Long-Distance Moving

We've engineered long-distance moving to be the simplest part of your relocation.

We've stripped the friction out of long-distance moving. Your senior coordinator stays the same person from quote to final signature. Your price is in writing before we load the first box, and binding estimates are available on most qualifying interstate moves. And because we hold both carrier and broker authority, we price your move two ways, on our own equipment or with a preferred carrier at volume rates, and quote you the better number. The FMCSA-authorized carrier hauling your goods is named on your paperwork before move day, never swapped in at the last minute without your knowledge.

Whether you're crossing two states or coast-to-coast, we'll handle the logistics: COIs for your buildings, packing crews if you need them, custom crating for art and antiques, climate-controlled storage in transit, and on-time, white-glove delivery. The hardest part of your move should be picking which window to put the couch under.

Two ways to ship your household across state lines.

Most long-distance moves fall into one of two service tiers. We'll match you to the right one based on your timeline, budget, and the items in your inventory.

01

Consolidated Long-Distance

The most popular option for budget-conscious cross-country moves. Your shipment shares a 53-foot trailer with one or two other vetted households heading the same direction. You'll get a 3–10 day delivery window depending on distance, with a written price that's typically 20–35% lower than dedicated service.

02

Dedicated Express

A truck reserved exclusively for your move, direct from origin to destination with no other stops. Best for tight timelines, executive relocations, fragile shipments, and full-truckload households. Pickup and delivery dates are firm, and most cross-country dedicated runs land in 2–5 days.

What's included

What's included in every long-distance AmeriSafe move.

Your price is in writing before the truck rolls. Every AmeriSafe long-distance move is built on the following:

  • Single point of contact from booking through final delivery, your senior coordinator
  • Written, itemized estimate, every service priced up front, total set before the truck rolls
  • FMCSA-licensed (USDOT 3341650 · MC 1066696) and fully insured, released and full-value coverage available
  • Vetted crews and DOT-inspected equipment, the hauling carrier named on your paperwork before move day
  • Photo-documented inventory of every item we touch
  • Same-day status updates from your coordinator on the day of delivery
  • Optional packing, unpacking, custom crating, and storage, coordinated under one quote
  • Clean walls, floors, and doorways at both ends, protected with runners, pads, and bumpers

Binding pricing

A binding estimate: one number, locked before move day.

Most moving-day horror stories start with a vague estimate that becomes a bigger bill at delivery. AmeriSafe quotes qualifying interstate moves as a binding estimate: every service itemized up front, the total locked in writing, and changes only by signed addendum. Your coordinator confirms in writing whether your route and inventory qualify.

Locked in writing before the truck rolls

  • Your binding estimate is a fixed total for the inventory and services listed, signed before move day
  • The agreed price at pickup cannot be changed at delivery
  • No weight-based "true-up" invoice, no fuel-surcharge escalation, no delivery-day renegotiation
  • Binding means binding — it is the FMCSA term, and when it is on your paperwork, it is enforceable

Every service itemized up front

  • Packing, custom crating, and specialty handling, quoted as line items you approve before booking
  • Building access, stairs, long carries, and shuttle trucks, surveyed and priced into the estimate
  • Storage-in-transit and redelivery, on the same estimate, not a surprise addendum
  • You see and approve every line before you sign. Nothing appears for the first time on the final bill.

Care standards on every move

  • Furniture wrapped in moving blankets; mattresses in plastic protection
  • Beds, tables, and standard furniture disassembled and reassembled
  • Floors, wall corners, hallways, and doorways protected at both homes
  • Photo-documented inventory at pickup and delivery

What can change the price (only you can)

  • Adding items that were not on your signed inventory
  • Adding services (packing, storage, specialty handling) after the estimate is signed
  • Changing the move date in a way that requires re-routing
  • Every change goes through a signed addendum, never a delivery-day surprise

Long-Distance Moving, frequently asked questions

How much does a long-distance move cost?

For moves over 500 miles, AmeriSafe's written estimates typically run $2,000–$5,800 for a 1-bedroom, $3,000–$9,000 for a 2-bedroom, and $4,500–$13,500 for a 3-bedroom home, depending on distance. Binding estimates are available on most qualifying interstate moves: a fixed total for the inventory and services listed, locked in writing before the truck rolls. Fuel, tolls, and labor are built in, and access needs like stairs, long carries, and shuttle trucks are surveyed up front and priced into the estimate, so nothing changes on move day unless your inventory does. You pay for the truck space your move actually needs, and consolidated service typically runs 20–35% less than a dedicated truck.

How long does a long-distance move take?

Dedicated Express service runs on firm pickup and delivery dates, with most cross-country hauls arriving in 4–7 days. Consolidated shipments get a 3–10 day delivery window depending on distance. Your coordinator confirms the window in writing before booking and keeps you posted with status updates through delivery day.

What is the difference between consolidated and dedicated long-distance moving?

Consolidated means your shipment shares a 53-foot trailer with one or two other vetted households heading the same direction, with a 3–10 day delivery window, and it typically runs 20–35% cheaper. Dedicated Express reserves a truck exclusively for your move, direct from origin to destination with firm dates. Dedicated is best for tight timelines, fragile shipments, and full-truckload households.

Does the estimate really cover everything, or are there add-on charges later?

Your written estimate is a fixed total for the inventory and services listed, locked in writing before the truck rolls, and it changes only by a signed addendum you approve. Fuel, tolls, labor, furniture protection, and full photo inventory documentation are built in, and services like disassembly and reassembly, stairs, long carries up to 200 feet, and shuttle trucks are surveyed and itemized into the estimate up front. COIs for your buildings are free. There are no weight-based true-up invoices or fuel surcharges after delivery.

How far in advance should I book a long-distance move?

Book 4–6 weeks ahead during peak summer season and 2–3 weeks ahead the rest of the year. If your timeline is shorter, AmeriSafe holds last-minute capacity and can typically dispatch a truck within 48–72 hours of a confirmed booking.
