Long-distance moves · route and shipment pricing

Long-distance pricing by recorded distance.

Within North Carolina, long-distance transportation uses estimated shipment weight and distance, rather than the local hourly rates. For interstate moves, we prepare the quote from your agreed inventory and estimated cubic footage. Distance, fuel, access and requested services also affect the estimate. We provide one written binding transportation price for the agreed inventory and scope; changes require review under your written estimate.

About these graphs

The bars show the middle 50% of recorded charges and the dots show medians. Half of recorded charges fall outside each bar. Local and long-distance charts have different dollar scales. Values round to $25 locally and $100 for long-distance.

The source is a 2026 SmartMoving All Jobs snapshot. Local data cover completed residential Local/Hourly/Moving jobs with positive volume and total charges. Each job is counted once. Home-size labels are approximate inventory-volume guides, not recorded bedroom counts.

Long-distance data cover apparent complete residential relocations grouped by Job Number prefix. Actual totals are summed once per unique job, not once per repeated volume. Moving, loading, unloading, travel, packing and overnight truck storage may be included; warehouse/storage-in/out and other job types are excluded. Grouping has not been reconciled to final invoices. Maximum recorded leg is the route-distance proxy, and this cohort covers routes through 700 miles.

The NC split is over 50 to under 150 miles and 150+ miles, with exactly 150 in the upper band. This round breakpoint was chosen to balance the groups, not prices. Only aggregated data are displayed.

It is not an hourly charge. Gas-station stops and traffic delays on those trips do not change the fee. Share your addresses so we can include it in your estimate.

Bulky-item fees may apply.

Tell us about large or specialty items when you request an estimate. We’ll explain any additional charges before your move.

Basic Value Protection

For North Carolina household moves, Basic Value Protection limits the mover’s liability to $0.60 per pound per article, subject to the applicable terms. It is based on an item’s weight, not its replacement price.

Optional upgrade

Full Value Protection

1 truck: $0.05 per estimated pound
2 trucks: $0.075 per estimated pound

If an item is lost or damaged while in our care, we may repair it, replace it with an item of like kind and quality, or pay the applicable repair or replacement cost. This protection is subject to your shipment’s declared value and the applicable terms and exclusions.

Read the NCUC valuation guide

These North Carolina rates apply at the minimum declared shipment value. Declaring a higher value increases the protection charge. The premium is not your shipment’s value or a guaranteed claim payment. Select your valuation in your move documents before the move begins. Interstate valuation options and charges are explained separately in your estimate.

How is long-distance pricing determined?

For long-distance household moves within North Carolina, pricing uses estimated weight and distance traveled rather than local hourly rates. For interstate moves, we use your agreed inventory and estimated cubic footage to prepare a binding transportation quote. Distance, fuel, access, packing, specialty handling and other requested services also affect the estimate.

We provide one binding transportation price for the agreed inventory and scope. Changes to your belongings, services, or access require review under your written estimate.
