Why Choose Frank & Sons for Long Distance Moving
Long distance moving is fundamentally different from local moving. The federal regulations, the multi day transit, the cross state coordination, and the higher value of a typical long distance shipment all combine to create a service category that demands real expertise. Most local movers handle long distance moves occasionally as an add on service. Frank & Sons has been specializing in long distance moves for over 40 years, and that focus shows in every aspect of our operation.
When you hire Frank & Sons for a long distance move, you are not getting a local mover stretched outside its comfort zone. You are getting a moving company that has navigated the I-95 corridor north thousands of times. We have crossed I-10 west to Texas. We have run trucks up I-75 through Atlanta and beyond. Every interstate, every weather pattern, every regulatory checkpoint, and every common challenge of long distance moving is something our family business has handled before.
That experience translates into real benefits for our customers. Faster transit times because we know the routes. Better pricing because we know the costs. Fewer surprises because we know what can go wrong and how to prevent it. And a level of customer service that only a 40+ year family business can deliver, because our reputation is on the line with every single move.

Long Distance Questions
Long Distance Moving Questions
Everything you need to know before your long distance move with Frank & Sons. From timelines to pricing to federal regulations, we have the answers.
Long distance move timelines vary based on distance and route. A move from Florida to Georgia or Alabama typically takes 2 to 3 days. Florida to the Northeast such as New York or Massachusetts usually takes 3 to 5 days. Florida to Texas runs 4 to 6 days. Cross country moves to California or the Pacific Northwest can take 7 to 14 days. We provide accurate delivery windows during your free estimate.
Long distance moves are priced based on weight and distance, not by the hour like local moves. The total weight of your shipment is calculated at the loading point, and pricing factors in fuel, mileage, and any additional services like packing or specialty handling. We provide a free in home estimate with binding pricing so you know your total cost before move day with no surprise charges.
Yes. Frank and Sons Moving and Storage is fully federally licensed and DOT registered for interstate moves. Long distance moving across state lines is regulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, and we hold all required federal credentials. We carry comprehensive liability insurance, workers compensation, and cargo protection coverage. Always verify any long distance mover has a valid USDOT number before signing a contract.
For a long distance move, book your estimate 6 to 8 weeks before your target move date. During peak summer season or snowbird transitions in fall and spring, book 8 to 12 weeks ahead to secure your preferred dates. The earlier you book, the more flexibility you have on pickup dates, delivery windows, and pricing. Last minute long distance moves are possible but often come with limited date options.
No. Frank and Sons handles long distance moves with one truck, one crew, and one accountability chain from origin to destination. Your belongings are not transferred between trucks, mixed with other shipments, or broken into shared loads like some national van line operations. This direct transport approach reduces risk of damage, simplifies tracking, and ensures the same crew that loaded your home is the one delivering it.
A binding estimate is a written guarantee that the price you are quoted is the price you will pay. Many long distance movers provide non binding estimates that allow them to add charges on move day, sometimes dramatically. Frank and Sons provides binding written estimates so your final cost matches your quote. This protects you from the bait and switch tactics common in the long distance moving industry. Always insist on a binding written estimate before signing any contract.
Yes. We offer secure in transit storage at our Florida warehouse if your delivery date is not finalized or if there is a gap between your move out date and your destination availability. Our professionally staffed warehouse offers 24 hour security and climate friendly conditions to keep your belongings safe. Whether you need storage for a few days, a few weeks, or a few months, we can accommodate any timeline.
Federal regulations prohibit movers from transporting hazardous materials including flammable liquids, explosives, propane tanks, paint, gasoline, and aerosols. Perishable food, plants, and live animals also cannot be moved long distance. Important documents, jewelry, cash, medications, and irreplaceable items should travel with you personally. We provide a complete prohibited items list during your estimate so you can plan accordingly before move day.
Long distance moves require more protection than local moves because of the multi day transit. We wrap furniture in moving blankets and stretch wrap, use custom crating for fragile items like artwork and antiques, secure everything with straps and tie downs to prevent shifting, and maintain detailed inventory tracking. All long distance shipments are covered by federal cargo protection at minimum, with additional valuation coverage available for high value items.
Yes. We provide continuous communication throughout your long distance move. You will have direct contact with your move coordinator who provides updates at every major checkpoint, including pickup completion, departure from origin, mid transit status, and arrival at destination. For multi day cross country moves, we keep you informed every step of the way so you always know where your belongings are and when to expect delivery.
