Long-Distance Moving

Whether you are moving to a new city in California, a neighboring state, or all the way across the country, moving long-distance can be an overwhelming experience. Meathead Movers guarantees your support throughout the process by providing the same moving crew from start to finish.

That way you can be assured that your prized possessions are in good and secure hands. Let our professional movers make your long-distance move easy, efficient, and effortless.

At Meathead Movers, we pride ourselves on providing a premium nationwide moving experience, whether that’s within the state of California, or a cross-country move. Our long-distance, nationwide movers specialize in professional out-of-state moving services across the United States.

This way, you can trust that all your belongings will stay in the same hands for a safe and secure move.

Fully-Loaded Transportation

Not only do we have high standards for our movers, but we also ensure that we use the most modern and up-to-date equipment and fully-loaded trucks when transporting your furniture and belongings during a long-distance move.

How To Evaluate Moving Companies That Move Long Distance

Here at Meathead Movers, we are changing the way that long-distance moves are traditionally handled. We have heard the endless horror stories of long-distance moves that result in lost items, broken items, hidden charges, and late arrivals. In our quest to revolutionize the entire moving industry, we knew we had to offer a premier long-distance moving service that was completely different from the van lines.

We always encourage our customers to do their own research, so we want to equip you with the tools you need to make an informed decision. Read on to see the top three questions you should be asking any potential long-distance movers before trusting them with your belongings.

FAQs

Are all my movers employees of your company, or are they subcontractors and/or temp laborers?

Many long-distance movers will bring on subcontractors or temp laborers to complete your move. Oftentimes, the people who pack your items into the truck are not the ones who will be unloading them at your final destination. This leads to confusion, missed items, and a disconnection with the customer. It’s extremely important to us at Meathead Movers to ensure the best customer experience. To do that, we employ clean-cut, drug-free, background-checked athletes to complete your job from start to finish.

At any point, will anyone else’s items be in my shipment?

Many times, long-distance movers won’t disclose the fact that your items will actually be joined by another movers’ goods. When this happens, it usually leads to delivery dates being pushed and items getting lost. At Meathead Movers, we guarantee that your belongings will always travel alone, in the same truck, by the same crew, and on time.

What is every potential way that the cost of the move could increase?

Almost all traditional long-distance movers will charge you based on the weight of your items. It is extremely difficult for a customer to measure the weight of the items beforehand, leading to many unexpected charges. As with all of our moves, we decide on a not-to-exceed price before beginning any job. We will tell you how much your long-distance move could cost, and we will not charge you a dollar more. Occasionally, it even costs you less!

Let us help you with your long-distance move to, from, or within California. With our 100% satisfaction guarantee, you won’t have to worry about any of the struggles that a traditional long-distance mover might cause.

Janet F.

Interstate Move from Grover Beach to Las Vegas

I would give 20 out of 10 stars if I could. I was so overwhelmed at the outstanding service I received from my first conversation to the office until the truck drove away. The movers were SO AWESOME… First time using a professional moving company and SO glad I went with Meathead Movers They were all so amazing I went to the bank to get more cash to more than double their tips. They could tell I was stressing and told me not to worry about a thing. They reassured me that they are taking care of everything and they did just that. Movedd From San Luis Obispo to Las Vegas. Saying thank you is an understatement.

Andrew A.

Long Distance Move from Glendale to Vacaville

Meathead Movers has the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. They would call to follow up a few days before the move and they were also very patient when I had to reschedule my move twice. I thought that they might be unresponsive after I had to reschedule for a second time but they were incredibly understanding. Amazing service. Michelle was an excellent Relocation Specialist who helped me through the process. Thank you so much for checking in often! Ben S. and Killian D. were the movers from the Bakersfield branch that helped me with my move and they were great. Very amicable and friendly. They packed everything into the van with extreme care and were very attentive when unpacking everything in the new home. Thanks again! I would 100% recommend Meathead Movers to anyone who is planning a move.
