Nationwide Long Distance Moving Services

We deliver to your new home, place furniture where you want it, and do a final walkthrough.
Understanding Long Distance Pricing
Long distance moves are priced differently than local moves. Here's what you need to know:
- Volume-Based Pricing: Cost is based on the amount of space your items take in the truck
- Distance Factor: Mileage between origin and destination
- Binding vs. Non-Binding Estimates: We offer binding quotes so you know your exact cost upfront
- Additional Services: Packing, storage, and special handling quoted separately
How Payment Works
After we provide your quote and you decide to book:
- Deposit: A small deposit of $100-$200 secures your moving date
- At Loading: Half of the remaining balance is collected when we load your items into the truck
- At Delivery: The final half is collected when we finish unloading at your new home
No surprise charges. The binding quote we provide is the price you pay, regardless of any changes on moving day (unless you add items).

Long Distance FAQs
Common questions about interstate and cross-country moves
Delivery time depends on distance and how urgent your situation is. Nearby places (California, Nevada, Arizona) typically take 1-2 days. Midwest destinations take 3-4 days. East Coast destinations can take up to 5-6 days. We'll provide a delivery window when you book and keep you updated throughout transit.
We understand plans can change. If you need to adjust your delivery date, let us know as soon as possible. We offer storage options if there's a gap between when you leave your old home and when you can receive items at your new one.
Federal regulations prohibit moving hazardous materials (gasoline, propane, chemicals, ammunition), perishable food, and plants. Some states have restrictions on specific items. We also recommend keeping important documents, jewelry, medications, and irreplaceable items with you.
Yes, we offer both short-term and long-term storage options. This is helpful if your new home isn't ready yet or if you need time to find a place at your destination. Your items stay in our secure, climate-monitored facility until you're ready for delivery.
We'll send you a detailed preparation guide, but key tips include: declutter before you pack, keep essentials with you (medications, important docs, phone chargers), label boxes by room, take photos of electronics setups, and arrange for parking at both locations. If you've booked packing services, just make sure fragile and valuable items are identified.
