Interstate moves are typically priced based on the weight of your shipment and the distance traveled, plus any additional services such as packing or storage. We provide a binding or not-to-exceed estimate in writing so you know your costs before the move begins.

What Sets a Long Distance Move Apart
Long distance moves involve more variables, more distance, and more opportunity for something to go wrong if the process is not managed carefully. Scheduling has to account for pickup windows, transit time, and delivery coordination at a destination you may not have visited yet. Your belongings spend more time in transit, which means packing and protection matter more. And unlike a local move where you can go back for something you forgot, a long distance move requires getting it right the first time.
As an Interstate Agent for Bekins Van Lines, we have the systems and network in place to coordinate every stage of your move. Bekins is one of the most established names in interstate moving, and its agent network provides the infrastructure for long distance moves that individual companies cannot match on their own.
Every long distance move starts with a thorough in-home or virtual estimate. We document your inventory in detail, identify anything requiring specialty handling, and build a realistic timeline that accounts for all variables. You receive a written estimate that reflects the actual cost of your move.
A Team You Can Reach When It Matters
One of the most common frustrations with long distance moving is losing contact with your moving team once the truck leaves. You are not sure where your belongings are, when they will arrive, or who to call if something comes up. We address that directly. Your move has a dedicated point of contact throughout the process, and you have direct access to our team from pickup through delivery.
We handle packing for long distance moves with extra care, because items in transit for multiple days face more risk than those moving across town. Custom crating is available for artwork, antiques, and high-value pieces. Climate-controlled transport options are available for items sensitive to temperature changes during transit.

How We Handle Your Long Distance Move
Long distance moves require more preparation than local ones, and we build that time into the process from the start. Every stage is planned and communicated so you know what to expect and when.
Our estimator conducts a full inventory review, documents specialty items, confirms access at your current home, and gathers destination details including building access, parking, and any scheduling restrictions. We then build a move plan with confirmed pickup and delivery windows and a clear chain of communication.
Packing and Pickup
Our packing team uses quality materials rated for long distance transport. Fragile items receive extra cushioning and are packed to handle vibration and movement over extended distances. Custom crates are built on-site for items that require them. Every box is inventoried and labeled for tracking.
Pickup is scheduled within your confirmed window. Your belongings are loaded systematically, secured in the truck to prevent shifting in transit, and documented before departure. You receive a copy of the inventory before the truck leaves.
Delivery and Setup
At your destination, we coordinate delivery within the confirmed window and contact you in advance to confirm timing. Our crew unloads and places furniture where you want it, reassembles anything taken apart for transport, and completes a final walkthrough with you before wrapping up.
If your new home is not ready for delivery, your belongings go into secure climate-controlled storage at no charge for up to 60 days. Delivery is scheduled when you are ready.
