Schroeder Moving: A Legacy of Excellence Since 1917
Founded in 1917 as Steinhauer Transfer Co., Schroeder Moving began as a modest Midwestern transfer and storage business. In 1948, Harold E. Schroeder acquired the company, ushering in a new era of growth and innovation. That same year, Schroeder became one of the earliest members of United Van Lines—now recognized as America’s #1 Corporate Mover.
As a longstanding agent and stakeholder of United Van Lines, Schroeder Moving has grown significantly through strategic acquisitions, establishing itself as one of Wisconsin’s largest and most trusted moving companies.
Under the leadership of John E. Schroeder, the company expanded further by acquiring Boulevard Mayflower—one of the most iconic names in the moving industry. This acquisition was made possible through UniGroup, the parent company of both United Van Lines and Mayflower Transit.
Today, with the third generation of the Schroeder family actively involved, Schroeder Moving continues its unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional moving services. Built on a foundation of integrity, innovation, and customer care, the company’s legacy ensures a bright future for generations to come.
At Schroeder Moving, we’ve been moving more than just belongings—we’ve been moving lives, dreams, and hopes across Wisconsin and beyond. With over three decades of industry experience, our journey began with a simple yet powerful vision: to bring peace of mind to every customer by making their moving experience seamless and stress-free.
As agents of United Van Lines and Mayflower Transit, we combine local expertise with the reliability of two of the most trusted names in the moving industry.
