Cross Country Moving, Interstate Moving, Nationwide Moving... just what kind of moving service is it?
Moving is one thing that most people handle differently. Some people find themselves in a major worry cycle with each and every move while other folks seem to take everything in stride. No matter how much of a moving pro you happen to be, there is a big difference between moving locally in El Paso and moving interstate. Across town is something you might be capable of handling on your own with dozens of car trips and a few helpful friends. On the other hand, moving across the country or even just several states over will call for packing your belongings into a single trip, including all the bulky furniture, which means you will need a moving truck, a bunch of packing material, and probably a team of professional movers to make sure you don't smash yourself with your own couch or scratch up the walls as you lumber down the hallway.
But which moving service should you decide on? If you are paging through a catalog of alternatives, especially for long-distance moving, it might appear like there are lots different choices of moving services for long distances and every one goes by different names. In fact, every moving company in the business in your locale, your destination city, and any place in between has a special name for their non-local moves. You may see Nationwide Moving offered, Cross-Country Moving, or Interstate Moving catalogued right beside quirky uncommon names like The Long Move or Anywhere-to-Anywhere. What if you're moving quite a distance but not physically crossing state lines? Do you need a special service for moving coast to coast or to a remote area? Figuring out the difference between these services, or even if different names mean anything at all, can cause an anxiety attack.
But fear not. The truth of the matter is that these are all different terms for the exact same service. Of course, the particulars of what every company has to offer will fluctuate from moving company to moving company, but what they are supplying is not a huge variety of location-specific services. A long-distance move by any other name is still a long-distance move. The crucial thing is the contrast between this and 'local' moves which have a separate type of pricing and planning policies.
Understanding that you are evaluating the same types of service every time is a relief for anxiety-filled professionals and families about to make a life-changing move, but all these different names do make it challenging to look for and contrast the services. To help, here's a little list of all the different ways that we've noticed long-distance moves called. There are probably some we've overlooked because some moving companies get creative, but this will give you a baseline.
Don't allow all these unique names befuddle you. While the search engine results may fluctuate, these are all the same services supplied by different moving companies using slightly distinct terminology. Each one of these services simply means that you will be moving more than a few blocks or towns from your current location in El Paso.
