You Deserve a Top-Rated Moving Company. Here We Are.
Maybe you’ve already moved once or twice. Maybe you’ve helped a friend with some packing and boxing. But this… this is gonna be a long haul, and it takes more than just a few old amazon boxes and your uncle’s truck to make your long distance move a success. It’s time to call the pros.
Long distance movers come equipped with tools, training, and certification. But there’s only one moving company that can really call themselves the best, out of all the 20,000+ movers across the country.

Sound good? We thought so too. Book your move with the best mover in the business, and read on to see what makes us so great.
What Makes Moving APT a Top-Rated Mover?
Customized Moving
A one-size-fits-all moving plan sounds nice, but you’ll end up paying for a bunch for services you don’t need. Every move is different, so we let you pick and choose your options and add-ons.
Transparent Pricing
You don’t like hidden fees. We don’t like ‘em either. We keep our quotes clear, and we keep our quotes binding. You’ll always know what you’ll owe.
Nationwide Network
What good is a long distance mover if they don’t have a nationwide network? We’ve got over 500 agents across the country, ready to help you plan and coordinate the whole process.
Our Long Distance Moving Services
We think every move deserves a custom solution. That’s why Moving APT offers a wide range of awesome add-ons and extras. We let you choose what you need, so you don’t get charged for all the other stuff.
Full-Service Moving - Cross Country and Long Distance
You’ve dealt with enough moving-day BS. It’s time to treat yourself. Full-service moving is the choice for you.
When you book a full-service move with the best out-of-state movers, you’re getting a team that’ll take care of EVERYTHING. All of your packing? That’s Moving APT. All of the heavy lifting, loading, and hauling. Yeah, that’s Moving APT, too. A full-service move means you can sit back, relax, and let us handle the hard stuff. And whether it’s across the state line or across the whole country, we’ll be managing, preparing, and packing up for the whole stretch.
Full Packing Services
DIY packing is something starving college students do. And if you’re a starving college student, don’t worry – it won’t cost as much as you think.
Everyone’s got a horror story about that time they tried to pack up their own stuff. Running out of boxes. Running out of tape. Breaking fragile items because someone on the internet said, “Two t-shirts is totally enough padding, bro, trust us.” At a certain point, you’ve gotta trust the pros and let state-to-state moving companies handle it. It’ll cost a few bucks, but you’ll save time, energy, and sanity.
Storage Solutions
No matter how much you try to minimize, reduce your clutter, and downsize, downsize, downsize, there’s still too much stuff. And when you move to your new place? You’ll still need time to get situated.
Storage solutions can give you a lot of much-needed flexibility, before, during, and after the big day. Moving APT offers storage, and what’s more, we’re one of the only places that offers full-service storage. Instead of making a trip (or two, or three) to a storage unit, we’ll keep your excess belongings at a secure, on-site location. Then, we’ll deliver it to you when you need it.
Loading and Unloading
Still trying to DIY? We won’t get in your way, but we’ll do everything we can to save your spine.
We can respect the grind of a DIY move. Heck, we can respect the grind of a *partial* DIY move. It takes a lot of work, and it takes a lot of organization, time, and tears. But when it comes to your heaviest items (think refrigerators, pool tables, pianos, and more), you can’t ego-lift your way through it. Get in touch with Moving APT, and we’ll send some backup. We’ll get it on the truck for you, and then we’ll get out of your hair.
Shuttle Services
It’s moving day. Your movers have packed and wrapped everything, and they’ve loaded it all in one giant trailer. Next, they’ll use a big rig for the long haul: a monster of a semi-truck that would make Mad Max proud. But you know who’s not a fan of big rigs? City council.
Unfortunately, your movers won’t always be allowed to park that giant truck at your doorstep. In most cases, they’ll have to park on the outskirts of town, and use a smaller shuttle truck to move that last mile or two. Fortunately, Moving APT out-of-state movers can handle it.
Last Minute Moving
We’ll ask you plenty of questions to make sure you’re getting the services you need, but we won’t ask too much about WHY you need to move in the first place. Whether it’s a psycho roommate, a surprise job offer, or just a burning desire to get out of town, we offer last-minute moving for every occasion.
Last minute moving can be tricky. Most movers will only allow it if they’ve had recent cancellations on the same route. But at Moving APT, we think everyone should be allowed to move whenever they want. Just get in touch with us today, and we’ll get you moved yesterday.
Additional Services
We also offer expert furniture disassembly and reassembly, specialty item moving with white-glove care, and custom crating for valuable or delicate items.
Disassembly and Reassembly
You probably threw out those IKEA instructions as soon as you put the final bolt in that. Don’t worry. At Moving APT, we know our way around all kinds of furniture - Nordic and otherwise. We’ll disassemble, flat-pack, and reassemble with care, no meatballs required.
Specialty Item Moving
If it needs some extra TLC, we’re ready to provide all the care you need. The Moving APT team offers white-glove service that goes beyond just packing and hauling. For all those high-value items, we can send specialized teams with the right gear and equipment to keep it extra safe and secure.
Custom Crating
If it doesn’t fit in a box, we’ll build a completely custom box around it. Art, antiques, and even oddball stuff like vintage motorcycles - the list goes on. (And if that vintage motorcycle is a Harley, odds are you’ll want it transported in a box so it doesn’t break down anyways.)
Here’s How a Long Distance Move with Moving APT Works
We can talk all day about how we’re a top-rated moving company, but when the rubber hits the road, we can walk the walk, too. Moving APT can handle every step of the process for you, and it all starts with your quote.

We’ll coordinate with our movers to make sure they’re providing the service you expected, and we’ll make sure they show up on time and with minimal fuss. And when we’ve finished the long haul and unpacked the last of your boxes? We’ll make sure you have all the post-move support you need while you get settled in.

How Much Does it Cost to Move Long-Distance?
A long-distance move typically costs between $3,200 and $10,500, but the final price depends on factors like how much you’re moving and how far you’re going. The farther the distance and the more items you’re relocating, the higher the cost.
Larger homes or special items often increase the cost, as they require more time, packing materials, and specialized handling.
Keep in mind that additional services such as packing, storage, or vehicle shipping can also impact the final price. For an exact estimate tailored to your needs, Moving APT can provide you with a free, customized quote.

1500 miles | $3,200 – $4,500 | $4,200 – $6,000 | $6,000 – $8,500 |
2000 miles | $3,500 – $4,800 | $4,500 – $6,500 | $6,500 – $9,000 |

Long Distance Moving FAQs
A long distance move can cost you anywhere from $3,200 to $10,500. We’ve seen a few that were cheaper or more expensive, but the $3,200 to $10,500 range covers most of the bases.
The final price of your move depends on how far you have to go, and how much you have to move. The distance is calculated in miles. As for the amount, that comes down to your movers: Some will create inventory lists, some do in-home estimates. Either way, they’ll assign a weight (in pounds) or a volume (in cubic feet) to all your stuff.
Long distance moving takes between 1 and 21 days. Part of this is due to federal rules and regulations, since drivers aren’t allowed to log more than 400 miles of interstate travel per day. But a big part of the duration of your move comes down to how far you’re going, and how much you’re hauling.
Most people think smaller moves will be done faster. However, moving companies don’t like to send half-empty trucks all over the place. That’s a lot of wasted gas. Instead, they’ll wait until they have a full load, and take care of multiple moves on the same route. It saves you money, and your stuff will be safely separated in the truck or trailer. But, it’ll take a bit longer thanks to those dropoffs and deliveries.
Local moving is anything under 100 miles and within the same state. Long distance moving is anything over 100 miles or across state lines (even if the state line is a mile away). Long distance movers need extra licensing and certifications to conduct interstate operations.
Peak moving season has historically been the summer. June, July, and August always saw the highest demand (and therefore the highest prices). Lately, we’ve seen May and September get pretty heated, too. Basically, any time the kids are out of school is gonna be a bad time for booking a move. Try to book mid-week, mid-month, and far away from major holidays.
The cost of your long distance move comes down to mileage and the amount of stuff you’re transporting, so it makes sense to trim down the “amount of stuff” part as much as possible. Garage sales are great. So is Facebook marketplace, as long as you’re safe and avoid the serial killers. Heck, you can even just regift that quesadilla maker. You know it was regifted once already anyways.
