FREEMOVING KIT AND DELIVERY WITH RESERVATION FOR MOVE!!!
(Long Distance only)
Long Distance Moves
A long distance move is a move that is greater than
100-miles from the origin and/or the move crosses
a state line. Two factors determine the major portion
of the cost of your move. They are the distance you
are moving and the weight of your shipment.
Transamerica Moving does not do consolidated shipping.
We do not consolidate your shipment with other customers'
shipments. This method of shipping is a risk for you
to possibly lose some of your items. We want to make
sure that your items are fully taken care of. We also
guarantee next day delivery in the state of California.
Most of us probably don't know the exact total weight
of our belongings. In order to determine an approximate
weight of your shipment, you can use the table below.
When you fill out our online estimate form or call
Transamerica Moving, we will give you our rates for
various weights for budgeting purposes. However, like
all other moving companies, we will be unable to determine
the exact weight of your shipment until the actual
day of the move. We welcome you to join us at a government
regulated weigh station while we weigh the truck with
and without your shipment fully loaded. The difference
between those two weights is the weight of your shipment.
We provide every customer with a receipt with the
copy of the weight of your belongings in the truck.

Besides the transportation charges, additional factors
that will effect the price of your move include:
Packing by the Moving Company.
Accessorial charges which are things
that keep the door of the truck away from the door
of your new or old home such as a flight of stairs,
elevators, excessive long carry, the need to use
a small shuttle vehicle, etc.
Your choice of additional valuation
for the move.
The need for storage in transit
while you are getting settled in your new location.
