Interstate Movers

Are you planning a long distance interstate move for your family? If so, relocation across state lines involves a lot of moving pieces and choosing a quality moving company is paramount.

Moving from one city to another can be stressful enough. Moving across states can be still more stressful and risky. Valuable possessions can be damaged or lost.

What if there was a way to make moves safer, smoother, and less stressful? There is! Call Craig Van Lines–we know how to make moving easy, whether it’s local or across the country.

Your Rights

Federal regulations protect movers’ property, privacy, and rights as they transition between states. The law requires that moving companies meet several key requirements, including …

Insurance
Not only are moving companies required to have insurance in case of loss or damage of household goods, but they are also required to protect employees with insurance. You can rest assured that your household travels safely, with your stuff intact.
US Department of Transportation Tracking
Moving companies are given a number upon being registered with the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration). This number allows them to be tracked and held accountable while serving moving needs.
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Registration
To be registered with the FMCSA, a moving company must meet rigorous safety and reliability standards. These standards include consumer protection regulations, financial responsibility, and more. To learn more about the specifics of rights to expect from moving companies, you can read the federal handbook, which details requirements for moving companies.

Long Distance Moving Tips

Moving long distance can be a challenging and stressful experience, but with proper planning and preparation, it can be a smoother process. Here are some tips to help you with your long distance move:

Plan early: Start planning your move as early as possible to avoid last-minute chaos. Create a moving checklist and timeline to keep track of all the tasks that need to be completed.
Research moving companies: Do your research and find a reliable moving company, like Craig Van Lines, that specializes in long distance moves. Read reviews, compare quotes, and choose a company that fits your needs and budget.
Declutter: Moving long distance can be expensive, so it’s important to declutter and get rid of any items you don’t need or use. Sell, donate, or discard anything you don’t plan on taking with you.
Pack carefully: If you dont use our packing services, be sure to use high-quality packing materials and label all boxes clearly. Pack fragile items carefully and use bubble wrap, packing paper, or foam peanuts to protect them during transport.
Create an inventory: Create a detailed inventory of all your belongings to keep track of everything during the move. This can also help you with insurance claims in case of any damage or loss.
Notify important parties: Notify important parties such as your bank, insurance companies, and utility providers of your move and provide them with your new address.
Prepare for the journey: Long distance moves can take several days, so prepare for the journey by packing essentials in a separate bag or box. This can include clothes, toiletries, and important documents.
Stay organized: Keep all your important documents and paperwork in one place, such as a folder or binder, and keep it with you during the move.
Check regulations: If you’re moving to a new state or country, make sure to check the regulations for moving and transporting certain items, such as plants, pets, or firearms.
Stay in touch: Keep in touch with your moving company and stay updated on the progress of your move. Also, stay in touch with friends and family to let them know you arrived safely at your new destination.
