Best Long Distance Movers Nationwide

Poseidon Moving is a licensed and insured long-distance moving company. A long-distance move is any relocation over 100 miles, whether it stays inside one state, crosses into a neighboring state, or runs across the country from coast to coast. We handle all three with flat-rate pricing, a binding estimate, and the exact same crew standards on a 150-mile move as on a 3,000-mile one.

Our long-distance movers combine a nationwide network with the personalized care of a dedicated move coordinator who manages your relocation from start to finish. We provide full door-to-door service for residential and commercial moves—handling the packing, loading, transport, and placing everything exactly where you want it in your new space.

Types of Long Distance Moves We Specialize In

In-State Long Distance Moves

Moves of more than 100 miles that start and end in the same state, such as Los Angeles to San Francisco or Miami to Orlando. These are long-distance moves, not local moves, and are priced by shipment size and distance rather than by the hour.

Interstate Moves

An interstate move is a long-distance relocation that crosses from one state into another, whether that is the next state over or several states away. Our interstate movers cover all 48 contiguous states.

Cross Country Moves

A cross-country move is a long-distance relocation that crosses several states, as far as coast to coast. Our cross-country movers handle the complex logistics of a national relocation to keep your delivery on schedule.

Flexible Long Distance Transit Options

The right transportation plan ultimately comes down to your specific shipment size, budget, and delivery timeline. To accommodate different schedules, we offer two distinct transit options so you can choose the perfect balance of speed and cost for your relocation.

Dedicated Truck

Reserve an entire truck exclusively for your move. Because your belongings travel directly from your old home to your new one with no other pick-ups or drop-offs along the way, this is our fastest delivery option. Your pickup date is guaranteed, and transit time is minimized.

Shared Truck

As our standard and most cost-effective option, this allows you to share truck space with other customers heading in the exact same direction. You still get a guaranteed pickup date, but you share the transportation costs, with your belongings safely traveling on a consolidated route with standard delivery timing.

Transparent, Flat-Rate Long Distance Pricing

The most stressful part of a long-distance move is often the final bill. Many national carriers use variable weight-based pricing, which means your final cost can suddenly spike at the weigh station while your belongings are en route.

We utilize a comprehensive flat-rate pricing model. By carefully assessing your belongings and your route upfront, we provide a single, guaranteed, all-inclusive price before the truck ever arrives. This means no hidden fees, no unexpected fuel surcharges, and no weight-scale surprises, giving you total financial predictability for your move.

How Our Long-Distance Moving Process Works

Home Assessment

You give us a detailed look at your home, either through an in-person walk-through or a guided virtual survey, so we understand exactly what needs to be moved.

Flat-Rate Proposal

Based on the home assessment, we provide a guaranteed, all-inclusive flat-rate quote.

Packing and Loading

On moving day, our dedicated crew arrives to pack, protect, wrap, and load your belongings using secure, long-haul transit techniques.

Transit and Delivery

Depending on whether you chose a Dedicated or Shared truck, your belongings are transported to your new state. We coordinate closely with you on delivery windows and handle the complete unloading and placement in your new home.

Long Distance Moving Questions Answered

How far ahead should I book a long-distance move?

Six to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of pickup dates. Dates fill faster from late spring through summer and at the end of each month, so book earlier if your move falls then.

What can’t go on the moving truck?

Anything flammable, corrosive, or pressurized stays off the truck, including propane tanks, gasoline, paint, aerosol cans, pool chemicals, and fireworks. Perishable food and houseplants don’t hold up over several days in a closed truck, and some states restrict bringing plants in. If you aren’t sure about an item, ask us before move day.

What should I keep with me instead of on the truck?

Carry IDs and passports, important documents, jewelry, medication, laptops, chargers, and keys yourself. Add a few days of clothes and everyday basics, since your belongings may arrive after you do.

Do I need to be there for pickup and delivery?

You or an adult you trust should be at both ends. At pickup, that person walks through the home with the crew and points out anything staying behind. At delivery, they check each item as it comes off the truck and note any concerns before signing.

What if I add items after getting my quote?

Let us know as soon as anything changes. Your flat rate is based on what we saw during the home assessment, so added furniture or extra boxes mean an updated price, which we confirm with you before loading begins.

What paperwork comes with an interstate move?

Federal rules require your mover to give you the booklet “Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move” before the move. On move day, you’ll sign the bill of lading, which serves as both your contract and your receipt for the shipment. Keep your copy until everything is delivered and checked.

Frequently Asked Questions

View all

How do I get an estimate?

Choose whichever fits your schedule for a free quote or consultation.

✓Video walkthrough. A 15-minute video call, room by room. Most popular option.
✓Call us. 866-565-1516 speak with our friendly team.
✓Request a quote online. Send details and we’ll follow up.
✓Free in-person estimate. Available for homes with 2+ bedrooms.

Will my furniture be protected?

Yes. At Poseidon Moving, protecting your furniture is one of our highest priorities.

Every piece is carefully prepared before it’s moved. Our crews use heavy duty moving blankets, stretch wrap, floor protection, and proven loading techniques to help prevent scratches, dents, and shifting during transport.

If you have antiques, artwork, glass, marble, or other high-value items, we can recommend additional protection options such as custom crating or White Glove service.

Are there items you can't move?

Yes. For safety reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials or certain restricted items. These are commonly referred to as “non-allowable items.”

This includes:

•Propane tanks, gasoline, kerosene, and lighter fluid
•Paint, aerosols, household cleaners, and other hazardous chemicals
•Fireworks, ammunition, matches, and charcoal
•Living things, including plants, fish, and pets

We recommend transporting these items yourself, using them before your move, or disposing of them safely according to local regulations.

Not sure about a specific item? Just ask your Move Coordinator before moving day, and we’ll be happy to let you know if it can be transported.

Can you take down TVs and wall-mounted items?

Yes. We can remove and reinstall many wall-mounted items as part of your move.

Our crews can typically dismount and reinstall:

✓Mounted TVs
✓Artwork and mirrors
✓Shelving
✓Window air conditioners

Some installations may require additional hardware, specialized tools, or extra time, so these services may incur an additional charge.

If you know you’ll need help with wall-mounted items, let your Move Coordinator know before moving day so we can arrive fully prepared.

How much will my move cost?

Every move is unique, so the most accurate pricing starts with a personalized estimate.

✓Local Moves – Pricing depends on the size of your move, the time required, travel time, and any additional services such as packing, storage, or specialty handling. Based on your move, we’ll recommend either hourly or flat-rate pricing.
✓Long-Distance Moves – We provide binding estimates based on your inventory, the distance, logistics, and any additional services you request.

Do you provide moving supplies and equipment?

Yes. Every Poseidon Moving truck arrives fully stocked with the supplies and equipment your move may need.

✓Heavy-duty moving pads, stretch wrap, and tape
✓Dollies, hand trucks, straps, and floor protection
✓Basic tools for disassembly and reassembly

If you’re not fully packed by moving day, let us know before your move date and we’ll make sure the crew brings the packing supplies you need – boxes, dish packs, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, mirror boxes, and TV boxes.
