# Van line agency

A term used when buying moving.

An agreement to book and haul interstate moves under a national van line's brand and authority.

An agency brings interstate volume a local mover could never originate, and takes a commission and a set of operating standards in return. The agreement is with the van line, not the owner, so it does not automatically survive a sale and the line has to approve the new operator. Ask what share of revenue is agency work, then get the consent question answered before the offer, not after it.
