Hear from Our Customers
You’re not wondering when your stuff will show up. You’re not living out of a suitcase in a motel because the delivery window is “sometime in the next two weeks.” You’re not opening boxes to find your grandmother’s china shattered because someone rushed the packing.
When your long distance move is handled right, you get a binding estimate that doesn’t balloon at delivery. You get a crew that shows up on time, packs like they’re moving their own belongings, and communicates every step of the way. You know when pickup happens, when your items are in transit, and exactly when they’ll arrive at your new place.
That’s what a professional long distance moving company should deliver. Not theatrical promises or corporate jargon—just competent people doing the job you’re paying them to do. We’ve been handling interstate and cross country moves for Holtsville residents who need their belongings moved safely without the drama or the upcharges.
All Terrain Moving and Junk Removal Inc. serves Holtsville and the broader Long Island area—Suffolk County, Nassau County, and Queens. We’re not a national van line that farms out your move to whoever’s available. We’re a local operation that handles your move directly, from the first phone call to the final box.
Matt owns the company. Scott manages operations and goes out of his way to accommodate scheduling changes and last-minute needs. The crew you meet at pickup is the same team accountable for delivery. That matters when you’re trusting someone with everything you own.
Long Island is seeing heavy outbound migration right now—people moving south, heading upstate, relocating for work. We’ve handled moves from Brooklyn to North Carolina, Manhattan apartments to new builds in other states, and everything in between. You’re not our first long distance customer, and the process doesn’t rattle us.
First, you reach out for a quote. We’ll ask about your inventory, any specialty items like pianos or pool tables, and where you’re headed. You’ll get a binding estimate—not a lowball number that triples when the truck arrives.
Once you’re booked, we schedule your pickup date. Our crew shows up on time, walks through your home, and confirms the plan. If you want full packing services, we handle it. If you’re doing some yourself and need help with fragile items or furniture, we cover that too.
Everything gets loaded carefully. Furniture is wrapped and padded. Boxes are secured. Fragile items get extra attention. We’re not rushing to hit the next job—we’re making sure your stuff survives a long haul.
During transit, you’re not left guessing. We keep you updated on timing and coordinate delivery windows that actually work for your schedule. When we arrive, we unload, place items where you want them, and make sure nothing’s damaged or missing. That’s the process. No mystery, no runaround.

Long distance moving services from All Terrain include the labor, the truck, the fuel, and the insurance. You’re also paying for experience—knowing how to pack a truck so nothing shifts during a 500-mile drive, understanding how to navigate tight staircases in older Long Island homes, and handling the paperwork for interstate moves.
If you need packing services, that’s available. Full packing, partial packing, or fragile-only packing depending on what makes sense for your timeline and budget. We also handle specialty items that most people don’t want to risk moving themselves—pianos, antiques, artwork, gun safes.
Holtsville residents moving out of state often need storage-in-transit if there’s a gap between when you leave your old place and when your new home is ready. We can coordinate that. Same goes for junk removal if you’re downsizing before the move and need to clear out items you’re not taking with you.
The goal is to make this as straightforward as possible. You’re already dealing with address changes, utility transfers, and everything else that comes with relocating. The actual move shouldn’t be the hardest part.
Most interstate moves from New York fall between $1,000 and $4,300 depending on distance and volume. A one-bedroom apartment moving 500 miles will cost significantly less than a four-bedroom house going cross country.
The average long distance move covers about 569 miles. If you’re moving from Holtsville to Florida, North Carolina, or another southern state—which is common right now with Long Island’s outbound migration trends—you’re looking at the higher end of that range.
We give binding estimates, not ballpark figures that change at delivery. You’ll know upfront what you’re paying based on your actual inventory and destination. The price includes labor, truck, fuel, and basic insurance coverage. If you add packing services or need specialty handling for items like a piano, that gets factored in separately so there’s no confusion.
Check for a USDOT number. Every legitimate interstate mover is required to register with the Department of Transportation. If a company can’t provide that number or dodges the question, walk away.
Get a binding estimate in writing. Scam movers lure you in with quotes that sound too good to be true, then demand 50% more when your stuff is on the truck. A real moving company will assess your inventory and give you a firm number that doesn’t change unless you add items or services.
Read recent reviews, not just the star rating. Look for mentions of on-time delivery, transparent pricing, and how the company handled problems. We have verified Google reviews you can read through. We’re also listed among the best movers in Holtsville according to recent Yelp rankings. You’re not taking a gamble on an unknown crew.
It depends on distance and route, but most long distance moves deliver within 3 to 7 days. A move from Holtsville to a neighboring state might take 2 to 3 days. Cross country moves to the West Coast can take up to 10 days depending on logistics.
You won’t be stuck with an “open-ended” delivery date where you’re waiting around for weeks. We give you a delivery window and keep you updated during transit. If something changes, you’ll know before it becomes a problem.
The timeline also depends on whether you need storage-in-transit. If your new place isn’t ready when we pick up your belongings, we can store them and deliver when you’re ready. That’s common for people moving out of state who are closing on a new home and dealing with timing gaps. We coordinate around your schedule, not the other way around.
We’re licensed and insured for interstate moves, which means you have coverage if something goes wrong. Basic liability coverage is included in every move, but you can purchase additional insurance if you’re moving high-value items.
The reality is that long distance moves carry more risk than local ones. Your belongings are traveling hundreds of miles, getting loaded and unloaded, and spending days in transit. That’s why packing matters. We wrap furniture, pad corners, and secure boxes so nothing shifts during the drive.
If damage does occur, you file a claim and we handle it through our insurance. The process is straightforward—document the damage, submit photos, and we work through resolution. Most moves go off without any issues, but when you’re hiring a moving company, you want to know they’ll stand behind their work if something does happen. We do.
Yes. We handle pianos, pool tables, gun safes, antiques, artwork, and other items that require extra care or disassembly. These aren’t things you want to trust to a crew that’s rushing through the job.
Pianos need to be properly wrapped and secured so they don’t shift during transit. Pool tables have to be disassembled, with the slate protected and the felt handled carefully. Heavy safes require equipment and experience to move without damaging your floors or the safe itself.
We’ve moved plenty of specialty items for Holtsville residents, both locally and long distance. We know what we’re doing, and we’re not going to tell you we can handle something if we can’t. If you have items that need special attention, mention them when you request a quote so we can plan accordingly and give you an accurate estimate.
We offer same-day service for local moves, but long distance moves typically require more lead time for scheduling and logistics. Interstate moves involve route planning, truck availability, and coordination with delivery windows on the other end.
That said, if you’re in a bind and need to move quickly, reach out. We’ll tell you honestly whether we can accommodate your timeline. Summer is the busiest season for moves—41% of all moves happen between May and August—so booking in advance is smart if you have flexibility.
If you’re dealing with a last-minute relocation for work or a closing date that moved up unexpectedly, we’ll do what we can to help. Scott, who manages operations, has a reputation for going above and beyond to accommodate scheduling changes. We’re not going to leave you stranded if there’s a way to make it work.
