Building a reliable and solid reputation and being part of this organization is paramount to our success because the majority of our customers come from referrals and repeat business.

History of Sterling Van Lines

Sterling Van Lines began over 30 years ago and was founded by Gerald (Jerry) Cassidy.

Mr. Cassidy began in the moving industry as a young teenager and learned the ropes of moving furniture, loading, packing and driving from the ground up. He graduated into running his own tractor trailer and worked as a mover for over 30 years, moving household goods for many major moving companies including Bekins and Mayflower. As a moving contractor Mr. Cassidy built up a fleet of movers doing household goods.

At the beginning of the 1990’s Mr. Cassidy saw the need for the moving of small shipments with the same service that full household goods moves receive – full service and blanket wrapped furniture delivered by professional movers and placed in the home. This was a service that was needed, and no one was servicing this type of move.

Sterling Van Lines became a pioneer in the small shipment business and has been servicing small loads ever since.

Each move is customized to fit each customer. Don’t be surprised to hear questions like, “is your flight of stairs a straight shot or does it take a turn in the middle?” Or, “is there a railing that needs to come off?” Or,” how wide is the door that a large piece might have to go through?” As you can see, the staff at Sterling goes the extra mile to take care of you.

Each move is given a guaranteed price for the items you want to move.

Now as a part of the Rene's Van and Storage family the stellar service will continue. We will carry on the excellent service that can be expected while we continue to take care of people’s belongings whether in the warehouse or on the road. Sterling has taken care of people like you for over 30 years and will continue to do so because our team cherishes in helping people move their beloved items to where they need to go.

They moved a very old 1886 Steinway Baby Grand across the country and they did a wonderful job. Sterling had the best price as well. Tim D. Piano Move
Antique Move Testimonial
Sterling moved some antiques from PA to NV for my family. My main concern was that the pieces arrive intact and in good shape, and they certainly did.Shani C. Antique Move
