How long-distance pricing works
Long-distance moves factor in distance, total weight or volume, and labor on both ends. Because the variables are bigger, an accurate inventory matters even more than on a local move.
Timeline planning
Give yourself runway:
- Book 4–6+ weeks ahead when possible
- Confirm delivery windows for the destination
- Plan an essentials kit for the days in transit
- Sort paperwork: address changes, utilities, parking at both ends
