CARLYLE VAN LINES, INC.
WARRENSBURG, MO

When you first see the freshly painted trucks pull up next to your house and are greeted by the uniformed workers who kindly shake your hand, you will begin to understand why Carlyle Van Lines has become one of the most successful moving companies in the country. Since our inception, we have strived to facilitate a professional moving experience from a company that prides itself on family values and customer service. Carlyle began as a one truck moving company in 1961 in rural Missouri and has progressively doubled its moving capacity to the point where in 2009, we successfully moved 7,200 families. From our humble beginnings to our growing future, we have not been surpassed in quality and professionalism, and we prove this with every family we move. We would like you to become one of the many families to encounter a moving company who knows your successful transition and positive experience is the most important thing to you, and our company. Carlyle Van Lines, Inc. is committed to moving household goods and similar commodities while specializing in military moving. Carlyle has also recently expanded to enable more freight shipping. A multi-million dollar worldwide operation, Carlyle is the “flagship” of a group that encompasses Department of Transportation approved motor carriers. In 1958, with very little resources, Bill Carlyle founded Safeway Moving and Storage, the predecessor to Carlyle Van Lines. He built the company with one employee, a single truck, zero capital, an entrepreneur’s dream, and a willingness to work hard to meet the needs of his relocating customers. As an Air Force veteran himself, Bill was especially aware of the needs of transferred military personnel. Bill soon moved the company to Warrensburg, MO (about 60 miles southeast of its former Kansas City location) and for the next 20 years enjoyed steady growth. In 1981, two major events took place that would shape the company’s future. First receiving authority from the Interstate Commerce Commission to operate on a nationwide basis. Second, Bill renamed the company Carlyle Van Lines. Since that time, the company has broadened its scope and become active across the United States, and the international marketplace. A major factor in the success of Carlyle Van Lines is the active participation of the Carlyle family within the company. All five of Bill and Barbara Carlyle’s children (Bill Jr., Roy, Larry, Nancy and Susan) are active in the management of the corporation. Roy serves as president; Bill Jr. is executive vice president, overseeing fleet operations; Larry is the vice president of accounting and international operations; Nancy is the director of revenue distribution; Susan serves as the Safety director; Bill Sr. is available for consultation as Chairman of the Board. Although Bill Sr. is no longer active in the day-to-day operations, his business philosophy is still evident throughout. His formula for success simply stated, “work at something you like and surround yourself with quality people”, is still followed at Carlyle Van Lines. The atmosphere at Carlyle instills into each company employee an attitude of teamwork. Employees perform in a spirit of cooperation with customers and co-workers, knowing that teamwork is the true key to success. Each departmen is headed by a key employee, averaging over 20 years’ experience in the moving industry. To better assist clients, Carlyle Van Lines, Inc. has established a strong working relationship with hundreds of moving agencies worldwide. This growing team of agents, combined with Carlyle’s full complement of household goods moving services, ensures that the families and organizations being served receive on-time, top priority service. Already serving customers across the continental United States and Alaska, Carlyle Van Lines continues to expand its fleet and agency network to include more capacity and better service to our military, civilian, commercial and freight customers. Aware of our customer’s needs in an ever-expanding global marketplace, Carlyle is also meeting the service needs of overseas relocations.
