Costs for Long Distance Moving

Costs for long-distance moving vary based on a number of factors. The number one factor that will affect your moving costs is weight/ size. The more you have the more expensive your price will be.

However, moving is a great time to purge, so we recommend creating a list of what you need and getting rid of the rest.

A quick google search can confuse you. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of called long-distance moving companies out there. However, you need to understand the difference between a broker and a moving company. Although brokering moves is not illegal, it is owned upon for a few reasons. The first is that you will have no clue who’s actually making your move. The second is a liability.

A broker is legally not responsible if something goes wrong with your move. If you have damages, you will need to take it up with the actual moving company who performed your move. It’s always best to find a mover who can handle the entire aspect of your move.

Always check the DOT SAFER website and use your discretion. If you feel like you’re being scammed or pressured, you should look elsewhere.
