Shared Load Long Distance Movers | Affordable Moving
Moving long distance with just a few things? Frustrated by sky-high moving costs? You're not alone! But there's a smart way to save up to 40% on your state to state move: shared truck moving.
​
Typical moving companies charge upwards of $7,000 for long-distance hauls. But what if you only need movers to move a few items and boxes? Shared truckloads are the answer.
​
How does it work? Your belongings share space with another customer on the same truck. This makes long distance moving affordable, without sacrificing reliable service.
​
American National Movers specializes in shared truck moves. Let's figure out if this option is right for you, and get you a quote that will make you smile
What's A Shared Truck Long Distance Move?
Shared load moving options could be the answer to moving small and mid-sized long distances between states at a cheaper rate:
​
-National shared load moving companies have several trucks, allowing us to offer budget-friendly moving options.
​
-A Shared load move means your belongings are transported on the same truck as another customer's furniture.
-Sharing a truck with another customer makes hiring long-distance movers affordable.
​
-Not every moving company can provide this benefit, but national movers usually can because we constantly have trucks moving from state to state.
Is a Shared Load Move Right For You?
Sharing a truck with someone else's furniture is not ideal for everyone, especially if you want a guaranteed delivery date. Also, customers with a full house of furniture might not qualify for shared load moves.
A shared load-moving service is ideal for the following:
Small Moves State to State
Do you have a small 1 - 2 bedroom and are only long distance moving a few pieces of furniture? Call American National Movers and say: "Hi, I would like to inquire about your shared move, moving services, I have a small move."
​
Tell Us Your Budget
Be transparent about your budget. American National Movers wants to earn your business. We aren't called affordable long-distance movers for nothing. Let us know what you want and need, and we will do it.

Small distance Moves
Are you moving within the same state or just a couple of states over? Sharing a truck space with another customer is your best small-load moving option. If your haul is between 50 and 500 miles, we can deliver your household goods on the same or the next day. However, hauls that exceed 600 miles will have an average long distance delivery time of 3 to 14 days.
Small Cross-Country Moves
American National Movers also recommends sharing a truck if you're moving cross country, such as a California to Florida Move. Our average moving cost for this service is around $4,000.
Budget Conscious Long Distance Movers
Some people find paying more than $4,000 too expensive for long distance moves. But believe it or not, moving companies charge between $12,000 and $25,000 to transport furniture to another state. Other moving companies prefer to focus on local moves, so their costs are high. The long-distance haul isn't worth it for anything cheaper.
How Much is A Shared Load For Moving?
-Sharing a truck averages $2,500 for long-distance moves and $3,500 for cross-country relocations.
-We charge a minimum of $2,500 for out of state moves to ensure good service and quick delivery.
-Our shared load movers calculate your cost by the size/cubic feet of your furniture and the distance of your haul.
​
Cost Savings With Shared Load Movers
By agreeing to a shared truckload move for a state move, such as Los Angeles to Seattle, you can save up to $3,000. Many people are surprised by the cost savings of sharing a truck space.
Shared Load Movers:What To Know
-Unfortunately, some cheap movers cut corners on quality. With American National Movers, shared load options mean saving money, NOT sacrificing excellent service. Small long long distance moves participate in a shared truck moving service, typically having a minimum cost of $2,500.00.
​
Not Every Mover Can Share Your Load
Long distance moving companies with a smaller fleet of trucks may not be able to offer a shared load pace as this method requires at least 15 trucks to operate efficiently. Nationwide moving companies like Allied and American National Movers offer the best small load shared truck moving service.
​
Worried About Sharing a Truck With Someone Else?
When proposing the shared load-moving option, many consumers have questions and concerns.
Let's go over some Frequently asked questions you may have before agreeing to a shared load moving truck service:
​
How Long Will It Take If You Share A Truck?
Although we may have to make additional stops, our average wait time for shared truck moves is between 5 and 14 days. This depends on whether your move is cross-country, state-to-state, or below 1500 miles. In other words, cross-country moves generally take a long time because of the distance involved.
Shared Load Moving: We Label Your Inventory.
When we propose a shared truck move, many ask, " Will you lose my stuff if it's in a shared truck with someone else's furniture?" Amateurs might, but a professional will separate and label your inventory. Each item is labeled and barcoded to scan before loading and unloading.
We Don't Unload Your Furniture Until We Arrive at Destination
Certain Shared load movers might unload your belongings at a warehouse and then load them again on an 18-wheeler. This method is inefficient and a recipe for a bad customer service experience.
​
At American National Movers, we keep things simple. Unlike many other long distance moving companies, we still expedite your shipment—even with a shared truck. We load your small state-to-state move on a 26-foot truck and deliver straight.
Share A Truck and Get Insurance
Are you concerned about damage when sharing a truck space? No worries. American National Movers will insure your items.
For your information, 95% of long-distance relocations involve sharing your move with someone else's load. Most long-distance movers are not upfront about this. Ask, and you'll be surprised that even with their high costs, they share your move with another load.
