Long distance moving and storage involves the transfer of household of commercial goods across state lines. This Alpha Moving and Storage article provides some basic essential information about long distance moving and storage.
Everything you need to Know about Long Distance Moving and Storage – Pricing
In order to get a great price for your long distance move, you will need to better understand how state-to-state relocation works and how it is charged. Moving companies use 50′ tractor-trailers in order to conduct long distance moving. This allows them to combine several shipments, thus lowering the costs involved. The basic charge unit is calculated according to the amount of space your goods will take on the trailer. Almost all relocation companies use either a price per pound or a price per cubic foot in order to calculate the exact costs.

For weight-based estimates, the mover weighs the truck before and after it is loaded. The difference is the weight of the shipment. Then the total weight is multiplied by the pre-agreed on price per pound.
With space-based estimates, the mover calculates the exact amount of space your goods take on the moving truck, then multiply the total space by the pre-agreed on price per cubic foot.
Everything you need to know about Long Distance Moving and Storage – Delivery
Delivery times depend on the particular delivery state, seasonal considerations, volume and so on. The mover will request you for your first available delivery date. Then the mover will give you a delivery window, normally between one week and twenty-one days. If you are not yet ready for your delivery, the moving company can offer you short, or long-term storage. If you need storage services, it is recommended that you pay a visit to your mover’s storage facility.

Alpha was fantastic! Leading up to the move, they communicated well and were very accommodating when we needed to change our move date, add additional items, … More etc. On the day of the move, the 4-man crew was prompt and worked quickly and diligently to disassemble and wrap furniture and load all our possessions onto their large truck with care. We had many heavy boxes and bins, several of which were located in a basement down a narrow staircase. The crew had a great attitude and asked questions when necessary. Compared to other moving companies, Alpha was more reasonably priced and well worth it. I would enthusiastically recommend Alpha for any local moving needs!
