Action Moving & Storage

What Action Moving & Storage does

Action Moving & Storage is a privately held, locally owned moving and storage company headquartered at 514 Clark St, Sioux City, Iowa, founded in 1983 and operating continuously for over four decades. The company delivers residential, commercial, long-distance, and local moving services across the Siouxland region — including Sioux City, Omaha, Lincoln, Cedar Rapids, Grand Island, Fort Dodge, and Rochester — under federal DOT # 299154 and MC # 1497813 interstate operating authority. Its service portfolio spans five core lines (local moving, long-distance moving, residential moving, office and commercial moving, and storage vaults) augmented by professional packing/unpacking, moving supplies, and two wholly-owned subsidiaries (Absolute Mobile Shredding and Assured Record Management Services).

The company operates without proprietary technology, relying on a well-maintained truck fleet and trained crews rather than a software platform. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via phone, website estimate forms, and walk-in inquiries at the Sioux City office, with no franchise, reseller, or intermediary channels. Marketing is executed through organic SEO on actionmovinginc.com, an active educational blog authored by Owner Operator Casey Schaaf, and a dedicated reviews page soliciting customer feedback. The company holds active memberships across the Sioux City, South Sioux City, and North Sioux City Chambers of Commerce and is listed with the Better Business Bureau.

The business model is professional services revenue: quote-based, pay-as-you-go pricing with free no-obligation estimates and a stated no-hidden-fees policy. Revenue is generated from one-time fees for packing, loading, transportation, unloading, storage vault rental, and specialty handling, with adjacent revenue from shredding and records management. Leadership is concentrated in Casey Schaaf as Owner Operator (joined 2016), whose prior 12 years as a licensed insurance agent shapes a risk-management orientation across operations.

Others

• Public Storage: National self-storage operator. Comparable in storage services as an alternative or complement to Action's vault storage, though Public Storage focuses on self-service storage rather than full-service moving.

Emerging players

• PODS: Portable moving and storage container company offering local, long-distance, and storage solutions. Comparable in storage and cross-state moving capabilities, with a differentiated container-based delivery model.
• Penske Truck Rental: Truck rental provider commonly used for DIY moves. Indirect competitor — Action provides full-service moving, while Penske enables self-service moves that compete for the same household goods transportation spend.

Broad incumbents

• Mayflower Transit: National interstate moving company with agent network offering local, long-distance, and corporate relocation services. Comparable long-distance and household goods moving capabilities, with broader geographic reach.
• Atlas Van Lines: Interstate household goods and corporate relocation carrier with agent network. Comparable in interstate moving services and DOT/MC licensing model, serving similar customer segments at national scale.
• United Van Lines: Major interstate household goods carrier operating through a nationwide agent network. Comparable in long-distance and interstate moving offerings, but operates at vastly larger scale with agent-based distribution rather than direct local service.
• Bekins Van Lines: Interstate moving company offering household and commercial relocation. Comparable long-distance moving services and federal motor carrier licensing, though larger and more geographically distributed.
• Allied Van Lines: Large interstate van line offering household and corporate moving services through agents. Overlaps with Action's long-distance and commercial moving offerings but at significantly larger national scale.
• Wheaton World Wide Moving: Interstate household goods mover with agent network, offering residential and corporate relocation. Comparable in long-distance service and federal licensing, with broader geographic footprint.

Direct peers

• Two Men and a Truck: Franchised residential and commercial moving company with strong brand and multi-state presence. Highly comparable to Action Moving & Storage in local/small-move service mix and customer segments, but with national franchise scale.
