Chieftain Van Lines

About This Company

Serving Omaha since 1941, Chieftain Van Lines brings four generations of moving expertise to families and businesses throughout the region. This woman-owned, family-operated company handles everything from local apartment moves to cross-country relocations, always treating belongings with the same care they'd give their own. Their team manages packing, transportation, and unpacking while maintaining constant communication throughout the process. With an A+ BBB rating backing their reputation, they also provide secure storage solutions for those needing temporary space between moves. What really separates Chieftain from typical moving companies is their personal approach—customers aren't just another job on the schedule. The Dudley family's hands-on involvement means you'll actually speak with decision-makers who care about getting things right, not anonymous call center representatives reading from scripts. Whether relocating a single bedroom or an entire corporate office, their licensed and insured crews work efficiently without sacrificing attention to detail.
