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.

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.

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.
