You’re not just moving boxes across state lines. You’re relocating your life, and that comes with enough stress without worrying whether your movers will actually show up or if your grandmother’s dresser will arrive in pieces.
When you work with a licensed long distance moving company, your belongings are protected from the moment they’re loaded until they’re unloaded at your new place. You get a clear timeline, transparent pricing from the start, and people who understand that every item matters.
Long distance moves average around $4,300 to $5,000 depending on distance and volume. That’s a real investment. What you should expect in return is professionalism, proper equipment, and movers who treat your furniture like it’s their own. No surprises. No runarounds. Just your stuff, handled right, delivered when promised.
All Terrain Moving and Junk Removal Inc. is run by two brothers, Scott and Matt, who’ve built our reputation in Ridge and across Long Island by doing what other movers don’t: showing up on time, answering the phone, and treating customers like family.
We’re fully licensed (DOT# 3706838, MC# 1340650), bonded, and insured for interstate moves. That’s not just paperwork—it’s your protection if something goes wrong. We’ve moved families from Ridge to Florida, college students to North Carolina, and retirees heading south, and we’ve done it without the drama you hear about from national chains.
Ridge families are increasingly moving out of state for affordability or to be closer to family. We get it. And we’re here to make that transition as smooth as possible, whether you’re moving a studio apartment or a full house.
First, you reach out for a free estimate. We’ll ask about your timeline, what you’re moving, and where you’re headed. No pressure, no upselling—just a clear breakdown of what it’ll cost.
Once you’re ready to book, we lock in your moving date and walk you through what to expect. If you need packing help, we handle that too. If you’ve got specialty items like pianos or safes, we plan for those specifically.
On moving day, our crew shows up on time with the right equipment. Everything gets wrapped, loaded carefully, and secured for the trip. You’re not left guessing—we stay in touch throughout the move so you know when to expect delivery.
When we arrive at your new place, we unload, help you get set up, and make sure everything’s where it needs to be. If something doesn’t look right, we address it before we leave. That’s the difference between a cross country moving company that cares and one that’s just checking boxes.
Ready to get started?
Long distance moving services should cover more than just loading a truck. You need packing materials, proper wrapping for furniture, equipment to handle heavy or fragile items, and people who know how to load a truck so nothing shifts during a 12-hour drive.
We bring all of that. Packing services if you want them. Specialty handling for pianos, antiques, and awkward furniture. Storage options if your new place isn’t ready yet. And full insurance coverage so you’re protected if the unexpected happens.
Ridge residents moving out of state often ask about timing. Most long distance movers take up to 14 days for delivery, but we work to get your belongings there faster—usually within a week depending on distance. You’ll get a delivery window upfront, not a vague “sometime next week.”
We also accept credit cards, provide same-day emergency service when possible, and never surprise you with cash-only demands the day before delivery. That kind of thing happens with less reputable interstate moving companies, and it’s exactly the experience we’re here to prevent.
Long distance moves from Ridge typically run between $4,300 and $5,000, but your actual cost depends on how much you’re moving, how far you’re going, and what services you need. A one-bedroom apartment heading to North Carolina will cost less than a four-bedroom house going to Texas.
We give you a detailed estimate upfront based on your inventory and destination. No hidden fees for stairs, heavy items, or “extra” labor that should’ve been included from the start. If your move requires packing services or specialty handling for items like pool tables, we factor that in before you book.
The key is getting an accurate inventory. The more detail you provide, the more accurate your quote will be. That protects you from price jumps on moving day and helps us bring the right crew and equipment.
Check for a DOT number first. Any company moving your stuff across state lines is required by federal law to have one. Ours is DOT# 3706838. You can look it up on the FMCSA website to verify we’re licensed and check our safety record.
Next, make sure they’re insured. Legitimate movers carry cargo insurance that protects your belongings during transit. If a company can’t provide proof of insurance, walk away. You’re taking a huge risk with your property.
Finally, read reviews and see how they handle problems. Do they answer the phone? Do they show up on time? Do customers report damaged items or price increases? A 4.9 rating like ours isn’t just a number—it reflects years of treating people right and handling moves professionally.
We carry full cargo insurance specifically for long distance moves, which means your items are covered if something breaks or gets lost in transit. Before we load anything, we do a walkthrough and document the condition of your furniture and boxes.
If damage occurs, you file a claim with us directly. We review it, assess what happened, and work toward a resolution—whether that’s repair, replacement, or compensation. Most damage happens with companies that rush the job or don’t pack properly, which is why we take our time and use the right materials.
That said, the best protection is prevention. We wrap furniture, pad corners, and secure everything so it doesn’t shift during the drive. Specialty items get extra attention. Our goal is for you to unpack in your new home and find everything exactly as it was when we loaded it.
Most long distance moves take between 3 and 7 days depending on where you’re headed. A move to Pennsylvania or Virginia will be faster than a move to Arizona or Oregon. We give you a delivery window when you book so you can plan accordingly.
Some national moving companies take up to 14 days because they’re consolidating loads or making multiple stops. We don’t operate that way. Your stuff goes on our truck, and we drive it to your new home without unnecessary delays.
If timing is tight—maybe you need to be out of your Ridge home by a certain date or into your new place before work starts—let us know upfront. We’ll do everything we can to accommodate your schedule, including offering same-day or next-day service if we have availability.
Yes. We move pianos, pool tables, safes, antiques, and other specialty items regularly. These require different equipment and techniques than standard furniture, and we come prepared with the right tools and experience to handle them safely.
Pianos, for example, need to be wrapped, strapped, and positioned carefully in the truck so they don’t shift. Antiques need extra padding and climate considerations depending on the distance. Heavy safes require dollies and sometimes additional crew members.
When you’re getting your estimate, mention any specialty items so we can plan for them. That ensures we bring the right equipment and allocate enough time. The last thing you want is a crew showing up unprepared and improvising with your grandmother’s heirloom dresser or your baby grand piano.
Yes. Packing is one of the most time-consuming and stressful parts of moving, especially when you’re relocating across state lines and need everything packed securely for a long trip. We offer full packing services where our crew handles everything from wrapping dishes to boxing up closets.
We bring all the materials—boxes, tape, bubble wrap, packing paper—and we know how to pack so items don’t shift or break during transit. Fragile items get extra care. Heavy items get reinforced boxes. Everything gets labeled so you know what’s in each box when you’re unpacking.
If you’d rather pack yourself, that’s fine too. Just make sure boxes are sturdy and properly sealed. We’ve seen too many moves where boxes fall apart halfway through loading because they weren’t packed for a long distance trip. If you’re unsure, let us handle it. It saves you time and gives you peace of mind.
