No Brokers. No Outsourcing. No Hidden Fees.

Many interstate moving companies collect your deposit and then hand your move off to another carrier. That is not how we do business.

When you book with Reliable Movers, you are working directly with the company moving your shipment. We use our own trucks and our own crew, which gives you better communication, better accountability, and a more consistent moving experience.

It’s easy for shady companies to look official. Always double-check.

Every licensed interstate mover must be registered with the FMCSA and have "Authorized for HHG" listed on their USDOT profile.

Reliable Movers is a federally licensed interstate moving company authorized by the FMCSA.
We comply with all USDOT regulations for interstate household goods transportation.

What Is Included in Our Interstate Moving Price?

Our interstate moving quotes are designed to be simple and transparent. In most cases, your flat-rate price includes:

  • Truck and transportation
  • Professional moving labor
  • Fuel and tolls
  • Furniture breakdown and setup
  • Moving pads and shrink wrap
  • Loading and unloading
  • Basic valuation coverage

Packing of boxes is priced separately when needed. If you would like help with packing, we also offer full and partial packing services.

We’ll do an in-home or virtual inventory review, then give you one price. That price only changes if your inventory changes significantly or if special circumstances apply (like multiple stops or storage).

What Can Affect the Price?

Here are a few things that may change your rate:

  • Inventory Changes
  • Added furniture or boxes? We’ll reassess the truck size needed.
  • Heavy or Overstuffed Boxes
  • We ask that no boxes exceed 50 lbs and that you use proper box sizes (especially for books).
  • Difficult Access
  • If we can’t park close to your home, use stairs, or access your road with our truck, we may need a smaller "shuttle" truck — which comes at a cost.

Hidden Fees Other Movers Don’t Warn You About.

  • Storage Fees
  • Delays at your new place? You might be stuck with unexpected storage charges.
  • Fuel Surcharges
  • Some companies tack this on after the fact. We include fuel in your flat rate.
  • Shuttling Charges
  • Large carriers often “shuttle” your belongings from one truck to another — for $2,000–$4,000. We only shuttle if your destination truly requires it, and we tell you in advance.

Choose Your Mover Carefully

Before you sign anything:

  1. Always get at least 3 quotes
  2. Ask for a binding estimate (not cubic feet — that’s a broker red flag)
  3. Verify DOT credentials
  4. Check reviews across platforms — and ask for referrals

Long-distance moving is complex, but it doesn’t have to be chaotic. We’re here to take the pressure off and deliver a move you can actually feel good about.

Interstate Moving FAQ

Real answers from Reliable Movers about interstate moving, pricing, brokers, delivery dates, and what customers should watch out for.

Why are some moving quotes so much cheaper?

Some interstate quotes are based on weight, which can fluctuate. Others have hidden charges, such as shuttling fees, long carries, fuel, tolls, or delivery charges.

Reliable Movers is flat rate. Once your price is in writing, it does not change unless your inventory changes.

What is the difference between a broker and an actual moving company?

A broker sells the job, collects the deposit, and you may never hear from them again. Many brokers are overseas operations made to look like they are from the USA. Many claim they are from New Jersey or Florida.

Reliable Movers does not broker out moving. It is our guys and our trucks from start to finish. We do not sell our jobs.

How do interstate moving companies price moves?

Legal moving companies follow their tariff filed with the USDOT. Reliable Movers uses software that factors in fuel charges, location, season, mileage, and shipment size.

The tariff allows pricing to move up or down depending on the season, the route, and whether shipments are combined.

Are binding estimates really binding?

Yes, with Reliable Movers. If you stay within our moving guidelines, your inventory is accurate, and stair carries are fully disclosed, our written pricing is binding.

Do movers charge by weight or truck space?

Interstate movers can charge by weight or by binding estimate. Brokers often use cubic feet, which can lead to confusion and price changes.

Why do some moving companies require large deposits?

A large deposit is usually a broker warning sign. Brokers like to collect their percentage before they sell the move to another company.

Reliable Movers requires a $500 non-refundable deposit on interstate moves to hold your moving date.

How far in advance should I book movers in summer?

The sooner you know, the better off you are. June through September is the busiest time of year for interstate moving, and good dates fill quickly.

What happens if my closing date changes?

Call me — Jen. I will schedule you to the best of my ability with your new dates. We do not overbook our days.

Can you guarantee delivery dates?

Yes, we can. Interstate movers can promise a date, but by law they often have a delivery window. Reliable Movers offers guaranteed delivery dates at no extra charge.

How many boxes does a typical 3-bedroom home use?

A typical 3-bedroom home in 2026 usually uses 70 to 100 boxes. A variety of box sizes should be used, including small, medium, and large boxes.

Are online moving quotes accurate?

No. Many online moving quotes are meant to lure you in. Once your personal information is handed over, you may receive hundreds of calls and emails from brokers who buy your information.

What should I watch out for when hiring movers?

Watch out for movers who do not have interstate household goods moving authority, movers who do not own their own trucks, movers who refuse to give a binding estimate, and movers who hire day labor.

Illegal movers are rogue movers. They can leave customers with price changes, missed delivery dates, damage, and very little accountability.

Why are Google reviews important when choosing movers?

Google reviews are important, but they should not be taken too seriously by themselves. Many movers now shout out on Facebook for friends and family to leave reviews. Reviews can also be bought or traded.

Look for a mover with long-term reviews over many years. No mover should realistically have perfect 5-star reviews forever. You cannot please every customer.

What items cannot be moved interstate?

Hazardous materials such as propane tanks, gasoline, paint, ammunition, fireworks, and certain chemicals cannot legally be transported on interstate moving trucks.

Customers should also transport important documents, jewelry, medications, and personal valuables separately.

Do you offer packing services for interstate moves?

Yes. Reliable Movers offers full packing, partial packing, and fragile-only packing services for interstate moving customers.

Most 3-bedroom homes today use approximately 70 to 100 moving boxes depending on storage areas, garages, basements, and how much the customer is taking.

Will my belongings be insured during an interstate move?

Yes. Interstate movers are required to provide basic valuation coverage. Additional protection options may also be available depending on the shipment.

Reliable Movers pads and shrink wraps furniture and uses experienced long-term crews to help reduce damage during transport.

How can I lower my interstate moving cost?

Decluttering before your move, reducing storage items, donating unused furniture, and scheduling during less busy times of year can help reduce interstate moving costs.

Accurate inventories also help avoid pricing changes and delivery delays.

Can I pack and move my plants?

Some states have restrictions on transporting plants across state lines due to agricultural regulations. Small household plants are usually transported by customers in their personal vehicles whenever possible.

How much does interstate moving cost from Syracuse NY?

Interstate moving costs depend on mileage, shipment size, season, access, and delivery location. A smaller interstate shipment may cost a few thousand dollars, while a larger multi-bedroom home moving across several states can cost significantly more.

Reliable Movers provides written flat-rate estimates with no hourly guessing.
