Hear from Our Customers
You get a quote that doesn’t double when the truck arrives. Your belongings show up when they’re supposed to, wrapped properly and intact. You’re not chasing down a sales rep who won’t return your calls or wondering if your furniture is sitting in a warehouse somewhere.
Long distance moves fail when communication stops and accountability disappears. That’s where most companies lose you. We stay reachable, keep you updated, and treat your move like it matters—because to you, it does.
Whether you’re relocating to North Carolina for work, heading to Texas for a fresh start, or moving a parent to Florida, you need someone who understands the logistics and actually follows through. That’s what we do. No theatrics, no runaround—just a solid move from start to finish.
All Terrain Moving and Junk Removal Inc. has been serving Calverton, NY and the surrounding Long Island area for years. We’re based in Islandia, fully licensed and insured, and we handle everything from small apartment moves to 10,000 square foot homes going cross country.
Matt, the owner, runs the operation with a straightforward approach: fair pricing, clear communication, and careful handling. We’re not the biggest moving company out there, and we’re fine with that. What we are is reliable, responsive, and experienced in the kind of long distance moving services that require planning, patience, and follow-through.
Calverton residents know what it’s like to deal with the stress of relocating far from home. We’ve moved families out of Suffolk County to nearly every state, and we understand the details that matter—timing around closing dates, coordinating with building management on both ends, and making sure fragile or valuable items get the attention they need.
You reach out, and we ask the right questions: where you’re going, what you’re moving, and when you need to be there. We give you an honest estimate based on the actual scope of the job—no lowball numbers designed to get you on the hook.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we schedule a date and confirm the details in writing. If you need packing services, we bring the materials and handle it. If you’re packing yourself, we walk you through what works best for a long haul so nothing shifts or breaks in transit.
On moving day, we show up on time, load everything with care, and secure it properly for the road. You get updates during the trip, and we coordinate delivery based on your schedule. When we arrive, we unload, place items where you want them, and make sure everything made it in one piece.
If something needs to be disassembled or reassembled—beds, tables, whatever—we take care of it. And if you’ve got junk or unwanted items you don’t want to bring along, we handle removal as part of the process. It’s all part of making the move as seamless as possible.

Our long distance moving services cover the full scope: packing, loading, transport, unloading, and setup. We handle specialty items like pianos, pool tables, safes, and fragile antiques with the right equipment and experience. Everything gets wrapped, padded, and secured to prevent damage on the road.
You’re also working with a company that’s registered with the USDOT and fully insured for interstate moves. That’s not just a formality—it’s your protection if something goes wrong. We’re accountable, and we operate within the regulations that legitimate long distance moving companies are required to follow.
Calverton is seeing more outbound moves than ever, especially to states with lower costs of living and remote work flexibility. We’ve moved people to Tennessee, the Carolinas, Georgia, and Texas—places where housing is more affordable and the pace is different. If that’s your plan, you’re not alone, and we’ve done this route enough times to anticipate the challenges before they become problems.
We also understand that timing matters. If your closing date shifts or your new place isn’t ready, we offer short-term storage solutions so you’re not stuck between locations with nowhere to put your belongings. Flexibility is part of the service, not an upsell.
Long distance moving costs depend on the size of your home, the distance you’re traveling, and what services you need. For most moves, you’re looking at a range between $2,500 and $6,000 for a typical household. Larger homes or cross country relocations can run higher, especially if you’re moving from New York to the West Coast.
We base our pricing on weight, mileage, and labor. That means you get a clear breakdown of what you’re paying for, not a vague estimate that changes when the truck is already loaded. If you need packing services, that’s an additional cost, but we’ll tell you upfront what it includes.
The biggest mistake people make is going with the cheapest quote without asking questions. If a price sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Low estimates often come with hidden fees, last-minute upcharges, or worse—movers who hold your belongings hostage until you pay more. We don’t operate that way, and we’ll put everything in writing so there’s no confusion later.
Transit time depends on where you’re going. A move to a neighboring state like Pennsylvania or New Jersey might take one to two days. If you’re heading to Florida, Texas, or the Carolinas, expect three to five days depending on the route and any scheduled stops.
We give you a delivery window, not an exact hour, because long distance moves involve variables—traffic, weather, fuel stops, and DOT-required rest periods for drivers. But we stay in contact throughout the trip so you’re not left guessing. If there’s a delay, you’ll know about it before it becomes a problem.
Some companies offer “guaranteed delivery dates” for an extra fee. That can be worth it if your timeline is tight, but in most cases, a realistic window works fine as long as the mover is communicating. We’ve found that honesty about timing beats overpromising and underdelivering every time.
Yes. We offer full packing services, partial packing, or just the materials if you want to handle it yourself. Full service means we bring the boxes, wrap everything, pack it securely, and label it for easy unpacking on the other end. Partial packing is usually for fragile items, kitchens, or anything you’d rather not deal with.
If you’re packing on your own, we recommend starting early and using sturdy boxes—not whatever you grabbed from the grocery store. Long distance moves put more stress on your belongings than local ones, so proper packing matters. We can walk you through what works best, especially for dishes, electronics, and anything breakable.
Packing services add to the cost, but they also reduce the risk of damage and save you a significant amount of time. If you’re juggling work, kids, and a move across state lines, the investment usually makes sense. We’ve seen too many people try to cut corners on packing and regret it when things arrive broken.
Yes. We’re registered with the U.S. Department of Transportation and fully insured for long distance moving services. That registration isn’t optional—it’s required by federal law for any company transporting household goods across state lines. If a mover can’t provide a USDOT number, that’s a red flag.
Insurance is another critical piece. We carry liability coverage, and we can explain what’s included and what’s not before you book. Basic coverage is typically included, but it’s minimal—usually around 60 cents per pound per item. If you’re moving valuable or irreplaceable items, you may want to purchase additional coverage or check your homeowner’s policy.
The reason this matters is simple: if something gets damaged or lost and your mover isn’t properly licensed or insured, you have little to no recourse. We’ve heard too many horror stories about unlicensed movers who disappear after a job goes wrong. We’re not those guys, and we can prove it with documentation.
This happens more often than you’d think, especially with closing delays or lease start dates that shift. If your new place isn’t ready, we offer short-term storage so your belongings aren’t stuck on a truck or, worse, delivered to a location you can’t access yet.
Storage costs vary depending on how much space you need and how long you need it, but it’s a straightforward solution that keeps your move on track. We’ll coordinate the storage drop-off and then schedule delivery once you’re ready. It’s not ideal, but it’s better than scrambling at the last minute or paying for a hotel while your stuff sits in limbo.
The key is communication. If you know there’s a chance your timeline might shift, let us know as early as possible. We can build in flexibility, but it’s a lot harder to adjust once the truck is already en route. Planning for contingencies is part of what separates a smooth move from a stressful one.
Start with their USDOT number. Every legitimate interstate moving company is required to have one, and you can look it up on the FMCSA website to check their safety record and complaint history. If they won’t give you that number or they don’t have one, walk away.
Next, read reviews—but read them carefully. Look for patterns, not just star ratings. Do people mention damaged items, hidden fees, or delivery delays? Or do they talk about clear communication, careful handling, and fair pricing? A few bad reviews aren’t a dealbreaker, but a pattern of the same complaints is.
Finally, get everything in writing. A legitimate mover will provide a detailed estimate that breaks down costs, explains what’s included, and outlines the terms. If someone gives you a quote over the phone without asking about the details of your move, that’s a warning sign. We take the time to understand what you’re moving because that’s the only way to give you an accurate price and a realistic timeline.
