On average, a person in the U.S. can be expected to move 11.7 times in their lifetime.
With that being revealed, we assume that a lot of people would like to know more about moving, in particular, long-distance moving. The process can be overwhelming, with all that packing, loading, and finding the right moving service. So here are some of the facts you should know:
- When it comes to cross-country moving, the options you have are: rental truck, DIY packing and hiring a driver, and using a full-service moving company.
- The rates vary from one mover to another. Generally, full-service movers charge based on weight. A company representative will give a moving quote or will come to your home for an in-house estimate; some companies charge based on space; truck rental services charge based on the equipment you use.

- Long-distance moves usually take 2-4 weeks to complete a delivery for full-service movers. For a rental truck, you can expect to drive 500-600 miles in a day.
- To know if the moving company you are eyeing on is reliable, it has never been more important to do your own research. Ask your friends and family for referral on reliable long-distance moving companies.
- Be sure you are hiring long-distance movers who are dependable, professional, trustworthy, helpful, and caring.
- Traditional moving companies require at least 4-6 week notice for cross-country moving. Depending on the company you choose, moving last-minute to another state is possible.
- When moving long-distance using a truck rental service, consider the fuel costs.
