The fees for a long distance move are determined by the weight of your cargo and by the distance between the pick-up and drop-off locations, with weight playing a more important role in price determination.
Here is some additional information that will help you understand the way fees for long distance moves are determined and to be well prepared for your move:
The weight of your items is measured by weighing the loaded truck on a scale. Truck scales are located on all major highways and at some moving facilities. The weight of your cargo is determined by subtracting the weight of the empty truck, called "empty weight" from the weight of the loaded truck. You are allowed to accompany the driver to the scale during the weighing to ensure that everything is in order. Make sure that your movers provide you with an "empty weight" receipt.
Our qualified sales representatives will provide you with an in-home estimate and devise your customized move plan. Our highly-trained and bonded packers and loaders will efficiently and securely pack and load your belongings.
Our many storage options are ideal for long distance relocations. In order to best serve you, we have a variety of storage services that can meet your requirements.
In order to avoid additional charges during the interstate move, you must:
- Know the layout of your new neighborhood or apartment complex
- Find out whether the destination area can accommodate a large truck
- Find out the building restrictions in advance (stairs, narrow drive-in, etc’)
- Make arrangements about walkway/elevator access

It is not the responsibility of the moving company to research the destination area and to make appropriate move-in arrangements. Therefore, the better you are prepared the smother is your move! |
