Moving can be one of the most stressful experiences in your life, especially when the move takes you across long distances. Whether you're relocating for work, for family or simply for a change of scenery, nothing should stand in the way of picking up and moving cross-country. For most people, the obstacle isn't the destination — it's the move itself. That's where we come in.
What is a cross-country move?
In contrast to local or intrastate moves, cross-country moves fall under federal regulation for transporting household goods from state to state. Companies performing these moves must hold interstate authority and carry appropriate insurance to protect both the shipment and the customer. Apollo Moving & Storage meets those requirements as an Allied Van Lines agent operating under US DOT number 2334280.
How we make a coast-to-coast move manageable
- A detailed survey. We inventory every room, closet, garage and shed so your estimate and your truck space are right.
- A move plan with dates. Packing days, load day and a delivery window are put in writing.
- Professional packing and crating. Long transit distances are exactly when professional packing pays for itself.
- A dedicated driver. Your driver supervises loading, secures the shipment and stays with it to destination whenever possible.
- Tracking and communication. You can follow your shipment and reach your consultant with questions anytime.
- Destination support. Allied agents near your new home assist with unloading, unpacking and storage if you need it.
Common cross-country destinations
From Pittsburgh, New Castle, Butler and the Mahoning Valley we frequently move customers to California, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Texas and Florida — and we bring families back home to Western Pennsylvania from those same places. Because Allied's network covers every state, there's no destination we can't reach.
Protecting what matters on a long haul
We recommend Allied Extra Care Protection for cross-country shipments so that, in the rare event something is damaged, it's repaired or replaced at full value rather than by weight. Your consultant will explain coverage levels and help you complete a High Value Inventory form for items that need it. Read more on our valuation & protection page.
