Highly Efficient Long Distance Movers

Highly efficient long distance movers are now what American National Movers focuses on — after being in business for 10 years, we're targeting consumers looking for an efficient company rather than a cheaper price.

Over the course of the last few years we have focused on being a trustworthy, affordable long distance moving option to help consumers on a tight budget. This has helped our company grow at a faster pace because many long distance moving companies can be expensive.

But, we learned that being cheaper comes with issues that can be damaging to the consumer's experience with our company and our overall reputation.

American National Movers No Longer Negotiating Rates

Once a consumer accepts the price and service, they expect a quality experience no matter the contracted amount. Even if a mover were to negotiate an unbeatable price, the consumer's expectations are the same.

Reliability Expectations

Let's say a mover agrees to long haul your 3 bedroom from CA to NC for $6,000 (very competitive price) — a customer still expects a seamless experience. This is their right to expect that, as they are paying you for a service. However, what many people don't understand is your movers reliability is tied to the price that's quoted.

Experienced Crews

Legitimate crews with real experience demand high wages, especially in 2026. Due to the economic crisis many states are experiencing, professional movers must get paid more or they simply will decline your load if you hired a broker, or refuse to be employed with carriers.

Fast Dispatch Services

Cheap long distance moving options will come with a sacrifice of unclear pick up and delivery windows. This is a huge problem in the industry, resulting in consumers having movers delay the pick up or delivery window dramatically.

Changes We Made To Our Costs To Ensure Efficiency

No matter the dollar amount paid, long distance movers are held at a high standard. Whether someone pays $8,000 or not, the job needs to be done effectively or there will be damages to the consumer and the business. With that said, we made changes to the business.

Dedicated Route

Instead of doing our popular shared load moving service involving sharing a truck with other customers; we are now offering dedicated transport. This moving option involves shipping your items straight from your origin state without making any additional stops. Direct shipping has an average cost of $8,500, which some may consider expensive but offers a premium experience to our consumers with a higher satisfactory rating.

High End Materials

Instead of using the basic packing (blankets) we use high end packaging materials to prevent damage to your items. This adds a higher cost to our services but avoids unnecessary damage complaints with customers.

No Subcontracting

We use real crew men that have experience in relocating household goods across state lines. This means we don't cut corners on costs and hire day laborers on third party websites in order to appease someone's budget.

How Efficiency Trumps Lower Estimates

We want to help relocate everyone, but your budget should be within reason. Too many people make the mistake of choosing a brand based on their rate rather than the quality of service. Once we stopped trying to book every job by being affordable, our business changed for the better:

Fast Dispatch Services

When our rates were lower than industry standard, dispatching loads would take 2-3 weeks. This means consumers waited up to 21 days for delivery. But now, with a reasonable increase in our rates, our delivery windows are only 5-10 days — resulting in faster deliveries and happy customers.

Less Damage

We greatly reduced damage claims with consumers by employing more skilled foremen and movers and using better quality packing materials.

Higher Quality Jobs

While some clients may turn away from a higher than average quote, many are more comfortable paying more to ensure efficiency and the safety of their household goods. As a result, we're booking larger households and high end loads containing fine art and high value pieces.

Cheap Moving Comes With Too Many Cons

From experience, we can tell you that it's better to pay more for a better experience than to focus on cheap rates only to get disappointed. When going low on price, something has to give, and many consumers don't understand that. This results in a headache for the consumer and the business. Consequently, effective immediately, American National Movers is no longer advertising as a cheap option, but as a cost effective premium brand.
