Direct Long Distance Movers For Fast Delivery

American National Movers is a long distance moving company that offers direct delivery services, so your items can arrive faster. Contrary to popular belief, not all long distance moving companies ship your items directly after loading them onto the truck. Instead, movers unload your household goods into a warehouse or storage facility and eventually load them into an 18-wheeler for a combined shipment. Sharing your load with other items usually leads to longer wait times for delivery, as well as a higher risk of lost or damaged items.

Even if you hire a major van line and are quoted upwards of $10,000 for long distance movers, chances are your items will still be shared in a truck. But why pay thousands of dollars for movers on a state to state moving task when the items take weeks to deliver? At American National Movers, we expedite your long distance load and ship your belongings directly, so you only have to wait two to four days for delivery.

How Much Do Long Distance Movers Cost To Ship Directly From State To State?

Long distance movers usually share your load with a partial shipment to keep operational expenses down. This results in savings for the relocation brand and to the consumer. As a result, transporting your load directly from your origin to your destination state will incur an additional cost of $3,000. For example, if your starting costs are $5,000 and you request our movers to ship your long-distance load directly from the origin, your total cost will be $8,000.

Shared Load Movers Vs Direct Long Distance Moving.

When getting a quote from a state to state moving company, understand that there are two shipping methods: "direct long distance movers" or "shared load moving." Each shipping method will determine how your load is handled and how long it will take for delivery:

Shared Load Moving:

Sharing a load involves allowing your movers to combine your shipment with those of other customers. As a result, shared load moving is one of the cheapest transportation methods for long distance movers. By combining shipments, you can expect an average cost of approximately $4,500, which is significantly cheaper than paying nearly $8,000 for a direct shipment. But, unfortunately, shared load shipping has some drawbacks some people aren't comfortable with:

7-21-day delivery window due to making multiple drop-offs.
Uncertainty as to when your items will be delivered.
Increased risk of damage due to transporting in an 18-wheeler.

Important Note:

If you're moving from a three- to a four-bedroom home with high-value items, you may prefer long-distance movers for guaranteed delivery and a more seamless transportation process.

Long Distance Movers Direct Shipping:

Direct long distance moving is a premium service because your movers begin transporting your items as soon as they're loaded. Although it's more expensive, it is a better option for those wanting a faster way to move their items long distance from one state to another. Here is what you need to know if you're considering a direct delivery on your long distance move:

You must be available to accept the shipment when the movers arrive; otherwise, you will be charged a waiting fee.
Asking your long-distance movers to ship your items direct is not a budget-friendly option.
Costs for direct shipping will vary from brand to brand; our costs are $3,000—other long distance movers may charge more.

Important Consideration:

If you have a small, long-distance load, paying for direct delivery is not necessary, especially if you're flexible about when your items can arrive. Direct shipping is ideal for individuals with large shipments or those who prefer a faster long-distance moving option for personal reasons.
