ALLIED VAN LINES INC.
ALLIED VAN LINES INC. Allied Van Lines, an American moving company, was founded in 1928 as a cooperative non-profit organization owned by its member agents on the east coast of the United States, to help with organizing return loads and minimizing dead-heading (i.e. operating trucks without shipments loaded on them).
In 1968 it was reorganized as a standard public company, with shares. In 1999 it merged with its larger competitor, North American Van Lines, and the combined entity then came under the holding company Allied Worldwide. In 2002, Allied Worldwide was renamed SIRVA, Inc., which went public the following year, as the world's largest relocation and van line logistics company.
The 1941 Dubuque City Directory and 1942 Dubuque Classified Business Directory listed 798 Washington.
