Whether it’s a residential home or a commercial office, we offer full-service moving with professional packing, specialty item transport, vehicle shipping coordination, and climate-controlled storage when your dates don’t line up.

We also handle white-glove moves for high-value homes, executive relocations, and corporate moves coordinated directly with HR departments.

Need a Certificate of Insurance? We handle that too.

MOVING OPTIONS

Cross Country Moving Options

Not every cross country move requires the same level of service, and not every budget is the same. We offer multiple service tiers so you can choose the option that fits your timeline and financial needs.

FASTEST

Dedicated Truck

Your belongings get exclusive use of the truck with direct delivery to your destination. Fastest delivery window and no shared space.

PRIORITY

Expedited Delivery

Priority scheduling with the tightest delivery window available for your move. Best for customers who need reduced flexibility and faster turnaround.

VALUE

Shared / Consolidated

Your shipment shares truck space with other customers heading in the same direction. More affordable, with longer delivery windows and added flexibility.

BUDGET

Smart Moving

Our most budget-friendly option for small moves. Ideal for studios and one-bedroom relocations with wide flexibility on pickup and delivery windows.

WHY POSEIDON

Why Choose Poseidon for Cross Country Moving

✓

FMCSA Licensed and DOT Registered

Any company moving your belongings across state lines must be federally registered. Poseidon Moving carries active USDOT and MC credentials, meaning your shipment is legally protected during every mile of transit. You can verify our numbers on the FMCSA website before signing anything.

✓

Binding Flat-Rate Estimates, Not Ballpark Quotes

We provide a binding flat-rate estimate based on a walkthrough of your home, not a rough number over the phone. The price we give you is the price on the invoice. No weight-based surprises, no fuel surcharges, no hidden fees on delivery day.

✓

A+ BBB Rating and 5-Star Reviews Everywhere

Check Google, Yelp, and the Better Business Bureau. Our reputation is built on consistent mentions of clear communication, on-time delivery, and damage-free moves. We’ve earned that feedback over thousands of cross country relocations since 2014.

✓

One Dedicated Coordinator from Start to Finish

You won’t get sent through a call center or talk to a different person every time you call. A single coordinator handles your move from estimate to delivery — better communication, fewer mistakes, and someone who actually knows your situation.

✓

No Large Deposits Required Upfront

Legitimate movers don’t ask for cash deposits or large payments before the move. If a company pressures you for money before they’ve touched a single box, walk away. With Poseidon, you pay when the work is done — not before.

PRICING

How Much Does a Cross Country Move Cost?

The honest answer is that it depends on distance, how much you have, service level, timing, and access conditions at both ends. Any company that gives you a number without understanding your specific situation isn’t giving you a real quote. As a general benchmark, cross country moves typically range from $3,000 to $12,000+ depending on these factors.

Poseidon Moving provides binding flat-rate quotes that lock in your price before move day. Plug your details into our online quote tool and you’ll get a number in minutes. No hidden fees, no fuel surcharges, and no weight-based surprises on delivery. The number we give you is the number on the invoice.

MOVE SIZE	EST. COST
Studio	$3,000 – $4,500
1 Bedroom	$3,500 – $5,500
2 Bedroom	$4,500 – $7,500
3 Bedroom	$5,500 – $9,000
4+ Bedroom	$7,000 – $12,000+

TIMELINE

Cross Country Moving Timeline

Understanding how long a cross country move takes helps you plan your arrival, coordinate housing, and set expectations with employers or schools. Here’s what a typical timeline looks like with Poseidon Moving.

✓

Booking to Move Day (6–8 weeks)

Your coordinator finalizes your belongings list, confirms access at both locations, and locks in your service plan.

✓

Packing and Loading (1–2 days)

Our crew handles packing, wrapping, disassembly, and loading. Everything is labeled before the truck departs.

✓

Transit Time (3–14 business days)

Delivery windows depend on distance and service type. A dedicated truck may arrive in 3–5 days. Shared shipments can take 7–14 business days.

✓

Delivery and Setup (half day to full day)

The crew unloads, unwraps, reassembles furniture, and places everything where you want it. A final walkthrough confirms everything arrived complete.

QUESTIONS

Cross Country Moving Questions Answered

A Poseidon quote includes loading, transport, unloading, and basic furniture protection. Packing, unpacking, specialty crating, and storage are available as add-ons and are clearly itemized so you can see exactly what you\u2019re paying for. Our binding estimates mean the price you\u2019re quoted is the price you pay.

Transit times range from 3 to 14 business days depending on distance and service type. Dedicated trucks on shorter lanes arrive fastest, while shared shipments and coast-to-coast moves fall at the longer end. Your coordinator provides a specific delivery window when you book.

Yes. We regularly transport pianos, fine art, antiques, wine collections, and oversized furniture across the country. Each piece gets a custom protection plan based on its dimensions, material, and value. Specialty items are flagged during the estimate walkthrough so there are no surprises on move day.

Yes. We offer short-term, long-term, and storage-in-transit options for customers who need time between their move-out and move-in dates. Your belongings stay in secure, climate-appropriate facilities and can be delivered to your new home whenever you\u2019re ready.

Start planning early. Book your movers 6 to 8 weeks in advance, declutter before you pack, and keep important documents and valuables with you rather than on the truck. Make sure your moving company is DOT-registered and provides a binding estimate. Use a moving checklist to stay on track with utilities, address changes, and school or work transitions.

For most people, yes. When you factor in truck rental, fuel, lodging, meals, insurance gaps, potential damage, and the physical labor of loading and unloading a full household, the cost of professional movers is often comparable and sometimes lower. The difference is that you arrive at your new home with your belongings intact and your energy focused on settling in, not recovering from the drive.

You can request a free estimate through our website or by calling our team directly. We\u2019ll schedule a virtual or in-person walkthrough of your home, review your belongings, discuss your timeline and service preferences, and provide a binding flat-rate quote within 24 hours. There\u2019s no obligation and no pressure.
