Long-Distance Moving Options
Not sure which long-distance solution is best for your upcoming move? Let’s provide more detail on our options to help you determine which service to move forward with.
Expedited Long-Distance Moving
Experience premium white-glove long-distance moving with TWO MEN AND A TRUCK’s expedited service. Your belongings travel on a dedicated truck driven by professional, background-checked movers, with a guaranteed arrival date. From start to finish, you can have peace of mind in knowing exactly where your items are throughout the journey and they are being safely transported to your new home.
Our expedited long-distance moving service is also equipped to handle high-value, specialized items to ensure they are secure throughout their journey to their new home, including:
- Pianos
- Fine art
- Collectibles
- Antiques
Crated Long-Distance Moving
If you have a smaller move, such as moving from one apartment to a new unit, and have flexibility in your arrival date, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK’s crated long-distance service can be the solution to fit your needs. This service provides affordable, professional, stress-free long-distance moving using sturdy crates and trusted teams.
The shipping crates measure at 89” L x 89” H x 47” W and can hold approximately 1,000 lbs., worth of belongings. This equates to each crate holding an averagely furnished room. The crates are loaded up with your items by the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK team in your area and placed on a third-party carrier. The crates are then shipped to the closest TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchise in your new area, where our team of professionally trained movers will unload your items.
With this crated option, you’ll receive a reduced price on long-distance shipping through efficiently-planned logistics. In exchange for a reduced price, you’re given an increased lead time on delivery.
Storage Solutions
When moving across the country, sometimes, your new home isn’t quite ready when you get into town. That’s why select TWO MEN AND A TRUCK locations offer climate-controlled short and long-term storage solutions, ranging from on-site storage plans to our vaulted storage options. Please contact your local franchise to find out if they offer storage plans.
The Cross-Country Moving Process
Now that we’ve reviewed the comparisons and options, let’s review our cross-country moving process from the very beginning of your long-distance journey to the time you enter your new home.
- Free, no-obligation estimate. When you reach out to your local TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchise, our sales team will review each room and the items you are looking to transport and any access points the move crew should be aware of (stairs, elevators, long entries). These estimates can be made other on-site, online, or over-the-phone.
- Secure your move date. Once you have been provided with an estimate, using either our expedited or crated long-distance services, it’s time to add you to our schedule. Our sales team will work to secure the move date that will work best for you.
- Packing and preparation. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK offers a full range of white-glove packing services, and can provide boxes and packing supplies for those who decide to pack up items on their own.
- Move day. Once move day officially arrives, your professionally trained, background-checked move crews will arrive at your current residence to safely load up all of your belongings to transport them to their next destination. Our teams are committed to ensure damages do not occur to your items, as well as your property, as we use door jams and floor runners to avoid scratches on walls, doors, and floors during the move.
- Delivery. After your move crew arrives at your new home, they will safely and efficiently unload all of your items into their designated rooms. Our move teams are also available to help with unpacking your items to save you time spent going through box after box (after box!).

What is the difference between local and long-distance moving?
Local moving typically takes place within a 50-mile radius, and most TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchises charge hourly for this type of move. Long-distance moves cover a much larger transit area, and typically cross state lanes. Franchises typically charge by weight for cross-country relocations.
How far in advance should I book my long-distance move?
Given the time it can take to perform a cross-country move, the best time to book is at least one month, if not a month-and-a-half, prior to your desired moving date. Moving schedules can fill up fast, so you’ll want to give yourself enough time to secure a spot on a franchise’s scheduled for your preferred move date.
