You’re not just hiring trucks and muscle. You’re getting a moving plan that accounts for the fact that you’re already juggling a dozen other things right now.
Your belongings get packed properly the first time. That means the right materials, the right technique, and someone who knows the difference between wrapping a lamp and securing a 60-inch TV. Everything gets loaded with a system that keeps your stuff stable across hundreds of miles, not just tossed in and hoped for the best.
You know what you’re paying before anything gets loaded. No surprise fees when you cross state lines. No inflated costs because you needed an extra hour. The quote you get is the price you pay, and that’s not something every long distance moving company can say honestly.
Your delivery window is realistic, and we hit it. You’re coordinating leases, closings, and maybe time off work. The last thing you need is a moving company that shows up three days late with excuses about traffic.
All Terrain Moving and Junk Removal Inc. is a family-owned business, and Matt (the owner) is still the person you’ll talk to when you call. That matters when you’re trusting someone with everything you own.
We’ve watched Farmingville’s housing market climb to a median of $596K, up over 35% in the last year alone. A lot of families are making the move to more affordable areas, whether that’s Florida, Pennsylvania, or North Carolina. We’ve done those routes more times than we can count.
Fifteen years in this business means we’ve seen every kind of move. Small apartments to 10,000 square foot homes. Pianos, gun safes, antique furniture. We’ve handled cross country relocations for retirees heading south and young professionals chasing job opportunities in other states. You’re not our first rodeo, and that experience shows up in how smoothly your move goes.
You call or fill out a form, and we schedule a time to assess what you’re moving. This can be virtual or in-person, depending on what works for you. We look at everything: how much stuff, what kind of items, any specialty pieces that need extra care, and where you’re going.
You get a binding estimate based on that assessment. Not a range. Not a “starting at” number. An actual price that covers the full service: packing materials, labor, transportation, and delivery. If something changes on your end, we adjust it before the move, not after.
On moving day, our team shows up on time and gets to work. If you’ve opted for packing services, we handle that first. Everything gets wrapped, boxed, and labeled with a system that makes unpacking easier on the other end. Then we load the truck with your stuff positioned to minimize shifting during transport.
We stay in contact during the drive. You’re not left wondering where your belongings are or when they’ll arrive. Once we get to your new place, we unload, unpack if that’s part of your service, and make sure everything made the trip intact. You do a walkthrough, we handle any concerns right there, and that’s it.

Every long distance move includes full packing services if you want them. That’s not an upsell. We bring the boxes, the tape, the bubble wrap, the furniture pads. Your dishes get packed like they’re supposed to be. Your electronics get protected properly. You don’t have to spend your weekends at Home Depot buying supplies and guessing how to pack a mirror.
Specialty items get handled by people who know what they’re doing. Moving a piano isn’t the same as moving a couch, and we’ve got the equipment and experience to do it without damaging your floors, your doorways, or the instrument itself. Same goes for safes, pool tables, and oversized furniture.
You also get storage options if your timing doesn’t line up perfectly. Maybe your new place isn’t ready yet, or you’re downsizing and need to figure out what’s coming with you. We have secure storage facilities, and your stuff stays protected until you’re ready for delivery.
Here’s what matters for Farmingville residents specifically: 31% of people moving out of this area are heading to places like Miami, Philadelphia, and Boston. We run those routes regularly. We know the timing, the logistics, and the potential issues before they become your problem. You’re moving to a place we’ve been to dozens of times, and that familiarity makes your move smoother.
Long distance moves typically range between $2,940 and $8,400 depending on how much you’re moving and how far you’re going. A one-bedroom apartment heading to Florida costs less than a four-bedroom house going to California. That’s obvious, but the real cost factors are less obvious.
Volume matters more than weight for most moves. If you’re moving a small apartment but you’ve got a ton of books, that’s heavier but takes up less truck space than someone with bulky furniture. Distance affects fuel and labor costs. A move to Pennsylvania is cheaper than a move to Texas.
Packing services, specialty items, and timing also factor in. If you need us to pack everything, that adds labor and materials. If you’re moving a piano or a gun safe, that requires extra equipment and expertise. If you need to move during peak season (May through September), prices are higher across the industry because demand is higher.
We give you a binding estimate after assessing your specific situation. That number doesn’t change unless you add items or services. No hidden fees for stairs, for mileage, for fuel, or for any of the other garbage some companies try to tack on after the fact.
The moving industry has a problem with scam operators, especially for long distance moves. These companies give you a quote that’s 20-50% lower than everyone else, then hold your stuff hostage and demand more money before they’ll unload. It happens more than it should.
Here’s how you avoid it: check for a physical local address, not just a website and a phone number. We’ve been in Farmingville for over 15 years. You can come to our location. Scam companies operate out of call centers and don’t have a real local presence.
Get a binding estimate in writing. If a company won’t commit to a price and keeps saying “it depends” or “we’ll figure it out on moving day,” that’s a red flag. Legitimate movers assess your inventory and give you a real number.
Read reviews, but read them carefully. Look for verified Google reviews from actual customers, not just testimonials on the company’s website. Check how the company responds to negative reviews. We’ve got years of reviews from real customers who’ve used our services for local and long distance moves.
Ask about licensing and insurance. Interstate movers need to be properly licensed. We’re fully licensed and insured, and we can provide that documentation before you book. If a company dodges that question or says “we’re working on it,” walk away.
Damage can happen, and any company that tells you it never does is lying. What matters is how it’s handled when it does. We take care of your belongings like they’re ours, but we’re also realistic about the fact that moving things hundreds of miles comes with some risk.
Everything gets packed and loaded to minimize that risk. Furniture gets wrapped in pads. Fragile items get packed with proper cushioning. Boxes get stacked strategically so nothing shifts during transport. We’ve been doing this long enough to know what causes damage and how to prevent it.
We’re fully insured, and that insurance covers your belongings during the move. If something does get damaged, you document it during the walkthrough at delivery, and we handle the claim. You’re not fighting with us to get compensated. We take responsibility and make it right.
Most damage happens with companies that rush the job or hire inexperienced crews. Our team has been with us for years. They know how to move a couch through a narrow doorway without scraping the walls. They know how to secure a mattress so it doesn’t get torn. Experience matters, and it shows up in how your stuff arrives.
It depends on where you’re going, but here are realistic timelines. A move to Pennsylvania or North Carolina usually takes 2-3 days from pickup to delivery. A move to Florida takes 3-5 days. A cross country move to California or Washington can take 7-10 days.
Those timelines account for drive time, required rest breaks for drivers, and potential delays like weather or traffic. We don’t promise unrealistic delivery windows just to win your business. If we say your stuff will arrive on Thursday, it arrives on Thursday.
Some companies offer “expedited” service where your belongings are the only load on the truck. That’s faster but more expensive because you’re paying for the entire truck. Most long distance moves use consolidated shipping, where your stuff shares truck space with other customers heading in the same direction. That keeps costs down, but it means the truck makes multiple stops.
We give you a delivery window, not a single day, because cross country logistics aren’t that precise. But we stay in contact during the move so you know where things stand. You’re not left guessing whether your stuff is in Pennsylvania or still sitting in a warehouse in New York.
You need to be there at the start and at the end, but not necessarily for the entire time in between. At pickup, you need to be present to do a walkthrough, sign paperwork, and answer any questions about specific items. At delivery, you need to be there to receive your belongings and do a final walkthrough to confirm everything arrived.
During the actual packing and loading, you can be there if you want, but it’s not required. Some people prefer to be hands-on and direct where things go. Others would rather get out of the way and let the crew work. Both are fine.
If you can’t be at the delivery location yourself, you can designate someone else to receive the shipment. That person needs to be over 18 and have the authority to sign off on the delivery. We just need to know in advance so there’s no confusion when we arrive.
For the time between pickup and delivery, you don’t need to do anything. We handle the transportation and keep you updated on timing. You can focus on the other parts of your move: setting up utilities, forwarding mail, and all the other tasks that come with relocating to a new state.
Yes. This comes up more often than you’d think. Maybe your new place isn’t ready yet. Maybe you’re downsizing and need time to figure out what you’re keeping. Maybe you’re moving for a job but your family isn’t coming for another few months. Whatever the reason, we can store your belongings in a secure facility until you need them delivered.
Our storage units are climate-controlled and monitored. Your stuff doesn’t sit in some outdoor container where temperature swings and humidity can cause damage. Everything stays in the same condition it was in when we loaded it.
You pay for storage by the month, and there’s no penalty for keeping things stored longer than you initially planned. Life happens, timelines change, and we’re not going to charge you extra fees because your closing got pushed back or your lease started later than expected.
When you’re ready for delivery, we schedule it just like any other move. Your belongings get loaded back onto a truck and delivered to your new address. You don’t have to coordinate with a separate storage company or move everything twice. We handle it all, start to finish, so you’ve got one less thing to manage during an already complicated process.
