Episode Notes

Planning on uprooting your home and relocating your life to a brand-new state? Moving across the country isn’t like moving down the street. There are mistakes that would be no big deal in some cases - and massive errors in others! That’s why interstate moving experts are sharing their insights on what makes long-haul moving... go.

There’s no question, a long-distance move is an ambitious project. You’re going out of your comfort zone - and I mean WAY out. That means unless everything goes smoothly, you could be in hot water real quick. And moving rarely goes smoothly. So if you’re relocating from Tennessee to another state, follow these tips.

Check your outdoor furniture. You need to know exactly what you’re moving - even the stuff that’s out of sight.

Take a look at any furniture you’ve been keeping outside. If anything’s infested by larvae, you could be doing more than moving insects - you could be moving prohibited cargo! Hazards aren’t permitted to cross state lines, and that includes those intruders. So make sure your furniture gets the all-clear!

Invest in suitable insurance coverage. Here’s something else you’ll have to consider when moving to another state. If you left it up to federal regulations, you’d only get 60 cents a pound for any damaged items. That’s exactly why it’s best to look for a better insurance deal.

Shop around for a provider who’ll give you more than the bare minimum - especially if you’re taking anything that’s high-value with you. The higher the cost of your items, the more you might need an insurance plan that’s decidedly extra.

Factor in vehicle costs. Renting a truck for a DIY move? Movers like True Friends Moving Company can provide even more practical advice, potentially saving you money and stress alike…

“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.”

Hire Professionals! It’s perhaps the most obvious, but the most important all the same. When you hire professionals (the good ones, anyway), you’re making sure you won’t have to worry about any of the above. Your company will walk you through everything, keeping you informed at every step.

The goal? Paving the road to a smoother residential move - however long the road is. With spacious trucks and extensive experience, long-distance moving teams can streamline your project by handling Furniture protection, Interstate transit, Reassembly upon the final arrival, and everything else, too.

Most movers will even offer upfront estimates to help you prepare your budget as you map out your upcoming state-to-state move. Fixed-rate pricing policies will make that even easier, removing the risk of surprise fees.

These people decided to go with long-distance professionals instead of going it alone. The vibes were only positive.

“The men were very careful to wrap and move each fragile item. I appreciate their consideration. Zero breakage.” Another added: “They moved my grand piano without any problems - and it was very heavy.”

So, if you don’t want your long-distance move to end up the longest day of your life, consulting with professionals might be your best move…
