You’re not looking for a moving company that talks a good game. You need one that shows up on time, handles your belongings like they matter, and doesn’t hit you with surprise fees when your stuff is already loaded on the truck.
That’s where most long distance movers fail. They lowball the estimate to win the job, then inflate costs once they’ve got leverage. Or they subcontract to crews who don’t know what they’re doing and don’t care about your timeline.
We’ve been doing this for over 15 years in Sayville and across Long Island. Our crews are ours—not temps, not subcontractors. We give you a real estimate based on actual weight and distance, and that’s what you pay. Your belongings get tracked, protected, and delivered when we say they will. You get updates without having to chase us down. And if something does go wrong, we’re licensed, insured, and we fix it.
This is what a long distance move should feel like: handled by people who know what they’re doing and respect the fact that you’ve got a life to get back to.
All Terrain Moving was started by Scott and Matt—two brothers who watched too many Long Island families get burned by movers who overpromised and underdelivered. We built this company to be the alternative: transparent, reliable, and locally rooted.
We’ve been serving Sayville, Suffolk County, and Nassau County for over 15 years. We’re not a national franchise with rotating crews. Our team knows Long Island’s roads, parking situations, and building regulations because we work here every day.
Sayville families are moving out of state for all kinds of reasons—remote work flexibility, cost of living, family, lifestyle. Whatever your reason, you need a long distance moving company that treats the job like it matters. We’re DOT licensed, fully insured, and bonded. Our reputation is on the line with every move, and we plan to be here long after your boxes are unpacked.
First, you reach out for a free quote. We’ll ask about your timeline, where you’re moving, and what you’re bringing. If it’s a big move, we’ll do a walkthrough—virtual or in-person—so we can give you an accurate estimate based on weight, not guesses.
Once you’re ready to book, we lock in your dates and go over the logistics. You’ll know what day we’re loading, what day we’re delivering, and what’s covered under our cargo insurance. No fine print, no runaround.
On moving day, our crew shows up on time with the right equipment. We wrap, pad, and secure everything properly—furniture, boxes, fragile items. Everything gets loaded systematically so it travels safely and unloads efficiently on the other end.
During transit, you’re not left in the dark. We keep you updated on timing and location. If you need storage between moves, we coordinate that too—one process, not two separate headaches.
When we arrive at your new place, we unload, unwrap, and put things where you want them. You do a walkthrough, make sure everything arrived intact, and that’s it. You’re unpacked and we’re out of your way.
Ready to get started?
You get a full-service long distance move handled by licensed, insured professionals. That means packing services if you want them, or just the heavy lifting if you’d rather pack yourself. We bring the right materials—moving blankets, padding, straps, dollies—and we know how to use them.
We handle specialty items like pianos, safes, and oversized furniture. If it’s fragile or valuable, we take extra care. If it’s awkward or heavy, we’ve moved it before. Our crews are trained to protect your belongings and your property—doorways, floors, walls.
Sayville has seen a surge of residents relocating out of state, especially remote workers and families chasing affordability or space. That means more people are comparing cross country movers and trying to figure out who’s legit. We’re one of the few long distance moving companies on Long Island that’s been doing this long enough to have a real track record. You can check our Google reviews, verify our DOT number, and talk to our team before you commit.
We also coordinate storage if your new place isn’t ready yet. And if your move spans multiple states, we manage the logistics so you don’t have to track down different providers in different time zones. It’s one team, one point of contact, and one bill.
Long distance moving costs are based on the weight of your belongings and the distance you’re traveling. For most interstate moves, you’re looking at anywhere from $2,500 to $11,000+ depending on the size of your home and how far you’re going.
We don’t give lowball estimates to win your business and then inflate the price later. We do a real assessment—either virtual or in-person—so the quote we give you is based on actual weight, not guesses. That’s the number you’ll pay unless you add items or services after the fact.
If you’re moving from Sayville to another state, we’ll also factor in things like stairs, long carries, and any specialty items that need extra care. The goal is to give you a clear, honest number up front so there are no surprises when the truck is loaded.
Start with their DOT number. Every legitimate interstate moving company is required to have one. Ours is DOT# 3706838, MC# 1340650. You can look it up on the FMCSA website and see our safety record, insurance, and complaint history.
Next, check reviews—but not just the star rating. Read what people actually say. Are there patterns of late deliveries, surprise fees, or damaged belongings? If a company has mostly five-star reviews with no substance, that’s a red flag.
Avoid any mover that asks for a large deposit upfront or won’t give you a written estimate. Scammers lowball the price to get you to commit, then hold your stuff hostage until you pay inflated fees. Legitimate movers like us give you a binding or not-to-exceed estimate in writing, and we don’t ask for payment until the job is done. If something feels off during the quote process, trust your gut.
We carry extensive cargo insurance, and we’re fully licensed and bonded. If something gets damaged, we handle it—that’s what insurance is for. But we also take steps to prevent damage in the first place: proper packing materials, trained crews, and systematic loading.
Most damage happens because movers rush the job or don’t secure items correctly. Our team has been doing this for over 15 years. We know how to wrap furniture, stack boxes, and strap everything down so it doesn’t shift during transit.
That said, accidents can happen on a long haul. If they do, you file a claim with us, we assess the damage, and we either repair or compensate you based on the coverage you selected. We offer different levels of moving insurance, and we’ll explain your options before the move so you’re not guessing about what’s covered.
It depends on where you’re going. A move from Sayville to a neighboring state like Pennsylvania or Connecticut might take 1-3 days. A cross country move to California or Texas could take 7-10 days, sometimes longer depending on the route and any stops along the way.
We give you a delivery window when we book the move, and we keep you updated throughout transit. If there are delays—weather, road closures, whatever—we let you know as soon as we know. You’re not left wondering where your stuff is.
One thing to keep in mind: over 50% of long distance moves arrive late, often because companies underestimate drive times or overbook their schedules. We build in realistic timelines and don’t overpromise. If we say your stuff will arrive by a certain date, that’s the date we’re aiming for—and we hit it.
You can absolutely pack yourself if you want to save money and stay in control of the process. A lot of people do, especially on long distance moves. We’ll still bring the truck, load everything, transport it, and unload it on the other end.
If you go that route, just make sure your boxes are sturdy and packed properly. Loose items shift during a long haul, and that’s when things break. We can provide boxes and packing materials if you need them, or you can source your own.
If you’d rather have us handle the packing, we offer full packing services. Our crew will come in, wrap and box everything, label it, and load it. It’s faster, and it’s one less thing you have to manage during an already stressful move. Either way works—we just want to make sure your belongings are protected for the trip.
Yes. We coordinate storage services for clients who need to hold their belongings between moves. It’s a common situation—your lease ends before your new place is ready, or your closing date gets pushed back.
Instead of juggling two separate companies and two separate bills, we handle the whole process. We load your stuff, store it in a secure facility, and deliver it when you’re ready. You get one point of contact and one coordinated timeline.
Storage costs depend on how much space you need and how long you need it, but we’ll give you a clear quote up front. It’s just another way we try to make long distance moving less of a headache—because the last thing you need during a cross country move is more logistics to manage on your own.
