What COLEMAN MOBILE SERVICES Inc. does

Coleman Mobile Services Inc. (Coleman Worldwide Moving) is a family-owned moving and storage company founded in 1914 and headquartered in Midland City, Alabama. It serves residential, commercial, corporate relocation, government/military, and international customers through 47 Allied-branded locations plus 9 additional companies across 22+ U.S. states, including Hawaii, Alaska, and Guam. As the largest agent in the Allied Van Lines network, Coleman leverages Allied's 175-country international footprint to deliver cross-border moves, and it holds GSA, CHAMP, and ProMover certifications that gate access to federal and military relocation work. The company completes 12,000+ military/government moves annually with a 95.6% customer satisfaction score and maintains a 4.9/5 star rating across 1,056 customer reviews.

The company's core service lines are local, long-distance, international, and military/government relocation, complemented by 1.5 million square feet of commercial and residential storage capacity. Technology infrastructure is primarily web-based: online shipment tracking and the recently launched Coleman Local platform, which provides instant booking for residential local moves. The company markets on TikTok and other consumer channels, indicating a modest digital-led growth motion. Recent strategic moves include the February 2026 merger with Siracusa Moving & Storage and the May 2026 acquisition of Colonial Van & Storage, signaling consolidation in the regional moving market.

Coleman earns revenue through per-move fees charged across multiple service lines plus recurring storage revenue from its 1.5 million sq ft warehouse base. The customer base is diversified across residential (B2C), commercial (B2B), corporate relocation, and government/military channels, with the federal segment gated by CHAMP and GSA certifications. The company is positioned as a top-5 privately owned van line in the United States, with strategic growth driven by acquisitions, geographic expansion, and digitization of the local-move booking flow.
