Colonial Van & Storage, Inc. has been a pivotal player in the moving and storage industry since its inception in 1946 by Russell Sampoul in Sacramento, California.

Over the next two decades, the company became well-known for its commitment to quality service, expanding its fleet and operations significantly. Today, the company operates three main locations—Sacramento, Fresno, and Reno/Sparks—boasting over 150 pieces of equipment and a team of dedicated over-the-road drivers.
