Why Choose Motivated Movers Over National Chains?
When selecting a long distance moving company, the difference between national chains and Motivated Movers becomes clear in our approach to responsibility and communication. While large national companies often divide your move among different teams, we believe in providing continuity throughout your entire moving journey:
- Single dedicated crew handles your move from start to finish
- Your movers know exactly what they packed and how it was loaded
- Consistent point of contact throughout the entire process
- Direct communication with the team handling your belongings
- No transferring responsibility between different crews
- Faster transit times without warehouse transfers or consolidations
With Motivated Movers, you're not just another move number in a national dispatch system. Your belongings travel directly from your old home to your new one, with the same trustworthy team handling every step of the process.

Common Questions & Moving Tips

How accurate is an initial quote for long distance moving?
Initial quotes, while accurate, are limited by the amount of information made available to the estimator. Typically in an initial estimate certain assumptions are made about the home, its contents, the readiness of the customer for the move, and limiting factors such as access or specialty needs. The purpose of an initial quote is to give a quick ballpark of the move costs based on the limited information given to the estimator. For simple moves, this is almost always accurate enough because of the years of experience we have in estimating. However, for complex moves, and especially long-distance moves, a detailed estimate is required in order to work through the necessary details and circumstances surrounding the move. For long-distance moving, an initial estimate can be a great way to ensure that a customer has the budget necessary to get professional moving services for their long-distance move. While the initial estimate won’t be exact, it can help the customer see if they are aware of the expected costs.
