Long-distance moving falls under federal regulation, requires interstate operating authority, and is best handled by movers who do it constantly. Apollo Moving & Storage has been an Allied Van Lines agent for decades, which means your move is planned locally in New Castle and executed through one of the largest, most experienced moving networks in North America.
What makes a long-distance move different
Unlike a local move priced by the hour, a long-distance move is based on the weight of your shipment and the distance it travels, plus any services you select such as packing, crating or storage. That's exactly why we insist on a proper survey before quoting: an accurate inventory produces an accurate estimate, and it lets us plan the right truck, crew and timeline.
How Apollo handles your long-distance move
- Personal Relocation Consultant. One person coordinates your survey, estimate, paperwork, packing schedule, pickup and delivery window.
- Professional packing options. Full-service packing, fragile-only packing, or do-it-yourself with our moving supplies.
- Custom crating for artwork, mirrors, glass tops, chandeliers and other pieces that shouldn't ride in a carton.
- Inventory and tracking. Every item is tagged and listed; Allied's shipment tracking shows you where your goods are in transit.
- Allied agents at destination. If you need help unloading or storage at the other end, an Allied agent near your new home is already part of the network.
- Storage-in-transit when your new home isn't ready — see storage.
Where we move people
From New Castle, Pittsburgh, Butler, Beaver County, Hermitage and Youngstown, we regularly relocate families to Florida, the Carolinas, Texas, Arizona, Colorado, the Pacific Northwest, New England and everywhere between. Heading overseas? See our international moving page.
Protecting your belongings on the road
Every interstate shipment includes Basic Liability Protection, and most families choose Allied Extra Care Protection for full replacement value coverage. Your consultant will explain both options, along with high-value inventory forms for items like fine art, collections and jewelry. Details are on our valuation and protection page.
Avoiding moving scams
Long-distance movers should be able to show you a US DOT number, a physical address and a written estimate after a survey. Apollo's DOT number is 2334280, our warehouse is at 3014 New Butler Rd., New Castle, PA 16101, and we'll never ask for a large cash deposit or hold your goods for surprise charges.
