"Our townhouse had three levels, so there was a lot of carrying up and down stairs. The crew handled beds, dressers, a sectional, dining furniture, boxes, bikes, and several awkward garage items"

"Dave from Home Doctors was fabulous. He was reasonably priced, always on time and extremely flexible when we changed our project. He removed our carpets, put in 770 square feet of new floors and remodeled our bathroom. At the last minute we added the installation of 10 closet doors, which he spray painted. I would recommend him without hesitation."

"These guys could sherpa a 3 bedroom house up Everest. Fantastic people, seriously the nicest, hardest working people I've ever met. They came 10 min early, and showed punctuality. Packed and wrapped furniture to protect it. Packed every inch of the truck floor to ceiling."

"Excellent Moving Experience! I had a great experience with MLV Transportation moving from Culver City, California, all the way to Clinton, Massachusetts! The team was professional, friendly, and hardworking throughout the entire process. They handled my belongings with care, kept me updated, and made my long-distance move much easier and less stressful. Everything arrived in great condition, and the customer service was excellent. I highly recommend MLV Transportation to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy moving company. Thank you, MLV team, for making my move a smooth experience!"

Moving FAQs, answered by experts

It’s best to book local movers about three months in advance to ensure your moving date is available, as most of the time, you’ll have a fairly tight window for moving your belongings. When booking your moving date, provide your moving team with as much detailed information as possible to prepare for the big day. Let your movers know an estimate of how many boxes they’ll move, any large or bulky items, number of bedrooms in your current home, the type of moving vehicle, and more.

Yes, there are sometimes hidden costs when hiring a moving company. These can include fees for packing, handling, and assembling specific large items, fees for packing materials used, and charges for trips over a certain mileage. To avoid hidden fees, always request a detailed quote before booking or paying a deposit.

When planning an out-of-state move, you should aim to save enough money to cover at least two to three months of living expenses, including rent, food, utilities, and transportation. Ideally, saving for six months or more is best, especially if you don't have a job lined up. You also need to budget for the transition costs, such as a moving vehicle rental, hiring movers, and packing materials. Cross-country moves typically cost between $2,400 and $6,860. You can calculate your estimated moving costs in advance based on factors like distance, weight, and the number of bedrooms.

The level of difficulty for this type of move depends on the size of the safe. However, even a small gun safe can weigh several hundred pounds. Since gun safes are large and bulky, they are typically difficult to move and transport unless you have the right equipment and plenty of professional help.

The base rental cost of a truck is cheaper, on average, and they tend to offer more room than a container. However, the total cost depends on the rental period, distance, move size, storage needs, and travel costs. The main benefit of choosing moving pods is that you don’t have to drive a large truck by yourself, and they can double as storage space. Shipping containers are more efficient for long-distance moves than trucks.
