LONG DISTANCE MOVE

We refer to long distance as any move that crosses state lines and is over approximately 75 miles. This type of move is regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation. When making a move, it is important to use state and interstate licensed movers because that will guarantee that the company you choose is also insured.

When you start shopping for a moving company, you will find an unlimited number of movers to choose from. You can narrow your selection by checking performance records with the U.S. Dept. of Transportation or your local Better Business Bureau.

COST

Moving long distance can be very costly. Obtaining accurate estimates are important and will insure there are no unexpected charges. In general, interstate moves are priced according to weight or cubic feet. Nobel Van Lines charges by the cubic foot and the weight. By using this method, we can guarantee the cost of your move before it has been loaded onto our truck and provide you with the complete cost of your move to the last penny. Prices based on weight are usually estimates and can be adjusted after the truck has been weighed. A generally accepted industry standard equation for comparing estimates of weight to cubic feet is divide weight by 7 to get cubic feet or to multiply cubic feet by 7 to get weight. In general, the cost of interstate moves are broken down into 3 parts:

• Transportation - The Transportation is the price you pay to transport your goods from point A to point B. As stated, Nobel Van Lines charges by the cubic foot. The price per cubic foot varies based upon the distance of the move.

• Insurance - Included in your move costs, at no additional charge, is the basic insurance coverage of $.60 per pound as is required by the U.S. Dept. of Transportation. You can obtain other types of coverage either through Nobel Van Lines or your own insurance company. To get more information about insurance options, please click here.

In addition to these primary cost components, you may be subject to other charges on a special needs basis. As example, there may be extra charges for custom made wooden crates, hoisting, or stairs at the delivery destination. All these will be discussed up front prior to your move and will be included in your total move cost quote. Another important issue that can arise is getting a tractor trailer access to your new home. In some cases, they can not approach and need to be off-loaded to a smaller truck for delivery. In this case, you would be charge an extra cost for the labor time.
