Overview
How long-distance quotes work
Long-distance and interstate moves are usually priced by the weight or volume of your shipment and the distance traveled, plus any packing, storage, or special handling. Interstate movers must be registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and have an active USDOT number.
MoveQuotes USA doesn’t provide these services or set prices. We pass your request to up to 4 participating companies that serve your area, and they contact you directly with their own quotes and terms.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between binding and non-binding estimates?
A binding estimate is a guaranteed price for the services listed. A non-binding estimate can change based on the actual weight of your shipment. Federal rules limit how much more a mover can collect at delivery on a non-binding estimate, so ask each company to explain its estimate in writing.
How do I check an interstate mover?
Look up the company's USDOT or MC number on the FMCSA website to confirm active authority and review complaint history. You should also receive the FMCSA booklet 'Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move.'
How long does a cross-country move take?
Delivery windows vary by distance and company, commonly from several days to a few weeks for a coast-to-coast move. Ask each mover for its delivery spread in writing.
Do you choose the mover for me?
No. We share your request with up to 4 participating companies. You compare their quotes and decide who, if anyone, to hire.
