Last Minute Long Distance Moving | Fast & Safe

It depends on when this move is happening. Summer months are the busiest for movers, especially summer weekends. If you are trying to schedule your move during those days, it might be challenging to find a crew available on such short notice. On the other hand, if you’re trying to schedule a move during non-vacation months and weekdays, you can find movers who are available for same-day moving.

For our regular services, we ask our clients to book local moves 2-4 weeks in advance, and long-distance moves 4-6 weeks in advance.

Not necessarily. We ask for advance notice to guarantee the availability of our vehicles and our crew members on the day of the move. However, if our vehicles and moving team can take on your last-minute booking, the price may not go up by that much.

We take unforeseen circumstances and unknowns into account when computing your moving costs. Because last-minute long-distance moving entails many circumstances outside our control, we may charge for those to ensure that any additional expenses incurred during the move will not delay the move.

Although the customer is free to waive the physical inspection, we highly discourage this. A physical walkthrough is essential in computing your moving estimate. Without a physical walkthrough, you may find yourself overcharged for moving services. On the other hand, if the estimate is proven to be too low, you may find yourself with extra charges upon reaching your destination because of estimate inaccuracies.

Even if you’re pressed for time, we do recommend researching potential last-minute movers. Last-minute long-distance moves are incredibly tricky, so you need a provider that is not only experienced but one with a good track record. If you are busy, you can check with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration or FMCSA to see if they are legit long-distance movers. Since FMCSA oversees interstate commercial travel, you can also look at the provider’s safety record to see if they’ve been in any accidents or if there are customer complaints against them.

Typically, we only agree on last-minute long-distance moving if we’re sure we can pull it off. However, once we say yes to a job, we make sure that we get things done in one day, no matter what. If you want to guarantee that the move will go as planned, we recommend our complete services, including packing and loading. Our expert team of movers is skilled at packing and clearing houses in record time without sacrificing quality and item security.

If the move is unexpected and you need emergency moving services, the most basic service we can offer is a truck rental. While this service is the most affordable and recommended for people on a tight budget, it means you don’t have a crew to help you pack and load things.  If you need to move on the same day, you can always ask for help from friends and family.

Of course. Moves done on short notice are usually made because of an emergency, and you may not have settled things in your new home yet. If this is the case, you can keep your items in our storage facility while you’re figuring things out at your new location. Just remember not to leave any perishable items if you’re keeping your belongings in storage.

As a professional and legitimate moving company, we offer insurance for all moves, even those done at the last minute. Keep in mind that our insurance only covers all services included in the Bill of Lading. For example, if you packed the items yourself and damaged an item due to improper packing, our insurance doesn’t cover it.

While it’s true that complete insurance protection can make your move more expensive, it is something we recommend to our customers, especially if you’re planning a long-distance move on such short notice. Last-minute moves are notorious for having many unknowns and unforeseen circumstances, so we recommend getting full insurance coverage to protect your belongings. Partial insurance is free; however, it only gives you 60 cents per pound per article coverage.

Our traditional moving services require customers to pay at least a couple of days before moving day. However, for last-minute moves, you can pay once the move has been carried out successfully. Our onsite team will take care of payments at the destination point.

For long-distance travel, certain items are not allowed onboard moving trucks and vans. These items include:

• Pool chemicals
• Scuba tanks
• Aerosols
• Ammunition
• Household cleaners
• Guns
• Paints
• Charcoal
• Propane tanks
• Pesticides
• Motor oil
• Batteries
• Nail polish and remover
• Fertilizer

Of course. Our expert movers can get the job done with minimal supervision. You can be sure that our crew will handle and transport your items to the destination as best as they can. If you can’t meet them there in person, simply leave your representative’s name and contact information with the moving crew. In instances where you can’t meet the team yourself at your new home, you can settle your bill once the items are fully loaded into the truck.
