In conversation with Josh Morales, Founder and CEO of International Van Lines, Inc.

You offer a 100% money-back guarantee if a customer cancels their move, plus one month of free storage and 5% off when booking by phone. How do these customer-first policies build confidence and reduce the stress of moving?

Moving can be one of life’s most stressful events, and we believe customers should never feel trapped or pressured. Our money-back guarantee provides peace of mind and demonstrates confidence in our services. Free storage offers flexibility for customers facing unexpected delays, while promotional savings help make moving more affordable. These policies are designed to remove uncertainty from the process and show customers that we are focused on earning their business through trust, not contracts or fine print.

International Van Lines has been recognized as the best moving company by Forbes, U.S. News, USA Today, and Better Homes and Gardens. What do these accolades say about the trust and reliability your customers have experienced since 2000?

These recognitions validate the hard work our team puts in every day to deliver exceptional service. Awards from respected publications such as Forbes, U.S. News, USA Today, and Better Homes and Gardens are based on extensive research, customer feedback, service quality, and industry reputation. For us, they reflect the trust our customers have placed in International Van Lines over the years. We have built our reputation by focusing on communication, accountability, and delivering on our promises. The greatest compliment we receive is when customers refer their friends and family to us, and these awards reinforce the confidence consumers can have when choosing IVL.

Your company handles over 20,000 moves per year with a 4.8+ star rating from over 1,600 reviews. How do you maintain such consistently high service quality across thousands of moves annually?

Consistency starts with people and processes. We invest heavily in recruiting, training, and retaining qualified team members who share our commitment to customer service. Every customer is assigned a dedicated move coordinator who guides them through the entire process. We also use advanced technology, quality assurance procedures, and continuous performance monitoring to ensure every move meets our standards. Most importantly, we take responsibility when issues arise and work quickly to resolve them. That commitment to accountability is one of the key reasons we continue to maintain such strong customer satisfaction ratings.

As both a licensed carrier and a broker, International Van Lines offers flexibility while maintaining direct accountability. How does this dual model ensure customers receive reliable, transparent service without hidden costs?

Our carrier and broker model allows us to provide customers with the best possible solution based on their specific needs. For many moves, we handle transportation directly using our own trucks, equipment, and personnel. For others, particularly in specialized markets or remote locations, and international locations we leverage a carefully vetted network of trusted partners. Regardless of who performs the transportation, International Van Lines remains responsible for coordinating the move and ensuring clear communication. Customers receive transparent pricing, detailed estimates, and ongoing support throughout the process. Our goal is to provide flexibility without sacrificing accountability.

You have integrated eco-friendly practices including biodiesel and electric vehicles, plus recyclable and biodegradable packing materials. How does your commitment to sustainability strengthen your reputation as a responsible, trustworthy company?

We believe successful companies have a responsibility to operate sustainably and reduce their environmental impact whenever possible. By utilizing fuel-efficient vehicles, exploring alternative energy solutions, optimizing transportation routes, and promoting recyclable and biodegradable packing materials, we are taking meaningful steps toward a greener future. Sustainability is not just good for the environment—it reflects the values of responsibility and long-term thinking that customers expect from trusted businesses. Our commitment demonstrates that we care not only about moving people today but also about preserving the communities we serve for future generations.

International Van Lines has served over 180 countries and partners with 4KIDS to support foster children and families in crisis. How does this global reach, combined with community partnerships, demonstrate your commitment to making a positive impact beyond business?

Our global reach allows us to connect people and businesses across the world, but our impact extends far beyond transportation. We believe success should create opportunities to give back. Through our partnership with 4KIDS and other charitable initiatives, we support foster children, families in crisis, and vulnerable members of our community. As a foster parent and adoptive father, myself, this mission is deeply personal. We are proud to use our platform and resources to help create positive changes. Whether we are relocating a family overseas or supporting children in need locally, our goal is to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

What does the future hold for your company and its customers? Are exciting things on the way?

Absolutely. We are investing heavily in technology, customer experience, and service expansion. Our focus is on creating a faster, more transparent moving process through AI-powered tools, virtual surveys, enhanced shipment tracking, and automation that improves communication and efficiency. We are also expanding our international capabilities and strengthening our logistics network. As customer expectations evolve, we remain committed to innovation while maintaining the personal service that has defined International Van Lines from the beginning. The future is very exciting, and we believe our customers will benefit from a moving experience that is more convenient, predictable, and customer-focused than ever before.
