“These guys were incredible! So strong, swift and efficient. Absolute professionals and a joy to work with. Thanks for helping me move so last minute today!”
Long-distance is where a lot of companies quietly become a paperwork operation, selling your move to whoever has a truck near your zip code that week. We do not work that way. Bull City Movers carries US DOT and MC authority for interstate moves, and we run the route ourselves with the people whose names you will know by the end of load day.
Most of our long hauls start on I-40 or I-85 out of Durham and run to Virginia, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and up the East Coast. Because it is one shipment on one truck, we can give you a real delivery window instead of a vague two-week spread.
How long-distance pricing works
Long-distance is a binding written quote, not an hourly guess. The rate is built from weight, distance, and access at both ends, then locked so it cannot creep on you mid-trip.
| Move type | Typical starting point |
|---|---|
| Studio / 1-bedroom out of state | From $1,950 |
| 2–3 bedroom home | Quoted by weight + miles |
| Dedicated truck (no shared load) | Always included |
| Packing or storage add-ons | Priced separately, in writing |
Flat-rate long-distance starts at $1,950 with a binding written quote. A $99 deposit holds the date and applies to your balance. Coverage runs up to $1,000,000 per shipment, with full-value protection available beyond the $0.60-per-pound released standard.
What is not included
A binding quote only stays binding if both sides know what it covers. These sit outside the base number and we put them in writing if you want them.
- Full packing of your home — available as a full-pack or partial-pack add-on.
- Storage in transit if your closing dates do not line up; we have climate-controlled vaults at our Durham warehouse.
- Specialty handling for a piano or safe, from $349.
- Extra stops or shuttle service when a tractor-trailer cannot reach a tight street at either end.
Because it is our truck and our crew the whole way, anything that comes up on the road is handled by people you can actually reach — our Durham office answers the phone.
