Finding the best long distance movers for your specific destination state can prove to be a daunting task. With so many companies offering their services, how can you select the best long distance movers? We are here to help you learn more so you can choose the best movers for you.
Understanding Long Distance Moving
Long distance moving is normally done with 50’ trailers that transport household goods across state lines. In order to make such moves more affordable, several shipments are combined to be shipped in a single trailer, according to the destination states and trailer route. The pickup is normally done with a regular truck.
In order to find the best long distance movers, you will need to make sure the companies you are considering have enough experience is covering the area you will be relocating to. Also, double check the fact that the movers own their own trailers and perform their own long distance deliveries.
Understanding Long Distance Pricing
Because several shipments are combined on the same 50’ trailer, the charges for long distance moving are determined according to the amount of space or weight of your haul.
The truck will be weighed before and after the movers load it with your household goods in order to determine the actual weight of your shipment.
Alternatively, the movers will measure the exact amount of space your shipment will take on the delivery trailer. This is why selecting the best long distance movers involves determining the basic charge unit that the relocation company offers you. Each company should provide you with a specific rate per pound, for weight based long distance moves, and with a specific rate per cubic foot for space based long distance moves.
