Company information

With over a century of experience behind them, Suddath has earned its reputation as one of Charlotte's most trusted moving companies. Operating as an Atlas Van Lines agent since 1919, they've handled everything from small apartment relocations to major corporate transfers throughout the Queen City and beyond. Their Charlotte team knows the metro area like the back of their hand - from bustling Uptown to the suburbs of Ballantyne, Davidson, and Huntersville. What really separates them from the competition is their unique technology platform that gives customers real-time tracking and updates throughout their move. Unlike many companies that outsource parts of the process, Suddath keeps everything in-house with their own trained crews who complete background checks and graduate from their specialized Suddath University training program. They handle local moves under 50 miles, long-distance relocations anywhere in the country, and international transfers to over 190 countries. Their single point of contact approach means one dedicated move counselor guides each customer from initial quote to final delivery, eliminating the confusion that comes with dealing with multiple representatives.
