Dedicated Truck Long Distance Movers

Get a dedicated long distance moving truck with American National Movers at an average cost of about $7,500.

Most long distance moving companies don’t offer dedicated trucks because the operational costs are higher for both the mover and the customer. Instead, many brands combine shipments in a 53′ trailer before transport. That works for budget moves, but it can get messy for time‑sensitive timelines and fragile/high‑value items. That’s why American National Movers offers a dedicated truck service for customers who want an exclusive vehicle for safer handling and faster delivery.

Dedicated Truck Vs Shared Load Moving

Sharing a truck is great moving option when you’re on a budget and your inventory is smaller. It’s usually not a fit if you want guaranteed dates, you’re relocating a larger household, or you have high‑value/fragile items that benefit from fewer touch points.

Is A Dedicated Truck Right For You?

Compare getting a dedicated truck versus combining your shipment with the content below.

Choose dedicated load movers if you want any of the following:

• Firm dates / fastest transit. Tight timelines, job start dates, property closings, or elevators/booked docks.

• Lower handling risk. One truck, one crew. Loaded once at pickup, unloaded once at delivery—ideal for fragile, high‑value, or heirloom items.

• Larger homes. 3–4 BR or heavy inventories often make better sense on a direct truck.

Choose Shared‑Load if:

• Budget first. You're flexible on dates and want the lowest total.

• Smaller inventory. Studio–2 BR or "few‑items" shipments fit shared lanes well.

• You can accept a wider delivery window. We'll route your load with others to cut costs.
