FAQ | Long Distance USA Movers

Straight Answers About Your Cross-Country Move.

Because we don’t use brokers, we don’t have to hide behind vague timelines or confusing contracts. Find out exactly how our in-house team packs your home, ships your car, and guarantees your final price.

Pricing & The Direct Carrier Advantage

Are you a moving broker or a direct carrier?

We are a 100% direct carrier. That means we handle your entire relocation in-house from start to finish. We never auction your move off to third-party companies, which means you get our dedicated trucks, our trained crews, and zero middlemen complicating the process.

Will my price jump up at the last minute?

Definitely not. Instead of weighing the truck at the end of the trip—which is how hidden fees usually sneak in—we lock in your price using an exact inventory list. As long as you don’t add more items on moving day, the flat-rate quote we give you is exactly what you pay.

Packing Services & Preparation

Do I need to pack my own boxes?

That is completely up to you. If you want a hands-off experience, our team can pack your entire home using heavy-duty supplies, shrink wrap, and moving blankets. We even build custom wooden crates for extremely fragile items. If you’d rather pack yourself, that works perfectly fine too.

Can I just buy packing supplies from you?

Yes. If you prefer to handle the boxing up, we can deliver the exact same professional-grade boxes, tape, and bubble wrap that our crews use right to your front door well before your move.

Vehicle Transportation

Can you move my car to my new state?

We certainly can. We offer nationwide auto transport, and the best part is that you can bundle your car shipment with your household move. Doing it all together is more efficient and gets you a solid discount on the entire package.

Should I use an open or enclosed trailer for my car?

For a standard daily driver, an open trailer is the most popular and budget-friendly choice. If you are moving a classic car, a luxury vehicle, or something with high value, an enclosed trailer is the way to go to keep it completely shielded from the road and weather.

Storage & Protection

What if I need a place to keep my stuff before moving into the new house?

Timeline gaps are completely normal. We offer secure, climate-controlled storage units to keep your belongings safe until you are ready for them. Every customer gets a dedicated space so nothing gets mixed up, and we will deliver everything straight to your door as soon as you have your new keys.

Is my furniture insured during the trip?

We are a fully licensed and insured carrier (US DOT 3234695), so your belongings are always protected. We offer standard Valuation Coverage as well as comprehensive Full Value Protection, letting you pick the exact level of insurance you feel best about.
