Cross Country Moving, Interstate Moving, Nationwide Moving... just what type of moving service is it?
Moving is something that folks handle differently. Some people have a major worry cycle with every move while others seem to take to the process like fish to water. Regardless of how much of a moving natural you might be, there is a big difference betwixt moving locally in Little Rock and moving long-distance. Across town is something you might be able to handle as a do-it-yourself project with dozens of car trips and a few friends to assist. But, moving cross-country or even just several states over will mean packing your belongings into a single trip, including all the big furniture, which means you will need a truck, some serious packing material, and probably a team of expert movers to make sure you don't crush yourself with your own sofa or scratch up the floors on your way through.
But which moving service should you choose? If you are looking through a series of options, especially for nationwide moving, it might appear like there are a lot of different styles of moving services for long distances and they all go by different names. Actually, every moving company in the business in your locale, your destination locale, and every place in between has a special name for their non-local moves. You may see Nationwide Moving offered, Cross-Country Moving, or Interstate Moving listed right next to quirky strange names like The Long Move or Anywhere-to-Anywhere. What if you are moving far but not actually crossing state lines? Do you require a special service for relocating coast to coast or to a rural area? Sorting out the difference between these services, or even if different names mean anything at all, can cause an anxiety attack.
But don’t freat. What it boils down to is these are all attention grabbing names for the exact same service. Yes, the specifics of what every company has to offer will vary from moving company to moving company, but what they are providing is not a wide variety of location-specific services. A long-distance move by any other name is still a long-distance move. The crucial thing to understand is the distinction between this and 'local' moves which follow a distinct set of pricing and planning standards.
Understanding that you are evaluating the same levels of service every time is a welcome breather for anxiety-filled professionals and families about to make a huge move, but all these unique names do make it difficult to search for and contrast the services. To help, here is a little list of all the unique ways that we have seen long-distance moves called. There are probably a few we've missed because some moving companies get creative, but this will give you a baseline.
Don't let all these distinct names befuddle you. While the search engine results could vary, these are all alike services provided by different moving companies using slightly varying wording. Each one of these services simply means that you will be moving more than a few blocks or towns from your current location in Little Rock.
