Moving companies define ‘long-distance moves’ as moves that require crossing state lines. This is why you will hear them referred to as interstate moves or cross-country moves. Preparing for a long-distance move should include getting three moving quotes from different companies.
Since the moving industry offers various pricing models, it’s crucial to find a company that provides transparent quotes. If a company charges you for an estimate or doesn’t provide an estimate, that is a red flag to avoid.
The pricing of long-distance moves is highly variable based on several factors, such as the distance, the size of your home or office, the number of items you need to be moved and the weight of those items. According to USNews.com, “long-distance moves can range from $2,000 to $5,000, depending on the distance and amount of belongings.”

Move.org explains, “Additional services, also known as “accessorial services,” are all the different jobs a moving company can perform for you—aside from delivering your things from point A to B.“ Long-distance moving generally includes services like loading and unloading, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and transportation. However, additional services like packing, estate cleanout, and warehouse storage will come at extra costs.
At Triangle Movers, our long-distance moves include careful loading and unloading of your prepacked items by our professionally trained movers and transporting your belongings in a padded moving truck. We also offer free disassembly and reassembly of all furniture items. Along with regular inclusions, we provide extra services, such as packing and warehouse storage, at an additional cost. In addition, Triangle Movers offers specialty moves, including senior moves, antiques moves, dorm room moves, and estate moveouts. “Our goal is to meet the unique needs of each client with precision and care,” states our owner, Jack Eschbacher, emphasizing the personalized service Triangle Movers offers.
Protection of belongings during the move is achieved through padded moving vans and trucks, moving blankets and dollies, specialized boxes, and careful loading and unloading by professional movers. Many full-service moving companies offer packing and unpacking services at an additional cost. Moving.com says that professional packers “are responsible for expertly wrapping and boxing up the items in a household. Packing isn’t a once-in-a-blue-moon activity for them — it’s their job.”
Triangle Movers provides these standard protective measures and free disassembly and reassembly of furniture to ensure safe transport. As a full-service moving company, we offer optional partial or full-service packing and unpacking services.
If you purchase our packing services, our professional packers will come to you a few days before your move. We come armed with top-quality packing supplies to ensure all items, fragile or not, are secure and ready for transport. “We treat your belongings with the utmost care, as if they were our own,” assures our owner, Jack Eschbacher.

In the moving industry, “insurance” is often referred to as “valuation.” Moving.com tells us, “Valuation coverage is the amount of liability that your moving company is willing to accept in the case that your belongings become damaged or lost during a move.” This type of coverage plays a pivotal role in protecting your belongings by setting clear limits on the company’s liability, ensuring that both parties have a mutual understanding of compensation for any potential losses. There are two main types of moving valuation: limited liability coverage and full value protection.
Triangle Movers offers both options, giving you the flexibility to choose the level of protection that fits your needs. “We’re here to help you feel confident and secure in your moving choices, ensuring peace of mind every step of the way,” says our owner, Jack Eschbacher. If you have any questions about our moving valuation, please call us at (845) 566-0288. You can also fill out our contact form, and we will be in touch with you shortly.
The length of time for a long-distance move depends on factors like home or office size, distance, and the number of items that need moving. Because of this, no two long-distance moves are the same. However, the majority of long-distance moves take three to fourteen days. If your new home or office is over 1700 miles away, your long-distance move could take up to three weeks. MoveBuddha explains, “If you’re moving three bedrooms cross-country with a moving container company, it could take over a month.”

Quality moving companies employ background-checked, professionally trained teams to handle all moves, including moving fragile and valuable items. Some moving companies hire seasonal workers during the busy summer months, the peak moving season. This is something to be aware of, but reliable and trustworthy moving companies should also background check seasonal employees if they have them.
Most moving companies use careful methods to transport fragile and valuable items. They often use specialized packing materials like bubble wrap and foam padding, which offer additional protection. Items are securely packed to prevent movement that could cause damage. During loading and unloading, trained professionals handle these items with extra care. They also place them strategically in the truck to avoid shifts during the move. Move.org states, “Moving crews are trained to pack all your belongings correctly, especially the high-value ones.”
Triangle Movers offers specialized services for moving fragile and valuable items like antiques and gun safes. Our meticulous training ensures that our team handles your valuable items carefully. We prioritize expert moving training for our moving crew.
All of our movers are permanent employees that passed a background check, some of whom have been with us for over a decade. “We take great pride in the professionalism and dedication of our team, ensuring they meet the high standards our customers expect,” states our owner, Jack Eschbacher.

Most moving companies provide a valuation claim form and a contact point if an issue arises. A final walk-through and audit before you sign off on the move are often essential to ensure everything is in good shape. This way, you can immediately alert your company if something gets lost or damaged.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and federal law require moving companies to have a USDOT license for long-distance moves. The FMCSA states, “Companies that operate commercial vehicles transporting passengers or hauling cargo in interstate commerce must be registered with the FMCSA and must have a USDOT Number.” Many companies also partner with van lines, like Bekins Van Lines, as one of hundreds of interstate agents who work together on long-distance moves. If a moving company is an interstate van line agent, they can operate under their van line’s USDOT license.
A company that moves long distances should have its USDOT number on its website prominently. In order to have the best moving experience possible, it is essential to partner with a licensed moving company. For more tips on how to make your move stress-free, the FMCSA created a moving checklist to help you out.
Triangle Movers, an interstate agent of Bekins Van Lines, complies with all legal requirements and industry standards. We operate under Bekins’ USDOT license (2256609), our New York State DOT license (33402), and our Motor Carrier license (MC 770031).
