Long distance moving poses a series of challenges for both the moving customer and the relocation company. Long distance moving essentially involves two different moves. The first one is the pickup from the origin state. Most of the times, the pickup is done with a regular moving truck. The delivery stage of the long distance move involves transferring the shipment to a 50′ trailer and distributing various shipments in several delivery points.
