Long Distance Intrastate Movers

We have been receiving a large number of inquiries from consumers moving within the same state but traveling 200 to 300 miles or more. At American National Movers we prefer these hauls because we can do a quick pick up and drop off. Since the logistics of a long distance intrastate move are simpler than a load moving between multiple states, we are happy to offer this service, with typical costs starting around $2,800.

Are 100 to 400 Mile Moves Still Considered Long Distance?

Yes. Many moving companies consider a haul that travels between several cities a long distance move. Many consumers ask this question after receiving an expensive quote for an intrastate move that's within 400 miles.

If a moving company is too expensive for a haul you'd consider a shorter distance, keep calling movers for quotes. Many times a relocation brand's higher rates are a reflection of that mover's limited trucks, availability and resources.

✓ Why Are Short Distance Intrastate Hauls Expensive?

Despite your move being only a 3 to 4 hour drive, many long distance moving companies charge for the travel time returning to their base after delivering your belongings. So instead of charging you for a 4 hour drive, you're charged for 8.

Companies like American National Movers that specialize in long range intrastate moves can drop your shipment off and then pick up another load in a nearby city or state. That's an efficient solution that results in a price making more economic sense for shorter drives.

Why ANM Is A Good Option For In-State Long Distance Moving

Many relocation brands price a haul exceeding 50 to 100 miles like an out of state transport, because of travel time and truck usage. American National Movers is reasonably priced on shipments relocating within the same state across a longer than usual mileage band. Here's why:

✓ Fully Optimized For High Mileage Relocations

American National Movers only accepts loads relocating at least 100 miles from origin to destination. Whether it's a 280 mile Miami to Tampa move or a 380 mile Los Angeles to San Francisco run, we position the truck to service another load in a nearby city or state afterward.

That lets us avoid charging you for driving an empty truck back to the warehouse, which lowers our rates.

✓ Several Trucks And Movers

Moving companies charging very high rates for an in-state 400 mile relocation are likely doing so because of limited trucks and crew availability. Many movers would rather put their resources into local moves paying a similar rate than commit to a load that ties up a truck for 5 to 8 hours.

At American National Movers we have trucks and movers in several cities and states, which lets us meet more budgets while still operating profitably.

✓ National Shared Load And Piggyback Moving

We offer shared load and piggyback moving services nationwide. Whether you have a small load or a bigger shipment, we may be able to combine your shipment and piggyback it on someone else's route.

This allows us to charge you only for the space you use, rather than for the entire truck.

✓ Straight Delivery Available

Because many moving companies treat a 100 to 400 mile haul as a long distance move, most won't offer expedited delivery on it. Instead they'll hold your items in a warehouse and wait until they have enough long hauls to fill a truck before starting transit.

American National Movers is a specialized long distance moving company with pick ups and deliveries already scheduled across these routes, which means straight delivery is often available on shorter hauls — your shipment goes on a truck that's already headed that direction, rather than waiting for one to fill.

Straight delivery is a separate service from shared load. On a straight delivery run in the 100 to 400 mile range, same or next day arrival is frequently achievable. On a shared load, your shipment moves within the delivery window stated on your bill of lading. Ask which one you're being quoted before you book — the difference is the whole timeline.

Get A Quote: Long Distance Moves From 100 Miles Up

American National Movers is a highly rated, reasonably priced option for long distance relocations starting at 100 miles. We specialize in the mileage band most movers price poorly — long enough that local hourly rates don't work, short enough that most long distance carriers won't prioritize it.

We handle interstate relocations nationwide, including short-hop state crossings like New York to Pennsylvania, Los Angeles to Las Vegas, Miami to Savannah, and Dallas to Oklahoma City — moves in the same distance range as an in-state haul, at rates starting around $2,800.

If your move stays entirely within one state, we can point you to a properly permitted intrastate carrier in your state. Every state licenses in-state movers separately from federal authority, and hiring a mover without the right state permit leaves you with far less recourse if something goes wrong.
