Few life events are as stressful as a major relocation — and moving cross country is one of the biggest. At Poseidon Moving & Storage, our experienced movers understand every detail and challenge that comes with relocating to a new state.
You’ve already done the hard part: made the decision, found your new home, maybe even started your next career move. Now, you’ve come to the right place. Our expert team will handle the rest — carefully packing, loading, and transporting your belongings so you can focus on what matters most.
With Poseidon by your side, as one of the best rated cross country moving companies, you’ll experience an organized, stress free move with full door to door service no matter the distance in between.
Everything You Need from a Cross Country Moving Company
Every successful cross country move starts with a plan. From your very first consultation and quote, our team learns exactly what you need and builds a move around your schedule, budget, and priorities. Once your details are confirmed, a dedicated move coordinator maps out your pickup, delivery, and logistics to make sure everything runs smoothly.
On moving day, our crew arrives prepared. Each item is wrapped, padded, and inventoried before loading, ensuring it’s protected every mile of the way. You’ll receive real-time tracking updates while your shipment is in transit, and when it arrives, our team handles delivery and setup so your new space feels like home from the moment we’re done.
Here’s how we tailor every move to fit your exact needs:
● Residential cross country moves tailored for houses, condos, and apartments — handled with care from packing to placement.
● Commercial relocations managed to minimize downtime, protect equipment, and keep operations running smoothly.
● Professional packing and unpacking services using premium-grade materials for total protection during coast-to-coast transit.
● Secure storage solutions — short or long term — in climate-controlled facilities across the U.S.
We ensure all your furniture is wrapped securely for maximum protection during the move. Items included:
- ✅ Couches
- ✅ Chairs
- ✅ Mattresses
- ✅ Bed frames
- ✅ Dressers
- ✅ Tables
- ✅ Shelving units
- ✅ Cabinets
We’ll disassemble your large furniture for safe transport and reassemble it upon arrival. Items include:
- ✅ Bed frames
- ✅ Tables
- ✅ Armoires
- ✅ China cabinets
- ✅ Shelving units
- ✅ Desks
To ensure maximum protection for your belongings, we provide five specialty moving boxes at no extra charge for fragile, valuable, or uniquely shaped items. These boxes must be pre-ordered before your move date to guarantee availability.
- ✅ TV Box
- ✅ Picture/Mirror Box
- ✅ Wardrobe Box
- ✅ Lamp Box
- ✅ Mattress Box
Loading: Our team carefully loads your items, ensuring they are safely secured and properly strapped inside the truck to prevent any movement during transport.
Unloading: Upon delivery, we’ll unwrap your items, place them exactly where you want, and ensure everything is set up to your satisfaction.
All transportation costs are covered in your flat rate. This includes:
- ✅ Fuel
- ✅ Tolls
- ✅ Travel Expenses
We include basic liability coverage to protect your items during the move. This ensures standard reimbursement for any damages incurred, following industry regulations.
Are Cross Country Movers Regulated?
Yes all property carriers are federally regulated, and must be properly licensed to legally transport household goods across state lines. Any mover handling a move between states is required to register with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and follow federal guidelines designed to protect consumers.
Poseidon Moving & Storage is fully licensed and insured to handle cross country relocations. Our team operates in compliance with FMCSA regulations, helping ensure your belongings are transported safely, legally, and responsibly from pickup to delivery.
Working with a licensed carrier helps reduce the risk of common moving issues such as hidden fees, surprise price increases, or missing inventory. Legitimate movers are required to provide clear documentation, accurate inventories, and transparent pricing before the move begins, along with proper insurance coverage and safety standards.
With Poseidon, every move includes documented inventories, clearly defined service terms, and full compliance with federal transportation requirements. From your initial quote through final delivery, our process is designed to give you confidence and peace of mind so you can focus on your move, not the logistics.

Wow, what an incredible experience working with Poseidon moving. They were very professional, very affordable for my move, nothing was damaged, and all was tracked online. I really really highly reccommend Poseidon movers. It took me 6 companies quotes to find the best one! I move from East Boston to Asheville NC in mid Sept. Thank you Poseidon for the incredible move!

Booking Poseidon Moving services couldn't have been easier and the attention given couldn't have been topped. Oleg was a great communicator and we got plenty of emailed information on what to expect moving day and how to best prepare for it. On moving day, communication with the moving crew was clear and concise. The moving team was careful with our belongings and efficient moving things out and into our new place. Couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Poseidon just moved my furniture from Boston to San Francisco, and they did an amazing job. They took great care packing my furniture with padding and blankets, and everything arrived in perfect condition. They stuck to their pick-up and delivery dates, and the upfront pricing was spot on—no surprise charges. The whole experience far exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!

They really have a very nice team. I have used their services not once but twice. First time within Massachusetts and Second time Massachusetts to New Jersey. They are a thouroughly professional team at affordable price. We can rely on them and they are flexible enough with our travel plans. I opted for full packing, they patiently listened and attended to each of household items with care. I can recommend them to any. They ease your tensions and get things done one time. I am always grateful to this team
