You’re not wondering if your furniture will arrive in one piece. You’re not getting surprise charges when the truck shows up. You already know what you’re paying, when your stuff will arrive, and who’s handling it.
That’s what happens when you work with a licensed long distance moving company that’s actually insured and bonded. Your quote is your quote. Your delivery window is realistic, not a guess. And if something does go wrong—which is rare—you’re covered by real cargo insurance, not excuses.
The move itself? It’s handled by people who’ve done this hundreds of times. We know how to pack a dresser so it doesn’t get scratched. We know how to load a truck so nothing shifts during an eight-hour drive. And we show up when we say we will, because that’s the baseline, not a bonus.
All Terrain Moving and Junk Removal Inc. is a locally operated moving company based on Long Island. We handle local and long distance moves for families and businesses throughout Coram, Suffolk County, Nassau County, and Queens County.
We’re fully licensed with the Department of Transportation (DOT# 3706838, MC# 1340650). We carry extensive cargo insurance and bonding. That’s not marketing language—it’s the legal requirement for any interstate moving company, and plenty of companies skip it.
Coram families are moving out of state more than ever. Boston, Miami, Philadelphia—we’ve made those trips dozens of times. We know what it takes to get your belongings from a Long Island driveway to a new state without the drama, the upcharges, or the runaround.
First, you get a quote based on weight, distance, and what you’re moving. We can do this over the phone or in person. No pressure, no upselling. Just a number that reflects what the job actually costs.
Once you book, we schedule your move. You’ll get a packing option if you want it—we’ll disassemble furniture, wrap everything properly, and load the truck. If you’d rather pack yourself, that’s fine too. Either way, we’re showing up with the right equipment and enough people to do it efficiently.
On moving day, we load your belongings, secure everything, and hit the road. For long distance moves, delivery windows depend on distance and route. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe upfront—not a promise we can’t keep. Once we arrive, we unload, reassemble what needs it, and make sure everything’s where you want it.
If you need short-term storage between move-out and move-in dates, we offer that too. It’s common, especially when you’re coordinating a cross-country move with a closing date or lease start.

Every long distance move includes licensed, insured transport with full DOT compliance. That means your belongings are legally covered from pickup to delivery, and we’re accountable to federal standards.
You also get professional loading and unloading. We’re not just tossing boxes in a truck. We’re using furniture pads, straps, and proper stacking techniques to prevent damage during transit. Disassembly and reassembly of furniture is included when needed.
If you want full-service packing, we provide that too. We bring the materials, wrap everything from dishes to dressers, and label it all so unpacking isn’t a nightmare. For families moving out of Coram to places like Boston or Miami, this is often worth it—you’re already dealing with enough.
Coram’s median home price hit $550K last year, and plenty of families are cashing out and relocating. If that’s you, know this: long distance moving costs are based on weight and mileage. A typical 3-bedroom home moving 1,000 miles will run between $4,000 and $8,000 depending on how much stuff you have and what services you add. We’ll give you an accurate estimate before you commit to anything.
Long distance moving companies charge based on the weight of your shipment and the distance traveled. For a typical move from Coram to another state, expect to pay between $2,500 and $11,000 depending on the size of your home and how far you’re going.
A 2-bedroom apartment moving to Boston might cost $3,000 to $5,000. A 4-bedroom house moving to Florida could run $7,000 to $10,000 or more. The price includes transportation, loading, unloading, and basic liability coverage.
Additional costs come from packing services, storage, or specialty items like pianos or antiques. We’ll give you a binding estimate upfront so there’s no confusion. If the weight is higher than estimated, we’ll explain why before we load the truck—not after.
Check for a DOT number and MC number. Every interstate moving company is required to register with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. You can look up their license, insurance status, and complaint history on the FMCSA website.
Ask if they’re insured and bonded. Real moving companies carry cargo insurance that covers your belongings during transit. If they dodge this question or say “we’re careful,” that’s a red flag.
Get everything in writing. A legitimate moving company will provide a written estimate, a clear contract, and a bill of lading on moving day. If someone asks for a large deposit upfront or only accepts cash, walk away. That’s how moving scams work, and they’re more common than you’d think.
Most long distance moving companies provide a delivery window, not a guaranteed date. For moves under 500 miles, expect delivery within 1 to 3 days. For moves over 1,000 miles, it’s typically 5 to 10 business days.
The reason for the window is logistics. Long distance movers often consolidate shipments to keep costs down. Your belongings might share truck space with another family’s stuff, and the route is planned to accommodate multiple stops.
If you need a guaranteed delivery date, ask about it upfront. Some companies offer it for an extra fee. Otherwise, plan for flexibility on the back end—don’t schedule your move-in for the first possible day in the window. Give yourself buffer time so you’re not stuck waiting in an empty house.
It depends on how much time you have and how much you’re moving. Packing services cost extra—usually $500 to $2,000 depending on the size of your home—but they save you days of work and reduce the risk of damage.
Professional packers know how to wrap fragile items, disassemble furniture properly, and pack a box so it doesn’t collapse under weight. If you’re moving dishes, glassware, electronics, or anything breakable, it’s worth considering.
If you’re packing yourself, use quality materials. Cheap boxes fall apart. Don’t overpack—keep boxes under 50 pounds so they’re manageable. And label everything with the room and contents. It sounds obvious, but you’ll thank yourself when you’re unpacking in a new state and don’t have to open 30 boxes to find your coffee maker.
If you hired a licensed and insured moving company, you’re covered by their cargo insurance. Federal law requires interstate movers to offer basic liability coverage at no extra cost—this covers $0.60 per pound per item.
That’s not much. A 50-pound TV that gets damaged would only net you $30. That’s why most people opt for full-value protection, which costs more but covers the actual replacement or repair cost of damaged items.
If something does get damaged, document it immediately. Take photos, note it on the delivery paperwork, and file a claim with the moving company within the timeframe specified in your contract (usually 9 months). Legitimate companies will work with you to resolve it. Scam companies will disappear.
Yes. Most long distance moving companies offer short-term or long-term storage as part of the move. This is common when your move-out date and move-in date don’t line up, or if you’re still house-hunting in your new state.
Storage costs vary depending on how much space you need and how long you need it. Expect to pay $100 to $300 per month for a typical household’s worth of stuff. Your belongings are stored in a climate-controlled facility, and you can usually access them with advance notice.
We offer storage for Coram families who are moving out of state and need a buffer. It’s one less thing to coordinate when you’re already managing a long distance move, a closing, and everything else that comes with relocating.
