Hear from Our Customers
You get a binding quote based on weight, not a low-ball estimate that doubles at delivery. That’s federal regulation, and we follow it.
Your belongings get loaded by the same crew that shows up on time, not a rotating cast of subcontractors. We pack it right the first time because repacking on the road costs you days.
You receive actual delivery windows, not vague promises. Moves under 500 miles typically arrive within 2-5 days. Cross-country hauls of 2,000+ miles take 7-14 days. We tell you this upfront because your planning matters more than our marketing.
If you need storage between move-out and move-in, we handle it. Storage in Transit is common for long distance moves, and we’ve been coordinating it for clients across Long Island for over a decade.
Scott and Matt started All Terrain Moving because they watched too many Long Island families get burned by movers who overpromise and underdeliver. That was 15 years ago.
We’re not a national franchise with temporary workers. Our crews know Long Island’s roads, parking situations, and building regulations. We’re licensed, insured, and bonded because that’s baseline, not a selling point.
When other companies cancel last-minute, we’re the ones people call. We’ve built our reputation on showing up and doing what we said we’d do. Commack families moving to North Carolina, Texas, or Florida don’t have time for games, and neither do we.
You contact us for a free quote. We ask about your inventory, distance, and timeline. We give you a binding estimate based on weight, which is how federal guidelines require long distance moves to be priced.
You schedule your move date. We confirm the pickup window and delivery window in writing. No surprises.
Our crew arrives on schedule with all packing supplies. We handle everything from standard furniture to pianos, safes, and pool tables. If it’s unusual or heavy, we’ve moved it before.
We load, transport, and deliver within the confirmed window. We don’t leave until each piece is placed and set up where you want it. If you need storage during the transition, we coordinate that too.
You’re settled by dinner, not unpacking at midnight. That’s the difference between a crew that knows what they’re doing and one that’s winging it.
Ready to get started?
You get professional packing with all supplies included. We’re talking boxes, tape, padding, and wrapping for everything from dishes to antiques. Our crew packs it so you don’t have to take another day off work.
You get full insurance options beyond the basic federal minimum of $0.60 per pound. We recommend Full Value Protection for long distance moves because when you’re traveling hundreds of miles, the risk is real.
You get transparent communication. If weather or traffic affects timing, we call you. You won’t be left wondering where your stuff is or when it’s arriving.
Long Island to the South is one of the most common routes we run. With over 128,000 people leaving New York annually for states like North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and Florida, we’ve learned every detail of these corridors. We know the timing, the regulations, and the common issues before they become your problem.
The average long distance move costs around $3,500 based on 7,000 pounds traveling 1,000 miles. Your actual cost depends on weight and distance, which is why binding quotes matter.
We weigh your belongings and give you a final price before moving day. That number doesn’t change at delivery unless you add items. Federal regulations require weight-based pricing for interstate moves, so any company giving you a cubic-foot estimate or a price per room is either inexperienced or setting you up for surprise charges.
If you’re moving a typical three-bedroom home from Commack to North Carolina, expect to be in the $3,000-$5,000 range depending on how much stuff you actually have. We give you the real number upfront because your budget planning matters.
Moves under 500 miles typically arrive within 2-5 days. Cross-country moves of 2,000+ miles take 7-14 days. These are industry-standard windows, not something we made up.
We give you a guaranteed delivery window in writing. That window accounts for loading, transit, and unloading time. It also accounts for federal driving hour regulations that limit how long our drivers can be on the road each day.
If you’re moving from Commack to Florida, expect 5-7 days. Commack to Texas or the West Coast, expect 10-14 days. Weather and traffic can affect timing, which is why we communicate throughout the move. You’ll know where your stuff is and when it’s arriving.
We offer Storage in Transit, which is extremely common for long distance moves. Your belongings get stored in a secure facility for days or months until you’re ready for delivery.
This happens when your lease ends before your new home is ready, when you’re closing on a house but the date keeps shifting, or when you’re relocating for work but haven’t found permanent housing yet. It’s not a problem—it’s part of the process.
We coordinate the pickup, storage, and final delivery so you’re not managing three different companies. Everything stays with us from start to finish. You pay for the storage time, but you don’t pay for multiple loading and unloading fees.
We handle all packing if you want us to. Our crew brings every supply needed and packs everything from dishes to furniture to specialty items like antiques or electronics.
Most people doing long distance moves choose full packing service because they don’t have time to do it right, and improper packing is the main reason things get damaged over hundreds of miles. We know how to pack for long haul transport.
If you prefer to pack yourself, that’s fine. We still provide padding and wrapping for furniture and large items during loading. But understand that if something breaks because it wasn’t packed correctly, insurance won’t cover it. We’re not trying to upsell you—we’re telling you what we’ve learned from 15 years of doing this.
We’re licensed, insured, and bonded with 15+ years serving Long Island families. We’re not a broker who sells your move to the lowest bidder. We’re the crew that shows up.
You can verify our credentials, read our Google reviews, and talk to Scott directly before booking. We give you a binding quote in writing, not a vague estimate that triples at delivery.
The moving industry has a scam problem. Companies that lowball quotes, demand cash on delivery, or hold your belongings hostage are real. We’re a family-owned business that’s been in Commack for over a decade. Our reputation is everything, and you can check it before you hire us.
Every interstate move includes basic coverage at $0.60 per pound per item, which is the federal minimum. That means a 50-pound TV is covered for $30. It’s not enough.
We recommend Full Value Protection, which covers the actual replacement value of your belongings. If something breaks, we repair it, replace it, or reimburse you for current market value.
Long distance moves carry more risk than local moves because your stuff is traveling hundreds of miles, getting loaded and unloaded, and spending days in transit. We pack and handle everything professionally to minimize that risk, but insurance exists for a reason. We’ll walk you through your options before you book so you can make the right call for your situation.
