How It Works
Get matched with licensed, insured interstate movers in 3 simple steps. Takes under 60 seconds to get started.
Fill Out Our Quick Form
Tell us where you're moving from, where you're going, your planned move date, and the size of your home. The entire form takes under 60 seconds — no credit card, no commitment, no obligation.
Our 3-step form is designed to gather only the information we actually need to match you with the right mover. No lengthy questionnaires, no email verification loops, no waiting for a response. Just enter your details and we go to work immediately.
A Moving Specialist Calls You
Within minutes of submitting your form, a real moving specialist calls you to confirm your details, answer any questions, and provide an accurate, no-obligation quote for your move.
This isn't an automated system or a call center overseas. Our specialists are experienced in interstate relocation and know the routes, regulations, and requirements involved. They'll ask the right questions to make sure your quote is accurate — not a lowball estimate that balloons on moving day.
Book Your Move
Choose from our network of FMCSA-licensed, insured interstate movers, lock in your date and price, and move with total confidence knowing your mover is fully compliant and pre-vetted.
Every mover in our network holds an active USDOT number and FMCSA authority. We verify licensing, insurance, and customer satisfaction before we ever refer a mover to a customer. You get to compare options and choose the mover that fits your timeline and budget.
Why Our Process Protects You
The interstate moving industry has a well-documented fraud problem. Rogue movers — companies operating without FMCSA authority — advertise heavily online, offer suspiciously low quotes, collect deposits, and then either disappear or hold belongings hostage demanding additional payment. The FMCSA receives thousands of complaints about these practices every year.
Our process is designed specifically to protect you from this. Every mover in our network has been verified for active FMCSA licensing, proper cargo and liability insurance, and a legitimate operational history. We don't list every mover who applies — only those who meet our standards.
When our specialist calls you, they're not just collecting your information — they're actively matching you with the mover best suited for your specific route, home size, and timeline. They'll flag potential issues before moving day, not after. And because you're getting a binding estimate, the price you're quoted is the price you pay. Before your move, we also recommend reading our guides on how much a move costs, how to pack, and what to expect on moving day.
Our service is free to use. We're compensated by the moving companies in our network when you book — there's no cost to you, ever. Learn more about how we work.
What to Expect on Moving Day
Once you've booked, here's exactly what happens. For a complete breakdown, read our full moving day guide.
Crew Arrives at Your Home
Your moving crew arrives at the scheduled time with the right equipment — moving blankets, dollies, straps, and packing materials. They'll do a walkthrough before loading begins.
Inventory & Documentation
The crew leader will complete a detailed inventory of every item being moved. You'll sign a Bill of Lading — your legal contract — before anything leaves your home.
Professional Loading
Items are wrapped, padded, and loaded systematically to prevent shifting during transit. Fragile items receive extra protection. Heavy items are loaded first, lighter items on top.
Transit & Tracking
Your belongings travel to your new home. Your coordinator can provide transit updates. Most moves include an estimated delivery window confirmed at booking.
Delivery & Unloading
The crew unloads at your new home, placing items in the rooms you specify. If you booked unpacking services, they'll unpack boxes and remove packing materials.
Final Inspection
Before the crew leaves, do a walkthrough of both your old home (to make sure nothing was missed) and your new home. Note any issues on the Bill of Lading before signing off.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there any cost to use Interstate Moving Co.?
No. Our quote matching service is completely free. You pay nothing to get quotes, speak with a specialist, or compare options. You only pay when you book directly with a mover of your choosing.
How quickly will someone call me after I submit the form?
Our goal is to call you within 5 minutes during business hours (Mon–Fri 8am–8pm ET, Sat 9am–5pm ET). During peak season or high-volume periods, it may take slightly longer, but you'll always receive a callback the same day.
Are the movers you refer actually licensed?
Yes. Every mover in our network holds an active FMCSA license and USDOT number, which is federally required for any company moving household goods across state lines. We verify this before referring any mover to a customer.
Can I get a quote without talking to someone?
Our process is designed around a live specialist callback because it produces the most accurate quote. Automated online quotes for interstate moves are notoriously inaccurate — small details like stair carries, elevator access, and specialty items significantly affect pricing.
What information do I need to have ready for the call?
The more detail the better, but the basics are: your full origin and destination addresses, your planned move date (or a date range), an approximate inventory of what you're moving (number of rooms, any specialty items like pianos or safes), and any access notes (stairs, no elevator, long carry, etc.).
What is a binding estimate and should I get one?
A binding estimate is a guaranteed price — the mover cannot charge more than the agreed amount as long as your inventory doesn't change. A non-binding estimate is based on projected weight and may adjust. For long distance moves, we generally recommend binding estimates so there are no surprises on delivery day.
Do I have to book with the first mover you suggest?
Not at all. Our job is to match you with qualified options. You're free to compare quotes, ask questions, and choose the mover that best fits your needs and budget — with zero pressure.
What happens after I book?
Your moving coordinator will confirm your pickup date, provide a Bill of Lading (your binding contract), and give you a delivery window. On moving day, the crew arrives at your origin address, loads your belongings, transports them to your new home, and unloads. Your coordinator is available throughout.
What if I need to change my move date?
Contact your moving coordinator as soon as possible — most movers can accommodate date changes with sufficient notice. Changes made within 7 days of your move date may be subject to a fee depending on the mover.
Do you handle both residential and commercial moves?
Yes. Our network handles household relocations of all sizes as well as office and commercial moves across state lines. Mention this when speaking with your specialist so they can match you with a mover experienced in commercial relocation.
