Long-Distance
Moving Service
Moving to another city or state can be both exciting and stressful. A long-distance move should be done with the right planning and strategy to allow you to enjoy your new space without realizing halfway through that you forgot to pack something important.
Every long-distance move we handle begins with a detailed in-home walkthrough. Our moving coordinators assess your home, plan the route, and assign the right number of movers, trucks, and packing materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book movers for a long-distance move?
We recommend booking your long-distance move at least 4–6 weeks in advance. This ensures you get your preferred moving date and gives our team enough time to plan every detail, from packing to delivery.
What kinds of protections or insurance do moving companies offer?
At Southeast Moving & Storage, we offer standard coverage and additional insurance options. These plans help safeguard your items against loss or damage during transport, so you can feel confident every step of the way.
What items can’t I move with a long-distance mover?
Movers can’t transport hazardous materials (like gas, paint, or chemicals), perishable foods, plants, exotic pets, firearms, ammunition, or small high-value items for your protection. It’s best to keep those with you during your move.
Can I ship my car or vehicle along with my household items?
Yes! We can help coordinate the transport of your car, motorcycle, or recreational vehicle along with your household move.
Can I track my belongings during the move?
Absolutely. We keep open communication throughout the entire process. You’ll receive updates from our team so you always know where your belongings are and when to expect delivery.
What happens if my move-in date changes?
We understand that anything can happen and plans change. If your move-in date changes, we’ll work with you to adjust your schedule or offer short-term storage options until your new home is ready.
