You’re not just moving boxes across state lines. You’re relocating your life, and that comes with enough stress without wondering if your movers are going to show up or double the price halfway through.
When you hire a long distance moving company, you need to know your furniture arrives intact, your timeline holds, and nobody’s playing games with your quote. That’s where most companies lose you—vague pricing, surprise fees, or crews that treat your belongings like they’re expendable.
Here’s what happens when the move actually goes right: You get a flat, transparent quote based on weight and distance. Your crew shows up on time with the right equipment. Everything gets wrapped, loaded, and transported like it matters. And when it arrives at your new place—whether that’s Delaware, Florida, or across the country—it’s in the same condition it left.
You’re not paying for theatrical customer service or a moving company that “prides itself” on anything. You’re paying for people who’ve done this thousands of times and know how to handle cross country moves without the drama.
All Terrain Moving and Junk Removal Inc. is a family-owned operation based right here on Long Island. Matt, the owner, runs the business with the kind of attention you’d expect from someone who actually answers the phone and shows up when things get complicated.
We’re licensed, insured, and bonded—not because it sounds good on a website, but because long distance moving comes with real risk and you deserve real protection. Our crews have over a decade of experience moving everything from studio apartments to 10,000-square-foot homes, and we’ve handled enough pianos, pool tables, and safes to know what actually breaks them and what keeps them intact.
Holbrook sits in a part of Long Island where people have deep roots and real assets. The median household income here is nearly $140,000, and most homes were built in the ’70s—which means you’re not moving particle board furniture. You’re moving heavy, valuable stuff that took years to collect, and it needs to be treated that way.
We also know the local landscape. Whether you’re heading out of Suffolk County to avoid New York’s cost of living or moving closer to family in another state, we understand why people leave and what matters most when they do.
First, you reach out for a quote. We’ll ask about the size of your home, what you’re moving, and where it’s going. Long distance moves are priced by weight and mileage, not hourly rates, so we need accurate details to give you an accurate number. No bait-and-switch pricing, no “estimates” that double on moving day.
Once you’re booked, we’ll schedule a date that works for your timeline. If you need packing services, we handle that too—everything gets wrapped and protected before it touches the truck. On moving day, the crew shows up with the right equipment, loads everything carefully, and starts the route to your new location.
During transport, your belongings are secured and monitored. Long distance moves take longer than local ones—obviously—but we account for traffic, weather, and logistics so you’re not left guessing when your stuff will arrive. If something changes, you’ll know.
When we get to your new place, we unload, reassemble what needs it, and make sure everything’s where you want it. You’re not dealing with a crew that dumps boxes in the garage and disappears. We finish the job.
And if you’ve got junk you don’t want to bring with you—old furniture, appliances, boxes of stuff that didn’t make the cut—we handle that too. One company, one trip, no coordination headaches.
Ready to get started?
You get a full-service crew that handles loading, transport, and unloading. That includes furniture disassembly and reassembly, protective wrapping for anything fragile or valuable, and the right equipment to move heavy or awkward items without damaging your home or the truck.
We also cover specialty items—pianos, pool tables, safes, antiques—things that most movers either refuse or charge extra for without telling you upfront. If it fits in the truck and you need it moved, we’ll move it.
For long distance relocations out of Holbrook, we’re seeing more people head to states like Florida, Delaware, and the Carolinas. That tracks with the broader trend: 26% of people leaving New York are doing it for family reasons, and another 8% are trying to escape the cost of living. The average Long Island household is spending more on housing than most of the country, and it’s pushing people out.
If you’re one of them, you’re not alone. And you’re not the first person we’ve helped make that move. We know the routes, the timing, and the logistics that make interstate moving companies worth hiring instead of trying to DIY it with a rental truck and a prayer.
We’re also available for last-minute moves. Other companies cancel, trucks break down, plans fall apart—we’ve been the backup call enough times to keep flexibility in the schedule. If you’re in a bind, we’ll do what we can to fit you in.
Long distance moving costs are based on two main factors: the weight of your belongings and the distance to your new location. The average move in New York runs around $2,845, but that number shifts depending on how much you’re moving and where it’s going.
A studio apartment heading to Florida will cost significantly less than a four-bedroom house moving to California. We calculate pricing after understanding what you’re moving, how much packing and labor is involved, and the mileage between Point A and Point B.
What matters more than the average is getting a transparent, binding quote upfront. A lot of companies will lowball the estimate to win your business, then hit you with surprise fees on moving day—extra charges for stairs, for packing materials, for fuel, for literally anything they can think of. That’s not how we work. You get a clear number before we start, and that’s the number you pay.
This is a legitimate concern. The moving industry has enough bad actors that people are right to be skeptical, especially for long distance moves where your belongings are out of your sight for days.
Here’s what to look for: A licensed, insured, and bonded company with a physical address and a real phone number. If they’re only reachable by email or text, that’s a red flag. If they ask for a massive deposit upfront or only accept cash, walk away.
Check reviews, but not just the star rating—read what people actually say. Are they talking about transparent pricing? Did the crew show up on time? Did anything get damaged, and if so, how did the company handle it? We’ve been doing this long enough that our reputation is public and verifiable.
Also, get everything in writing. A real moving company will give you a written estimate, a clear contract, and documentation of their insurance coverage. If someone’s dodging paperwork or pressuring you to book without details, that’s not a company you want touching your stuff.
Life happens. Closing dates get pushed, leases fall through, plans change—we get it. If you need to reschedule, just let us know as soon as possible so we can adjust the schedule and keep your spot.
We’re not going to penalize you for needing flexibility, but the earlier you tell us, the easier it is to accommodate. Last-minute changes can get tricky depending on how booked we are, but we’ll work with you to find a solution that doesn’t leave you scrambling.
We’ve also been the company people call when their original movers cancel on them at the last minute. It happens more than it should, and we keep some flexibility in the schedule specifically for those situations. If you’re stuck and need someone reliable to step in, reach out—we’ll see what we can do.
Yes. If you want us to handle packing, we’ll bring the materials and pack everything securely before it goes on the truck. That includes wrapping furniture, boxing up fragile items, and making sure nothing shifts or breaks during transport.
Some people prefer to pack themselves to save money—that’s fine. Just know that if something breaks because it wasn’t packed correctly, that’s on you, not us. If we pack it and something breaks, we’re responsible.
Packing for a long distance move is different than packing for a local one. Your stuff is going to be in the truck for hours or even days, going over highways, through weather, across state lines. It needs to be secured properly, not just tossed in a box with some newspaper. We’ve seen what happens when people underestimate that, and it’s not pretty.
If you’re on the fence, at least let us pack the valuable or fragile stuff—dishes, glassware, electronics, artwork. That’s where most damage happens, and it’s worth the extra cost to know it’s done right.
It depends on the distance and the route. A move from Holbrook to Delaware might take a day or two. A move to Florida could take three to five days. Cross country to California or the Pacific Northwest could take a week or more.
We’re not just driving straight through. There are load times, unload times, rest stops, traffic, and weather to account for. If we’re combining loads or making multiple stops, that adds time too. But we’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront so you’re not left guessing when your stuff will show up.
One thing to keep in mind: faster isn’t always better. Some companies will rush the job to move on to the next one, and that’s when things get damaged or lost. We’d rather take the time to do it right than shave off a day and have you deal with broken furniture on the other end.
If you have a hard deadline—like a lease start date or a closing—we’ll do everything we can to meet it. Just let us know upfront so we can plan accordingly.
Yes. We’ve moved pianos, pool tables, safes, antiques, and plenty of other items that require extra care and equipment. These aren’t things you can just toss on a dolly and hope for the best—they need to be disassembled, wrapped, secured, and reassembled correctly.
Pianos are especially tricky. They’re heavy, awkward, and sensitive to temperature and movement. A bad move can throw them out of tune or cause structural damage. We’ve done enough of them to know how to handle the weight distribution and protect the internal components during transport.
Pool tables have to be disassembled carefully—the slate alone can weigh hundreds of pounds, and if it cracks, the whole table is ruined. We take it apart, move it in pieces, and put it back together at your new place.
Safes are just heavy. Really, really heavy. But we’ve got the equipment and the experience to move them without tearing up your floors or doorways. If you’ve got something large, valuable, or complicated, just tell us about it upfront so we can plan for it. We’re not going to show up unprepared and figure it out on the spot.
