Understanding Long-Distance Moves

A long-distance move is any relocation that crosses state lines or spans over 100 miles. These moves are regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation and require licensed and insured movers to handle the logistics.

What Are “Rogue Movers”?

Unfortunately, some unlicensed moving companies operate illegally, engaging in deceptive practices such as:

Providing lowball quotes and then charging hidden fees
Holding belongings hostage until additional payments are made
Failing to deliver items on time or at all

At Ken’s Pack and Move, we operate with integrity, ensuring all federal regulations are met to protect your belongings and provide peace of mind.

How Much Does a Long-Distance Move Cost?

The cost of a long-distance move depends on multiple factors, including:

The total weight or volume of your belongings
The distance between your old and new home
Additional services such as packing, storage, or vehicle transport
Time of year (peak moving season may cost more)

Tips for a Smooth Long-Distance Move

Moving long distances requires careful planning and organization. Follow these expert tips to ensure a seamless transition:

Start Planning Early – Begin preparing for your move at least 6-8 weeks in advance to avoid last-minute stress.
Declutter & Downsize – Get rid of unwanted items before packing. Fewer items mean lower moving costs and an easier unpacking process.
Label All Boxes Clearly – Use a color-coded system to indicate which room each box belongs to. This will make unpacking faster and more efficient.
Pack an Essentials Box – Keep important items like medications, toiletries, chargers, and a change of clothes easily accessible.
Confirm Logistics with Your Movers – Double-check pickup and delivery schedules to ensure a smooth moving day.

First Night Box Checklist

Once you arrive at your new home, you won’t want to search through boxes to find necessities. Pack a first-night box with these essential items:

Toiletries – Toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, and towels
Clothing – A change of clothes and comfortable sleepwear
Medications – Any prescriptions or over-the-counter essentials
Phone & Laptop Chargers – Stay connected without hassle
Bedding – Pillows, blankets, or an air mattress if your bed isn’t set up yet
