United Van Lines Name to Commercial Carrier Journal's Top 250 List

ST. LOUIS – United Van Lines, one of nation’s largest transportation companies, was named to the Top 250 For-Hire Carriers List by Commercial Carrier Journal (CCJ) magazine. United The CCJ Top 250 ranks the 250 largest for-hire trucking companies based on analysis of revenues, equipment and employment. United captured the No. 19 spot, maintaining its ranking from last year’s list.
