moving, military moving, corporate relocation, employee moving, commercial moving, packing services, climate-controlled storage, antique and piano specialty moving, and auto shipping assistance. Core operations are powered by an in-house owned fleet of trucks, a centralized dispatch system with route planning, and directly employed crews dispatched through an in-house sales organization with no third-party brokers. The business serves four primary customer segments: residential households (studios through 6+ bedroom homes), corporate and commercial clients (supported by partnerships with Cartus, Prudential, NEI Global Relocation, Progress Energy, and Carolina Relocation), military personnel (as a Department of Defense-registered Transportation Services Provider for Personally Procured Moves), and specialty-item owners (pianos, antiques, fine art) requiring certified crews and climate-controlled storage.
