Pompano Beach, FL (PRUnderground) July 28th, 2026
Forbes named Colonial Van Lines one of the best long-distance moving companies in the country, awarding the company a 4.9-star rating out of 5. The publication also named the moving company Best for Digital Planning and Logistics. Both awards recognize the company’s expertise in using technology to help customers plan and organize their move.
Forbes recognized how Colonial Van Lines walks customers through their move before a truck ever shows up. The company uses virtual home walkthroughs and a mobile inventory app to give customers a clear picture of what they own and how it will all be handled. This tech helps customers easily line up their long-distance moving service.
“The technology we use takes the guesswork out of the process,” said John Pellitteri, a spokesperson for Colonial Van Lines. “Our customers know exactly what to expect before a single item is packed.”
Colonial Van Lines runs its own fleet of more than 90 trucks and works with agents in 48 states, handling packing, loading, storage, and vehicle shipping through one connected system. As a top-rated long-distance moving company, that setup keeps the company’s process straightforward and accountable. It also cuts out the third-party mix-ups and headaches on long-distance moves.
Forbes put its rankings together by evaluating 45 moving companies across 76 different measures. ¹The Forbes nod adds to a solid track record of recognition for Colonial Van Lines. U.S. News & World Report has named the company part of its Best Moving Companies list for multiple consecutive years, and Colonial Van Lines holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
Every mover the company puts on a job also completes hands-on training through Colonial Van Lines University (CVLU), an in-house program built around a fully staged demo home. “Planning a long-distance move means knowing what’s in your home, where it’s going, and how it gets there,” Pellitteri added. “Our movers take a lot of the stress out of the process.”
Colonial Van Lines handles roughly 12,000 long-distance moves a year and serves customers across the contiguous 48 states, from renters moving a one-bedroom to homeowners with high-value items that need extra care.
