Interstate Movers: Book Directly With the Carrier

Moving to another state is one of the biggest jobs a household takes on. You are trusting a company with everything you own, sending it hundreds or thousands of miles away, and you need it delivered intact and on the date you were promised. Perfectly Fast Moving is a licensed interstate moving carrier (USDOT 3516489). We do long distance moves only, and we handle them with our own trucks and crews from your old front door to your new one.

When you book with us, you are not booking with a call center that sells your move to whoever bids lowest. The company that gives you your estimate is the same company that loads your truck, drives it across the country and unloads it at your new home. One carrier, door to door.

Why Families Choose Perfectly Fast Moving for Long Distance Moves

  • One carrier, door to door. Your belongings stay with one company for the whole trip. No hand-offs between brokers and unknown subcontractors.
  • Over 25 trucks in our fleet. A fleet of this size lets us plan pickup windows and routes ahead of time instead of waiting for a truck to come free.
  • All 50 states. Coast to coast, north to south: if you are moving from one state to another, we can take you there.
  • Free estimates. You get a written estimate before you commit, at no cost and with no obligation.
  • Discounts up to $1,500. Available to every customer, with special discounts for military families and seniors.
  • Fully licensed for interstate moves. Our USDOT number is 3516489. You can look it up yourself on the FMCSA website before you book, and we encourage you to.

Moving Discounts: Save Up to $1,500

A long distance move is a major expense, so we built discounts into our pricing rather than hiding them behind fine print.

  • Every customer: discounts of up to $1,500 on your interstate move.
  • Military discount: for active duty service members and veterans. Thank you for your service. Tell your estimator so the discount is applied to your quote.
  • Senior discount: special pricing for seniors relocating to be closer to family or to a new chapter of life.

The exact discount depends on the size of your move. Your estimator will show the discount on your free estimate so you can see exactly what you save. Get your free estimate and discount.

How Your Interstate Move Works, Step by Step

  1. Request a quote. Enter your moving-from and moving-to ZIP codes, your move date and the size of your home in the form above, or call us. It takes about a minute.
  2. Talk to an estimator. We go over your inventory: furniture, boxes, appliances and anything fragile or oversized. The more accurate the inventory, the more accurate your price.
  3. Get your written estimate. You receive a written estimate that lists what is included, along with any discount you qualify for.
  4. Reserve your date. Once you approve the estimate, we schedule your pickup window and confirm the details in writing.
  5. Loading day. Our crew protects your furniture, loads your belongings and records an inventory so every item is accounted for.
  6. On the road. Your shipment travels with our company the whole way. You know who to call with questions.
  7. Delivery. We unload at your new home, place furniture in the rooms you choose and check items off the inventory with you.

What Affects the Cost of a Long Distance Move

Every interstate move is priced individually. These are the main factors that move the number up or down:

  • Size of the shipment. The amount you ship (by weight or volume) is the biggest factor. A studio apartment and a four-bedroom house are very different jobs.
  • Distance and route. Longer routes cost more in fuel and driver time. Popular routes can be easier to schedule.
  • Move date. Summer, month-end and weekends are the busiest times in the moving industry. A flexible date can help your price.
  • Access at both homes. Stairs, elevators, long walks from the truck to the door and parking restrictions all affect labor time.
  • Special items. Pianos, safes, large TVs, artwork and other heavy or fragile items may need extra handling.

The best way to know your real cost is a free estimate based on your actual inventory. Be wary of any mover that gives you a firm price over the phone without asking what you are moving.

Carrier vs. Broker: Why It Matters for Your Move

Many companies that advertise interstate moving are brokers. A broker takes your deposit, then sells your job to a separate moving company that you have never spoken to. The price, the pickup date and even the crew can change after you have already paid.

Perfectly Fast Moving is a carrier. We own and operate the trucks that move you. That means:

  • The company that quotes you is the company that moves you.
  • You have one point of contact from estimate to delivery.
  • Your belongings are not transferred between companies along the way.

How to check any mover: ask for their USDOT number and look it up on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) website. Ours is USDOT 3516489.

Your Rights and Protection on an Interstate Move

Moves between states are regulated by the federal government through the FMCSA. Before your move, you should receive the federal booklet “Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move,” which explains estimates, inventories, delivery and how to file a claim.

Federal rules also require interstate movers to offer two levels of liability coverage:

  • Released value protection: included at no extra charge, but limited to 60 cents per pound per item.
  • Full value protection: the mover is responsible for the replacement value of lost or damaged goods, subject to the terms of the coverage.

Ask your estimator to explain both options so you can choose what is right for your belongings.
