In 1946, Russell Sampoul, known by his many friends as \u201cSam\u201d, started Colonial Van & Storage, Inc. with one truck and a dream. Though it all began with one man and a flatbed truck with chicken-wire racks, Colonial quickly grew and became successful. In fact, by 1950 Sam had opened his Fresno location and added a few new trucks to his one-truck fleet.<\/p>\n

Over the next 20 years, Colonial Van & Storage, Inc. flourished, providing nationwide moving and storage services to the residents in their two locations. With the purchase of Bender Moving & Storage in 1994, Sam and Doug opened Colonial\u2019s third location in Reno\/Sparks, Nevada. Throughout the 90s and into the later 2000s, Colonial Van & Storage, Inc. successfully operated out of these three locations, growing the business and prospering in the industry.<\/p>\n

In 2008, the celebrated Russell Sampoul passed away, and Douglas Welton took over full ownership of Colonial Van & Storage, Inc. Today, Colonial Van & Storage, Inc. owns more than 150 pieces of equipment, has more than 20 over-the-road drivers and operates the three locations in Fresno, Sacramento, and Reno\/Sparks. Although this distinguished moving and storage company began with one man, one truck and an ambition, Colonial Van & Storage, Inc. has evolved into a profitable, thriving transportation and storage company, executing moves all over the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":[],"class_list":["post-12905","movers","type-movers","status-publish","hentry","movers-category-california","movers-category-movers-in-usa"],"yoast_head":"\n
