Long Distance Moves

TO US_Map

Any out of state move or a move with distance over 100 miles is considered long distance.

Thousand Oaks Movers is a fully insured company. We provide full service long distance relocation services to our residential and commercial customers moving anywhere in 20 Western states and some of the North East part of United States. Our dispatch department is ready to work with anyone and help them in any possible way. Even if we are not able to make a delivery ourselves we can refer you to a reputable and reasonably priced company.

The cost of long distance move is determined by the size of the shipment and the distance to the new location.

Most of the competition is determining the size of shipment by the cubic feet it takes inside their truck or trailer. However, American Moving and Storage Association has advised customers to work with companies that determine the size of shipment by its weight.

Thousand Oaks Movers weighs their trucks (at the government certified scales) empty - prior to getting to customers house and later after truck is loaded it will be weighed again. The customer can be present at both times. The difference between the empty weight and the heavy weight is known as payload, or the weight of your shipment.

The tariff is then applied to the weight and this is how simple you get the transportation cost of the move.

Light Weight of truck = 15,100 lbs.
Heavy Weight of truck = 19,400 lbs.
Payload/weight of your shipment = 4,300 lbs.
Tariff (Los Angeles, CA to Henderson, NV - 275 miles) = $0.32/lb.
Transportation cost (4,300 X .32) = $1,376.00

Simple transportation includes:

Inventory and marking each item with designated sticker, which number will be represented on the inventory form (will be signed by customer and mover)
Protecting furniture with blankets,
Loading the truck,
The drive from old to new residence,
