A long distance move is a move that is greater than 100-mile from the origin and or the move is across a state line.  The factors affect the major portion of the cost of your move: Distance and the weight of your shipmant,  In order to determine an approximate weight of your belongings, you can refer to the table below.

Moving Charges

Price is determined on five elements:  Weight, Distance, Packing Materials, Valuation / Insurance, and Accessorial Charges.

• Weight - After the truck has been loaded, the mover weighs the truck at a government-regulated weigh station.  The long-distance rate (called a tariff) is a regulated by the Federal Highway Administration (FHA) and the Department of Transportation (DOT)
• Distance - Based on those basic rates, a mover may offer discounts to customers. These may be based on destination, if the start or end point of the move is one to which the company may travel on a regular or frequent basis, or they may be seasonal to encourage business during slower times of the year.
• Packing Materials - The cost of boxes and other packing materials provided by the mover.
• Valuation Insurance - A basic fee to cover your belonging in case of any damage that occurs during your move.
• Accessorial Charges - The tariff also applies to "accessorial' charges by long-distance moves. Some of these extra charges could include the cost of fuel and worker's comensation, which my vary from state to state.
