Benefits Of Hiring A Long-Distance Moving Company
We all know that making a long-distance move differs from making a local move. What you may not know, however, is just how different the two types of relocations are.
First, long-distance moving comes with so much responsibility and paperwork. You’ll have to:
- Change your address early enough to re-route your mail and packages.
- Shut down all active utilities at your current place and sign up for the essential ones at your new home well in advance.
- Collect necessary medical, school, or vet records for your family. And so on.
Hiring professional interstate or cross-country movers, like us, allows you to handle all the crucial tasks without worrying about the actual move.
Second, shifting from one state to another might take days or weeks. Getting reliable movers makes the entire process easy, effective, and efficient. The best long-distance movers often take the least time possible to move. They’re also generally better trained to handle any issues that may arise during transportation.
Third, there are more risks involved in long-distance relocation compared to local moving. The chances of losing your property or incurring damages during transportation are higher. To prevent this, the law requires all long-distance moving companies to have various licenses and documentation, including:
- Proper registration with FMCSA – the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. FMCSA offers the Interstate Operating Authority, identified as the MC Number, to long-distance movers
- A U.S. DOT. Number, which ensures safety compliance
- Adequate insurance

Interstate movers are required, by law, to provide you with FMSCA’s consumer protection publication – Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move. The most reliable cross-country movers understand this and will often follow all the federal laws and regulations governing long-distance to the latter.
