10 Tips to Make Your Long Distance Move Easier
Moving to a different city or another state can be far more stressful than moving across town because of the long distances involved and the extended amount of time that it takes. Make this process easier by following these ten tips.
1. Inspect Outdoor Furniture
Make sure your outdoor furniture is free of insects or larvae. Such infestations are prohibited by moving regulations designed to prevent hazards from crossing state lines.
2. Organize When You Pack
Divide your possessions by room so they can be stored properly on arrival and unloaded more quickly. Create a Day One box that contains items you need as soon as you arrive at your new home. It can include clothes, kitchenware, medical devices, and other essential items.
3. Pack up Your Possessions for Long Distance Travel
Your boxes may be handled by different teams of movers as they move long distances in a truck. Keep the contents well protected by ensuring that each box is packed tightly with no loose items. Seal all containers, keeping in mind that boxes may be turned upside down.
4. Put Your Mattress in a Box
Avoid damage to your mattress by packing it inside a box. If you don’t do this, you risk tearing its fabric, bending its structure, or dirtying its surfaces.
5. Label Each Box Correctly
At a minimum, each box should have your name spelled out so that it isn’t confused with other people’s boxes that are being transported in the same truck. To ease unloading, mark each container with the room it’s going to and the contents.
6. Avoid Packing Food or Liquids
Liquids can spill, damaging the other items in the truck. Food is exposed to extremes of temperature, making it spoil faster. It can also attract pests such as cockroaches and mice to your shipment. Avoid packing these perishables.
7. Get Adequate Insurance
Federal regulations require moving companies to compensate you only 60 cents per pound if your items are damaged. That coverage may not be enough especially if you’re moving art, expensive furniture or other valuable items. Determine the cost of the items in your shipment so you can decide whether to buy extra insurance.
8. Bring the Items You Need on Arrival with You
Keep personal documents such as your driver’s license, birth certificate, social security card, and birth certificate with you at all times. Do not pack anything that you need at your destination before your shipment arrives including hygiene products, job materials, and additional clothes.
9. Know Your Move-In Situation
Know what parking is available for the truck, whether a permit is needed and whether you’ll need a shuttle, at an additional cost, to move boxes from a large tractor-trailer through the smaller roads to your home.
10. Determine the Move-In Requirements for Your Destination Building
Find out what your destination building’s moving regulations are so your movers aren’t waiting around because something is amiss. These rules can include specific hours for the move and whether you need to reserve elevators or block off corridors.
When you’re ready to start planning for your long-distance moves, please contact us at True Friends Moving Company. We’re experts at minimizing stress in the process.

Comprehensive Long Distance Moving Checklist
A successful long-distance move begins with a detailed checklist. This checklist includes tasks such as sorting your belongings, notifying important parties of your move, arranging for utilities at your new home, and scheduling your move with us. We recommend starting this process at least eight weeks before your move date to ensure nothing is overlooked.
Understanding Interstate Moving Regulations and Compliance
When moving across state lines, it's crucial to be aware of interstate moving regulations. True Friends Moving Company complies with all federal and state regulations governing long-distance moves. We will help you understand the paperwork, such as the Bill of Lading and Inventory List, and ensure that your move adheres to all legal requirements.

We provide transparent and accurate cross-country moving cost estimations based on factors such as the distance of your move, the weight and volume of your belongings, and any additional services you may require. Our team will work with you to create a personalized quote that fits your budget and needs.
Expert Packing Tips for Secure Long-Distance Relocation
Packing for a long-distance move is different from a local move. Items need to be secured and protected for the long haul. Our packing experts offer tips and services to help you pack efficiently and safely. We recommend using sturdy boxes, wrapping items individually, and labeling everything clearly. For those who prefer a hands-off approach, we also offer full packing services.
Choose the Right Moving Insurance for Your Long Haul
Protecting your belongings during a long-distance move is paramount. From basic coverage to full-value protection, choosing the right insurance plan to safeguard your possessions throughout the journey is crucial.

Strategic Long-Distance Moving Timeline Planning
Timing is everything when it comes to long-distance moving. Moving coordinators can help you develop a timeline that suits your schedule and ensures all aspects of your move are managed efficiently. From the initial packing to the delivery of your items, a moving coordinator can make sure each phase of your move is executed on time.
What Not to Pack: Non-Allowable Items in Interstate Moving
Certain items cannot be transported during an interstate move due to safety and legal reasons. True Friends Moving Company will provide you with a list of non-allowable items, such as hazardous materials, perishables, and personal items of high sentimental value. We advise you to make alternative arrangements for these items to ensure compliance with safety regulations.
Maximize Savings with Long Distance Move Tax Deductions
Did you know that some moving expenses may be tax-deductible? If your move is related to starting a new job or relocating for work, you may be eligible for certain tax deductions. Our team can guide you on the potential deductions and provide you with the necessary documentation to claim them, though we recommend consulting with a tax professional for specific advice.
Preparing Large Furniture for a Safe Cross-Country Move
