Armen Petrosyan spent six years dispatching a 40-truck regional freight fleet out of the Valley, watching drivers get held to a tracked ETA window on every single run — then noticed moving companies never got held to that same standard, just a rough half-day guess and a shrug if the truck showed up late. He started Aliance Transportation Services in 2011 to run household moves the way a freight dispatch board runs a truck route: a real window, a tracked ETA, and a crew that reports in. Eleven trucks, twenty-one people on payroll, no subcontractors filling in on a job they’ve never seen.
Calling (714) 241-2673 gets you our Lankershim Blvd office, not a call center somewhere else. Fill out the form and it lands on Nairi’s desk directly — for anything bigger than a one-bedroom, she’ll typically have Eddie’s walkthrough already scheduled by the time she calls you back.

What Valley Families Notice First
Why North Hollywood Keeps Booking Aliance Transportation Services
The Walkthrough Ends With A Tracked Window, Not Just A Number
Eddie Cabrera doesn’t just count boxes at the estimate — he sizes the crew, blocks out a dispatch window, and works out whether a couch is making the turn on the stairs or coming through a window. That window is what the truck runs on move day, not a guess made standing in the driveway.
Building Access Solved At The Walkthrough, Not At The Curb
Loading-zone permits, freight elevator windows, stairwell widths, whatever it takes to get furniture in or out of a specific building — Eddie works it out before crew day, so nobody’s improvising with a couch already off the truck.
Eleven Trucks, Twenty-One People, No Subcontractors
Every mover on the truck is on Aliance’s own payroll. Armen built the company that way in 2011, after six years dispatching freight drivers who never got swapped out mid-route — seventeen movers, twenty-one people total, none of them strangers to each other.
The Office Watches The Forecast And The Freeways
A Valley heat spike doesn’t need to hit triple digits to cost a crew an hour — a jammed 101/170 interchange does the same damage. Nairi checks both the forecast and the traffic feed the night before your move and calls if the route or start time needs to shift.
In Armen’s Own Words
Why Every Move Gets A Dispatch Window, Not A Guess
“Six years dispatching freight taught me where a shipment actually falls apart — not on the road, but the moment nobody’s tracking the window anymore. Movers never got held to that standard: a rough half-day guess, and a shrug if the truck showed up late. I started Aliance Transportation Services in 2011 to fix that one problem — give every move a real dispatch window, track it, and put a crew on it that reports in the way a driver checks in with dispatch. Eddie builds that window at the walkthrough, and the crew runs the job against it.”

How Every Dispatch Starts
Every Move Gets A Tracked Window, Not A Guess
- Eddie walks the house at the estimate and sets the dispatch window — crew size, truck count, what needs to come off last, all worked out before crew day, not guessed at from a phone description.
- That window becomes crew chief Marcus Bell’s job ticket — he’s loading and unloading against Eddie’s plan, not figuring out on the spot which piece goes where.
- Nairi books your date against that window — she’s run dispatch and scheduling since 2015, and the crew she sends already knows the building, the stairs, and the order before the truck backs in.
- A Sepulveda Pass backup eats daylight just as fast as a Valley heat spike — Nairi pulls the 101/170 traffic feed and the forecast the evening before a job and phones ahead if the crew needs a different start time.
- Two different registrations, not one sticker on a door: we hold a California DMV Household Goods Carrier permit for household moves that stay in-state, and we hold separate US DOT and MC authority on file for anything crossing into Nevada, Arizona, or beyond.
Dispatch Window Set Before Crew DayEddie sets the window and crew size at the walkthrough, so the truck is booked to the load it’s actually going to move, not a phone guess
Building Access Checked, Not GuessedLoading-zone permits, stairwell widths, and elevator windows get worked out in advance, not discovered with the truck already at the curb
Coverage Confirmed Before The Truck LoadsBasic released-value protection comes standard on every job at no cost. Ask Eddie about full-value coverage at your walkthrough if you'd rather have the higher payout ceiling

$155, $195, $245 an hour for two, three, or four movers, anywhere from North Hollywood out to Sherman Oaks or Burbank — that’s the whole rate card. Crew size isn’t Eddie’s best guess off a phone call, either; he walks the place first, so the number matches the load he’s actually planning to move.

15 Years Of Walkthroughs Across These Suburbs
Eddie’s walked houses in Valley Village, Studio City, Toluca Lake, Burbank, Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, North Hills, and Universal City since 2017, and Marcus has run crews through those same towns since 2014 — enough walkthroughs to know which buildings need a loading-zone permit and which ones don’t. That’s not a script; it’s Los Angeles, Ventura, and Orange County, block by block.

Roads We’re On Every Week Beyond the San Fernando Valley and greater Los Angeles
Most weeks that means the 101 through Sherman Oaks, the 170 down toward Burbank, or Vineland up toward Valley Village and Toluca Lake — plenty of other jobs never leave North Hollywood at all. Doesn’t matter which of those it is — call Nairi, get a walkthrough on the calendar, and Eddie is usually standing in your rooms within two days, long before a calculator on some website could give you a real number.

Common San Fernando Valley Questions
Aliance Transportation Services, Answered Plainly
What does an hourly local move in North Hollywood actually run?
$155/hr for two movers, $195/hr for three, $245/hr for four, plus $50/hr for each additional set of hands. That number only means something once Eddie has actually stood in the rooms and counted the stairs — a finished basement in a Valley Village bungalow eats a lot more crew time than a North Hollywood one-bedroom, even if both look about the same size on paper.
Is Aliance Transportation Services an actual moving company, or do you hand the job to a broker?
Every person who touches your boxes is on our own payroll, riding in one of our own trucks — nothing gets handed off to a broker or a subcontracted outfit. Armen Petrosyan founded the company in 2011 after six years dispatching a 40-truck regional freight fleet, and today it is eleven trucks and seventeen movers in the field, twenty-one people total counting the office.
What does “moved like freight, tracked like freight” actually mean?
It means the crew works off a tracked dispatch window the same way a freight driver does — not a rough half-day guess. Armen built the company on the idea that a household move deserves the same discipline a 40-truck freight fleet holds its drivers to: a real ETA window, dispatch checking in on progress, and a crew that reports its status instead of just showing up whenever it shows up.
Who does the in-home walkthrough, and what is Aliance Transportation Services actually planning?
Eddie Cabrera has run walkthroughs here since 2017. He is not just counting boxes — he is mapping which piece of furniture goes where in the new place, what order the truck needs to load in so nothing ends up buried behind something else, and how the crew gets in and out of both buildings. That plan is what the crew works from on move day.
Who runs my crew on move day?
Marcus Bell has led crews here since 2014. Ahead of your move date he gets Eddie’s full walkthrough notes — the load order, the furniture placement, the building access details — so the crew is working off the same plan Eddie built, not a generic work order written the morning of.
What does it take to lock in a moving date?
Call (714) 241-2673, and Nairi checks the truck schedule right there on the phone with you. The deposit that holds your slot isn't a separate charge either — it comes straight off what you owe on move day.
Does Eddie actually set a real dispatch window before move day?
Yes — at the in-home walkthrough he sizes the crew, blocks out the truck, and works out building access room by room, and that window is what crew chief Marcus Bell works from on move day, not a guess made in the doorway.
Our closing keeps slipping — can we push the move date without starting over?
As soon as you have a new date, call Nairi — there’s no fee for moving it. Since Eddie already wrote up the window at your walkthrough, rescheduling is just a different slot on the calendar, not a fresh estimate.
How much does it cost to book two, three, or four movers?
$155 an hour for two movers, $195 for three, $245 for four, and $50 an hour for each additional mover beyond that. Eddie sets the crew size at your walkthrough based on the actual load, not a phone guess.
Our new place isn’t ready yet — can you hold our things for a few weeks?
Happens more than you’d think. We keep your things in our own Lankershim Blvd warehouse, not a unit subleased from some third party, and Eddie folds the storage cost into your walkthrough number up front. When the new place is ready, Marcus’s crew unloads it against the same window they built the first time — nothing gets re-sorted from scratch.
What if a piece of furniture gets damaged in transit?
Basic released-value protection is built into every job, no charge added. For anything you’d rather insure at full value, Eddie lays out that option during the in-home estimate — well before the truck is loaded, not as a conversation after something’s already been broken.
Is Aliance Transportation Services actually licensed to move households in California?
Yes — we hold a California DMV Household Goods Carrier permit for household moves that stay in-state, and separate US DOT and MC authority on file for anything crossing into Nevada, Arizona, or beyond. Ask Nairi for the details when you book if you want it on record.
What happens if a Valley heat spike or bad traffic hits on our move day?
Nairi pulls the forecast and checks the 101/170 traffic feed the evening before every job. When either one is bad enough to change the start time or the route in, she’s the one who phones you — the crew never shows up and springs a surprise on you at 7am.
Ready To Get A Tracked Dispatch Window Instead Of A Guess?
Two ZIP codes and a rough home size are all Eddie needs to turn around a real number same day — not something pulled off a generic chart. Mention anything oversize now, a piano, a gun safe, a storage gap between closings, and it gets built into the window ahead of time instead of becoming a moving-day surprise.
