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. Starting with just one truck, the company quickly transformed into a successful enterprise, expanding to additional locations in Fresno and Reno as the demand for their services grew. By forging strong relationships with clients and providing reliable moving solutions, Colonial Van & Storage earned a robust reputation in the region.
Under the partnership of Sampoul and Doug Welton, who became co-owner in 1975, Colonial Van & Storage flourished. 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.
