Commercial Movers and Office Relocation Services

Why choose Star Van Lines for your commercial move

The commercial market is full of brokers that resell your project to whoever is free that weekend, and general labor crews that have never moved a server. We are neither. A Star Van Lines commercial move rests on four things you can verify:

• Real federal authority. Interstate business moves run under active authority, USDOT #4176875 and MC #1607491. Look either number up on FMCSA SAFER before you sign, and hire no interstate carrier that will not give you both.
• Our own crews. The people who survey, pack, and move your office work for Star Van Lines. Business moves fail at the handoffs, so we keep the chain short and the accountability with one company.
• Insured and building-ready. We provide the Certificate of Insurance your property manager requires, so your move is not stopped at the loading dock on the day it is scheduled.
• A written inventory and floor plan. Every asset is inventoried and coded to a destination position, then checked on arrival, so nothing goes missing and nothing lands in the wrong room.

We have relocated businesses in all 50 states since 2016 and hold a 240+ review history across public platforms. We keep that record by planning the downtime out of the move.

How is a commercial relocation priced?

A commercial move is priced on the size of the move and how it travels. A local office move is quoted by crew size and hours plus trucks and materials, so a larger office with more workstations and IT takes more crew and time. An interstate business move is priced mainly on distance and the volume of your office. As an entry point, a small-office interstate move near 500 miles begins around $1,000, a move near 1,000 miles begins around $1,300, and a haul above 2,500 miles begins around $2,000. Those are floors for the smallest commercial shipments; workstation count, server and IT handling, crating, after-hours labor, and building access all raise the figure. You receive a firm written estimate after the survey, not a placeholder. Call (855) 822-2722 to scope yours.

Interstate commercial pricing corridors

We price interstate moves from two inputs you can see: the mileage of your route and the volume of your office. The table shows entry corridors for a small-office shipment, before IT handling, crating, after-hours labor, and building access are added.

Approximate distance	Small office starts around
~500 miles (short interstate)	$1,000
~1,000 miles	$1,300
~1,500 miles	$1,700
~2,500 to 3,000 miles (coast to coast)	$2,000

A multi-floor or equipment-heavy office sits well above these numbers because it carries more weight, more crew hours, and more specialty handling. The point is that your price tracks real inputs, and you see it in writing before anything is loaded.

What licensing and insurance does a commercial mover carry?

An interstate commercial mover must be registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and hold a USDOT number plus interstate operating authority, an MC number. Star Van Lines operates under USDOT #4176875 and MC #1607491, both verifiable on the public FMCSA SAFER database at safer.fmcsa.dot.gov. On top of federal authority, a commercial mover carries general liability and workers' compensation coverage, and issues a building Certificate of Insurance so your property manager's requirements are met before move day.

What is a Certificate of Insurance and do you provide one?

A Certificate of Insurance, or COI, is a one-page document proving the mover carries active liability and workers' compensation coverage, and most commercial buildings require one on file before the move. It typically names the building owner and property manager as additional insured and lists the coverage limits the building requires. Yes, we provide it. Share your building's insurance requirements during the survey and we issue the COI to your property manager ahead of the scheduled date, so your move is not held at the dock.

How is business downtime minimized during a move?

Downtime is minimized by moving outside your operating hours and sequencing the work so the office comes back online fast. We stage commercial moves in evening, overnight, and weekend windows, break the job into a labeled sequence keyed to the destination floor plan, and move IT first-on or last-off so it can be reconnected first. Because every asset is coded to a position on the new map, crews place workstations where they belong instead of blocking the office with a pile of boxes. Call (855) 822-2722 and we will build the schedule around your calendar.

How are IT, servers, and sensitive equipment handled?

IT and server equipment get separate, documented handling because a data loss or a dead phone system costs more than a scratched desk. We inventory each device, coordinate an orderly shutdown with your IT team, disconnect and label cables, and protect drives and electronics with anti-static materials and padded, upright transport. Servers and network racks are moved first-on or last-off and staged at the destination in the server room so your team can power up and reconnect on a known schedule. Sensitive and high-value gear is crated when the route or the equipment calls for it.

How do you handle after-hours and weekend office moves?

Most business moves run outside operating hours precisely so the company does not stop. We schedule evening, overnight, and weekend windows, coordinate them with your building's freight-elevator and loading-dock rules, and staff the move with our own crews so the timeline holds. After-hours labor is written into the estimate rather than sprung on you, and the plan is sequenced so a Friday-night move has the office working again by Monday.

How should you prepare your team for an office move?

Preparation keeps the move fast and the downtime short. Assign one internal move coordinator to hold decisions and building access. Have staff clear personal items and label their own workstations to the floor-plan code. Ask IT to document the shutdown and reconnection order for servers, phones, and networked devices. Purge files and furniture you will not use, because you pay to move volume. Confirm the destination floor plan early so every asset has a coded home, and share your building's COI requirements at the survey so the certificate is ready before the date.

Which cities and states do you serve?

We relocate businesses in all 50 states from our base in Vernon, California, and run both local office moves and interstate corporate corridors. Whether you are consolidating floors downtown or moving your headquarters across the country, our commercial service ties into local teams in business hubs such as Houston, Chicago, and California, so one licensed company owns the job end to end. For long-haul corporate relocations, our commercial team coordinates with our interstate moving service so the same accountability follows the shipment between states.
