You’re not paying for a truck and some muscle. You’re paying for your stuff to arrive undamaged, on time, and without surprise fees tacked on at the end.
That’s what matters when you’re moving across state lines. The estimate you get is the price you pay. The delivery window we give you is the one we hit. And if something fragile matters to you, it gets packed like it matters to us.
We’ve been doing this for over ten years on Long Island. We’ve handled moves to North Carolina, Florida, Texas—basically anywhere people are leaving New York for. We know how interstate moving companies are supposed to work, and we know where most of them cut corners. We don’t pack your boxes in with three other families’ stuff and hope it all works out. Your move gets handled like it’s the only one that matters that day.
All Terrain Moving and Junk Removal Inc. is a family-owned business based in East Farmingdale. We’re fully licensed and insured, which isn’t just a checkbox—it means if something goes wrong, you’re actually covered.
Matt, the owner, runs the operation with a crew that’s handled everything from studio apartments in Queens to full houses moving out of Nassau County. We know Route 110 traffic. We know the narrow staircases in older Long Island homes. We’ve done enough emergency moves to understand that plans change, and we’re set up to handle it.
We’re not the cheapest option. But we’re also not the ones who show up with a lowball estimate and then renegotiate halfway through the job because we “underestimated the cubic feet.” You’ll know what you’re paying before we load a single box.
First, you call or fill out a form. We’ll ask about the size of your place, where you’re going, and what kind of timeline you’re working with. If you need an in-person estimate, we’ll come to you. If you can send photos and a rough inventory, we can usually give you a solid quote over the phone.
Once you’re booked, we’ll confirm your move date and talk through any tricky items—pianos, artwork, antiques, whatever needs extra care. If your timing’s tight or your new place isn’t ready yet, we offer storage. It’s not fancy, but it’s secure and climate-controlled.
On move day, the crew shows up on time. We pack what needs packing, load everything carefully, and secure it so nothing shifts during transport. You’ll get updates along the way. When we arrive at your new place, we unload, unpack if that’s part of the plan, and make sure everything’s where you want it. Then we’re done. No lingering, no upselling, no weirdness.

Packing materials are included. Boxes, tape, bubble wrap—it’s all part of the service. We’re already charging you for labor. Nickel-and-diming you for cardboard doesn’t make sense.
You also get proper packing. That means fragile items go in the right size boxes with the right materials so they don’t shift in transit. Furniture gets wrapped and padded. Heavy items get handled by people who know how to lift without damaging your floors or doorways.
We’re licensed for interstate moves, which matters more than it sounds like it does. It means we’re legally allowed to cross state lines with your belongings, and you’re protected if something goes wrong. A lot of local moving companies aren’t set up for that.
If your move-in date doesn’t line up with your move-out date, we’ve got storage space. It happens more often than you’d think—escrow delays, closing issues, whatever. We’ll hold your stuff until you’re ready. And if you need us there same-day or within 24 hours because something fell through, we can usually make that happen. We keep crews ready for exactly those situations.
It depends on how much stuff you have and how far you’re going. Most long distance moving companies charge based on weight or cubic feet, plus mileage. For a typical two-bedroom apartment moving out of East Farmingdale to somewhere like North Carolina, you’re usually looking at somewhere between $3,000 and $6,000.
That range exists because every move is different. If you’ve got a lot of heavy furniture or you’re moving a whole house, it’s going to cost more. If you’re moving a small apartment and you’ve already purged half your stuff, it’ll cost less.
We give you a quote upfront based on what you tell us and, if needed, what we see in person or in photos. That quote includes labor, materials, transport, and insurance. We’re not going to show up and suddenly tell you it’s going to cost double because we “didn’t realize” how much stuff you had. If the scope changes, we’ll talk about it before we do anything.
For most long distance moves, you’re looking at anywhere from three days to a week, depending on the distance. A move from East Farmingdale to Florida might take four or five days. A move to Texas might take a week.
Here’s why it’s not instant: we’re not putting your stuff on a plane. It’s going in a truck, and that truck has to follow roads, deal with traffic, and make the trip safely. Some long distance movers use consolidated shipping, which means your stuff shares a truck with other people’s belongings and gets delivered on a longer timeline. We don’t do that. Your move is your move.
We’ll give you a delivery window when we book the job, and we’ll keep you updated as we go. If something changes—weather, road closures, whatever—you’ll know about it. Most people are fine with a few days of lag time as long as they know what to expect. It’s the surprises that make people angry, and we don’t do surprises.
We’re fully insured, which means if something breaks, you’re covered. But the goal is to not break anything in the first place, which is why we pack carefully and secure everything properly in the truck.
Most damage happens because items weren’t packed right or they shifted during transport. We use the right materials and the right techniques to prevent that. Fragile stuff gets wrapped. Heavy stuff gets secured. Boxes get stacked strategically so nothing collapses.
If something does get damaged, you file a claim with our insurance. We’ll walk you through the process, and you’ll get compensated based on the value of the item. It’s not a fight. It’s not a runaround. It’s just paperwork, and we help you with it. That’s what being licensed and insured actually means—you’re protected, and there’s a real process in place if something goes wrong.
Yes. We’ve got secure, climate-controlled storage space for exactly this situation. It happens all the time—your closing gets delayed, your lease doesn’t start when you thought it would, whatever. You need somewhere to put your stuff for a few days or a few weeks.
Our storage isn’t fancy, but it’s clean, safe, and climate-controlled so your stuff doesn’t get ruined by heat or humidity. You pay by the day or week, depending on how long you need it. When you’re ready, we deliver everything to your new place.
This is one of those things that separates a real long distance moving company from someone who just owns a truck. Flexibility matters when you’re coordinating a move across state lines. Things don’t always go according to plan, and you need a moving company that can adapt without making it your problem.
Yes. We’re fully licensed for interstate moves, which is a requirement if you’re moving across state lines. A lot of local moving companies aren’t set up for this. They can move you within New York, but they’re not legally allowed to take your stuff to another state.
Being licensed means we’re registered with the federal government, we carry the right insurance, and we follow the regulations that apply to cross country movers. It also means you have legal protections if something goes wrong. If a company isn’t licensed and they damage your stuff or disappear with it, you don’t have much recourse.
You can verify our licensing if you want. It’s public information. We’re not hiding anything. This is just part of doing the job the right way, and it’s one of the reasons we’ve been in business for over a decade. People trust us because we’re legitimate, and we stay legitimate because we don’t cut corners.
Usually, yes. We keep crews ready for emergency situations because we know that not every move goes according to plan. Maybe your job gave you two weeks’ notice to relocate. Maybe your housing situation changed suddenly. Whatever the reason, we can usually get a crew out the same day or within 24 hours.
Emergency moves cost a little more because we’re rearranging our schedule to fit you in, but we’re not going to gouge you. The price is still fair, and the service is still the same. You’re just paying for the flexibility.
We’ve handled plenty of moves where the timeline changed suddenly. It’s stressful, and the last thing you need is a moving company that can’t adapt. If you call us and you need to move fast, we’ll tell you honestly whether we can do it and what it’ll cost. No games, no runaround. Just a straight answer so you can make a decision and move forward.
