Van Line Company
What does this mean?

Colonial Van Lines

Colonial Van Lines has grown from small beginnings to become a leader in long-distance moving since opening in 2003. The company began with the Disorbo family, dating back to the 1980s when Mr. Disorbo started his first moving business at just 21 years old. With only $2,000 borrowed from his father and a single truck working from his Coral Springs garage, he laid the foundation for what would become a moving industry success story. What sets Colonial Van Lines apart is their unique approach to training and customer service. The company's pride and joy is Colonial Van Lines University (CVLU), a one-of-a-kind training center in Pompano Beach, Florida. This facility features a complete residential home where movers learn the "Colonial way" of putting customers first. Their company motto—"pack it, stack it, but never crack it®"—shows their attention to detail, which has helped them achieve an impressive 96.5% customer satisfaction rate. With more than 20 years in the business, Colonial has grown substantially, now handling over 12,000 moves each year with a fleet of more than 90 trucks and 45 agents across the country. Their five-acre headquarters in Pompano Beach serves as the main hub for operations that reach from coast to coast. Looking to the future, Colonial Van Lines shows true leadership with forward-thinking plans. Their commitment to the environment can be seen in their practical goal to add 15 Tesla electric trucks by 2026, with plans to switch to a completely electric fleet by 2028. They've also created the Colonial Moving App, the first full-service mobile solution in the industry, showing their dedication to using new technology. Under Mr. Disorbo's leadership, who has repeatedly changed the moving industry for the better, Colonial Van Lines continues to be a top provider of quality, reliable, and innovative long-distance moving services throughout the United States.
