Long Distance Moves FAQs

Interstate moves are priced based on the weight of your belongings (measured in pounds) and the distance to your destination. Additional factors include packing services, specialty items, insurance, stairs, long carries, and seasonal surcharges.

A binding moving estimate guarantees your total moving cost based on the inventory and services agreed upon in advance. As long as nothing changes, the price will not increase on moving day. However, adding items or services can result in additional charges.

A non-binding estimate is an initial quote that can change based on the actual weight of your shipment, labor, and services provided. The final cost may be higher or lower than the original estimate.

Book at least 6-8 weeks in advance for long-distance moves. The Florida-Northeast corridor is extremely busy year-round, with peak demand in spring (snowbirds heading north) and fall (snowbirds heading south). Book as early as possible for these routes. This allows time for in-home estimates, planning, and coordination.

A moving company owns trucks and employs the crew that moves your belongings. A broker arranges your move by connecting you with actual moving companies but doesn’t perform the move themselves. Always verify who will actually handle your belongings.

Interstate movers must have a USDOT number from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Check their number on the FMCSA website. They should also be members of the American Trucking Association (ATA). Verify insurance and read reviews carefully.

Interstate movers must provide you with the ‘Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move’ booklet and the FMCSA’s ‘Ready to Move’ brochure. You’ll also receive a detailed estimate, bill of lading (your contract), and inventory list.

Delivery times vary by distance and logistics. A delivery spread is the range of dates your moving company provides for when your shipment may arrive. Your belongings can be delivered at any time within this window, and the mover will typically give you at least 24 hours’ notice before delivery.

You are responsible for being available to accept your shipment during the agreed delivery dates. If you are not available, your items may be placed into storage at your expense.

Avoid agreeing to “as soon as possible” delivery terms—always confirm specific dates or a defined delivery window. If you request changes after booking, the mover may accommodate them, but is not required to do so and may place your shipment in storage if delivery cannot be completed as scheduled.

You’re not required to pay more than 100% of a binding estimate or 110% of a non-binding estimate at delivery. Any additional charges must be billed within 30 days.

All interstate movers must offer basic coverage (released value) at $0.60 per pound per article. This is minimal protection. Full value protection is available for purchase and covers repair, replacement, or cash settlement. Consider third-party insurance for comprehensive coverage.

Moving costs can increase based on several factors, especially for long-distance moves and full-service moving companies. The most common reasons include heavier shipment weight than estimated, additional services, accessibility challenges, and peak moving dates such as summer months, weekends, and holidays.

Key factors that can raise your total moving cost include:

  • Weight and volume: Higher shipment weight increases pricing for long-distance moves.
  • Packing services: Professional packing adds labor and material costs.
  • Accessibility issues: Stairs, elevators, or long distances from the truck to your home (long carries)
  • Timing: Peak season (May–September), weekends, and holidays typically cost more.
  • Additional stops: Extra pickup or delivery locations, such as storage units

Common additional moving fees may include:

  • Stair or elevator fees for multi-level buildings.
  • Bulky item charges for items like pianos, safes, or large furniture.
  • Packing materials such as boxes, bubble wrap, and mattress covers.
  • Long carry fees if movers must transport items a significant distance from the truck.
  • Fuel surcharges based on distance and fuel costs.
  • Storage fees if your move-in date is delayed.
  • Furniture disassembly and reassembly for large or complex items

Understanding these factors helps you better estimate your moving budget and avoid surprises on moving day.

Yes, be present when movers inventory your items at both origin and destination. Review the inventory list carefully and note any pre-existing damage. This protects both you and the movers from false claims.

File a claim with your moving company immediately. Take photos of damage and keep all documentation. Interstate movers must have a formal claims process. You typically have nine months from delivery to file a claim. Your insurance coverage determines compensation.

Yes, many long-distance movers offer storage solutions for items that can’t immediately go to your new home. This is helpful if your closing is delayed or you’re downsizing.
