Long Distance Movers—Fair Prices, Accurate Quotes, Fast Delivery.

At American National Movers, we provide reasonably priced long distance moving services with clear estimates and fast delivery windows. Compared to many other national moving companies and major van lines, we’re considered affordable and reliable. We offer tailored logistics to fit your exact needs. Whether you are looking for a cost-effective shared load moving service for a smaller shipment, a dedicated truck for a large out-of-state home, or specialized white-glove handling for luxury items. Regardless of your move's scope, our estimators are trained to provide our clients with accurate pricing and detailed estimates, not generic lowball rates. This unwavering commitment to truth in pricing has shaped us into a trusted, top-rated nationwide carrier.

Affordable Long Distance Movers You Can Trust

Our brand is focused on longevity, not quick sales. We don't quote unrealistic prices and expectations only to then raise the price or change the contract on loading day. To ease your mind, all of our prices are binding, which means your long distance moving costs are provided at a flat rate with no hidden fees.

American National Movers has been serving customers for over nine years, building a business around honest pricing and realistic expectations. Our long distance moving costs are positioned in a reasonable middle ground — not the cheapest, but not the most expensive.

Because of our nationwide coverage, we provide affordable long distance movers while ensuring that our clients receive the professional services they deserve. We're not advocating being the absolute cheapest moving company but our costs are fair and straightforward.

Pricing That Prioritizes Reliability Over Cheaper Rates

Guaranteed Pricing, Binding Estimates, Clear Contracts, Precise Estimators.

Please see our value cards below for a detailed breakdown.

In the moving industry, a low-ball or inaccurate quote comes at the expense of efficiency and the safety of your valuable possessions, often resulting in extreme delivery delays. We refuse to market ourselves as the cheapest long-distance moving company just to win a bid, only to end up with dissatisfied customers. As a result, our estimators are trained to quote real prices and set realistic expectations based on the exact moving package you’re paying for. This actively eliminates the most common complaints associated with long-distance movers: unexpected delivery delays, hidden price changes on moving day, and damaged furniture.

A+ Rated BBB Accredited.

American National Movers strives to maintain a strong reputation online with good reviews, along with an A+ Rating and accreditation with the Better Business Bureau. This BBB accreditation proves that our long distance moving company is a legitimate business.

Faster Delivery Services.

We're one of the fastest long distance moving companies in the industry. Our average wait time for delivery is three to five days—sometimes less if your mileage is within 800 miles.

18-Wheeler Moving Company

Our eighteen-wheeler semi trucks provide an efficient, cost-effective solution for three to four bedrooms moving between states. Tractor trailers handle heavy shipments, ensuring faster service and potential savings of up to $5,000 by moving everything in one trip.

Gps Tracking.

Track your load and get live moving updates on the location of your long distance movers at all times so that you can plan for the arrival of your household goods. Our GPS tracking is installed in the phones of our long distance movers and in our trucks to ensure a seamless delivery.

Choosing The Best Long Distance Moving Option

Sharing truck space and piggybacking with other customers' loads may be ideal for smaller or mid-sized shipments. But larger 3-6-bedrooms, commercial equipment, high-end items, or time-sensitive assisted living loads might benefit more from our dedicated truck-moving option. Ultimately, your choice boils down to your preference, the cost savings of a shared load, or the speed, security, and predictability of a dedicated truck.

Please see the chart below to determine which long-distance moving option best fits your relocation needs, budget, and delivery expectations.

Shared Truck Vs Dedicated

Regardless of the relocation package you choose, your household goods will always be packaged and handled with care.

Our basic moving package includes movers' blankets, shrink wrap,, and optional add-ons to protect your furniture while it's in transit.

Our premium package includes high-end packing materials, including crates, non-abrasive microfoam, planks, edge protectors, and foam corner guards. Pair that with an exclusive truck and straight delivery, and your items will have the best possible chance of arriving undamaged.

We offer budget and premium relocation services:

√ Budget relocation package includes movers' blankets, shrink wrap, and packing add-ons for additional padding and protection.

√ Premium relocation packages include tighter delivery windows, guaranteed dates, and premium packing.

Important Note:

Shared load is an industry standard, not just an American National Mover shipping method. Shared loads have a higher risk of dents and dings to the frames of your household goods. A dedicated truck reduces that risk significantly but does not eliminate the risk entirely. Please be advised that hauls relocating across the country pose a higher risk of damage than out of state moves that are relocating a shorter distance.

Small-Mid-Sized Loads

Customers with small to average-sized long distance moving loads usually choose our shared-truck moving option. With an average cost of $4,000.00, many are comfortable with a consolidated shipment and a longer delivery window.

√ Our Average Wait Time For Delivery is 5 o Ten Business Days on Shared Loads.

√ Common Routes and Short-Distance Out-of-State Moves Have Faster Delivery Windows Of 4 to 7 Business Days.

√ Cross-Country Hauls and Uncommon Service or Delivery States May Take Longer To Deliver on Shared Loads.

√ Color Codes Placed On Your Inventory To Prevent Lost Items

The average cost for a smaller, shared-load, long-distance moving shipment ranges from $2,900 to $5,500. We aim to keep this relocation package as affordable as possible, and it’s helped shape the company we are today. Because this is a consolidated freight service, we advise clients to plan for flexible delivery timelines and to understand the standard, minor risks associated with shared transport logistics.

Time-Sensitive, Fragile, Large Shipments

Several clients opt for the dedicated truck option, which can, in some cases, provide same- or next-day delivery. When the truck is just yours, we start delivery immediately without making any additional stops. This is a popular option for assisted living, commercial loads, time-sensitive cargo, and small high-value shipments.

√ Delivery Windows For Exclusive Loads Range From 1 to 5 Days.

√ A 100-500-Mile Move Can Be Completed on The Same Day or the Next.

√ 700-1500-Mile Hauls Take An Average of 2-4 Days For Delivery.

√ 1500+ Mile Straight-Delivery Windows Vary But Generally Are Under a Week.

The average cost for dedicated shipments is $7,800. This is considered competitive, considering many national and local carriers combine your shipment for an average of $6,500. Even if you contact a premium brand and are quoted $12,000.00+, it's often for a shared truckload, not a private vehicle.

Why Even the Best Long Distance Movers Have Some Negative Reviews

online review comparison photo moving services

It’s normal for established national long distance moving companies, like American National Movers, that have been in business for several years to have a mix of positive and negative reviews. Movers who handle hundreds of interstate relocations each month naturally receive more feedback than small companies doing only 20 to 30 jobs each year.

What matters most isn’t whether a mover has a perfect rating — it’s whether their reviews show consistency, professional communication, and an attempt to make things right if complaints arise.

What to look For When Reading Moving Company Reviews

Very Few Reviews

Any reputable brand worth considering should have at least 50 reviews. A lack of reviews may indicate they are a new business with limited experience.

5 Star Ratings All Posted Within The Same Year.

Reputable movers earn reviews consistently over several years. A high rating with all reviews clustered in a single year may signal a new or aggressively marketed company or a deceptive business practice.

No Negative Reviews. At All

Even the largest van lines — including Allied, United, and Mayflower — receive occasional complaints. Long-distance moving involves weather, traffic, building restrictions, and inventory changes. A completely spotless record is uncommon.

Any established mover will naturally have a combination of good and bad reviews. The key is choosing a company that is transparent, consistent, and responsive when issues arise.

The Most Common Complaints People Have With Long Distance Movers & How To Avoid Them:

Inventory Issues/Price Changes.

If you haven't already noticed, the most common complaint in the moving industry is price disputes. This usually happens when a customer’s actual inventory differs from the original list provided during the quote. The good news is this can be avoided, as long as you provide your movers with an accurate inventory list. You can also ask for a guaranteed price, but this may come at an additional fee. Do this, and you will have a smoother relocation experience.

Common Long distance Moving Scenarios

Every long distance move is different. The household size, distance, timing, and your flexibility all affect the logistics of your move. Below are some of the most common scenarios we see — and how we help customers navigate them efficiently.

Need An 18-Wheeler Truck For A Large House?

Don't let your long distance movers ship your 4-bedroom household goods in two 26-foot trucks; it's less efficient and more expensive. Instead, work with an 18-wheeler moving company like American National Movers so that your belongings stay in one truck and with one driver. Not only is transporting homes with a lot of furniture in a semi more efficient, but it's also cost-effective because you only need to pay for one driver, instead of two or three.

Need Long Distance Movers For A Small Load?

American National Movers constantly has trucks on the road in nearly every state. This allows us to piggyback your load on our truck or to pick up your load and combine it with other shipments in an 18-wheeler. Our average moving costs to ship a small load long distance are about $2,800.

Need A Dedicated Truck With Direct Delivery?

Many movers combine all shipments to cut costs, even for fragile items. If you prefer faster, safer, and exclusive transport, a dedicated truck keeps your belongings separate from other shipments and provides a tighter delivery window.

This option costs more but offers greater control and peace of mind.

Need One Way Movers On Your Long Distance Move?

One way moving allows trucks to remain on the road rather than return to their origin empty. Because American National Movers operates nationwide and has access to warehouses and crews in multiple states, we don’t always need to send a truck back to its original location.

Upon Your Request 30 Days Free Storage On All Long Distance Moving Loads.

Moving out of state and need short- or long-term storage? American National Movers is one of the few long-distance moving companies that offers 30 days of free storage with re-delivery included. That means when you're ready to accept your shipment, we'll reload your items onto the truck at no additional labor cost.

Other long-distance movers may advertise storage as part of their services, but many charge an additional $1,000–$3,000 to reload your household goods from their warehouse. With us, storage is simple, straightforward, and budget-friendly.
