How It Works

Long-distance moves (over 400 miles) are priced primarily by weight and distance, not hourly labor. The average cost is $0.50-1.00 per pound per 1,000 miles. A typical 2-bedroom apartment weighs about 5,000-7,500 lbs. Fuel surcharges (8-15%) and seasonal pricing (June-August is peak) significantly impact the final cost.
