Allways Transportation INC (United Transportation Moving & Storage)
Interstate household goods carrier registered with FMCSA under USDOT 1978660 and MC-699570, based in Woodland Hills, CA. Record as published in the Motor Carrier Census snapshot of 4 September 2026.
What the federal record says
Allways Transportation INC trades as United Transportation Moving & Storage and holds USDOT number 1978660 and operating authority MC-699570. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles County, California. Its household goods authority is on file as common carrier of household goods and contract carrier of household goods, which is the grant that allows a company to move a household across a state line for money. The USDOT record was created on 28 December 2009, 16 years before this snapshot, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 31 May 2024.
Allways Transportation INC reports 4 power units and 3 drivers, 0.8 drivers per truck. At that size a long haul booking usually means one crew and one truck for the whole trip, so dates are tight and a delay at the origin runs through the whole schedule. The equipment itemized on the form is 4 trucks. The company reported 56,000 miles for 2023, which works out at roughly 14,000 miles per power unit. That places it 137th by fleet size among the 416 registered household goods carriers based in California.
Besides household goods the census lists 1 other cargo classification: general freight. A carrier with a broad cargo list is running household moves alongside other freight, which can mean better rates on a backhaul and less predictable scheduling. The registered address falls in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA metropolitan area, where 167 other registered household goods carriers are based. FMCSA has assigned this carrier a satisfactory safety rating, dated 15 March 2022.

Complaint history is not published here
FMCSA records household goods complaints in the National Consumer Complaint Database. That database has no bulk or export route open to the public, so no complaint counts appear on this site. Check the company yourself before you book. The FMCSA mover search returns complaint counts for the past three years alongside the registration record.
Our walkthrough of those lookups is on the FMCSA SAFER mover lookup guide.

Every company on these pages is registered with FMCSA. Registration is a filing requirement, not an endorsement, a licence to a standard, an approval, or a quality check by FMCSA or by this site. Fleet counts, driver counts and mileage are self reported by the carrier on form MCS-150 and are only as current as its last filing. Figures are reproduced as the federal files recorded them on the snapshot dates above and may have changed since.
