Hear from Our Customers
You get a binding quote that doesn’t change when the truck shows up. Your furniture gets wrapped like it matters, not like it’s cargo. And when your belongings hit the road for another state, you know exactly when they’ll arrive—not a vague window that keeps you guessing for a week.
Long distance moves fail when companies skip the details. Items get damaged because they weren’t packed for 800 miles of highway. Delivery dates slip because the crew was double-booked. Costs balloon because the estimate didn’t include stairs, or packing materials, or the elevator permit your building requires.
We handle interstate moving the way it should work from the start. You tell us where you’re going and what you’re taking. We give you a real number based on distance, volume, and what your move actually requires. Then we show up on time, pack it right, and deliver it when we said we would.
All Terrain Moving is a family-owned company based on Long Island, run by brothers Matt and Scott Young. We’ve been moving families out of Setauket, across Suffolk County, and to every corner of the country for years. Licensed, insured, and registered with the USDOT for interstate transport.
Setauket families moving long distance need more than muscle. They need movers who understand that a $170,000 median household here means you’re not moving particle board furniture. You’ve got heirlooms, investments, and items that took years to collect. We treat them that way.
We also know the local challenges. Co-op boards. Narrow driveways. Timing a move around school schedules. When you’re relocating from one of Long Island’s most established communities, the details matter as much as the distance.
First, we walk through your home or do a virtual survey to see what’s moving. This isn’t a guess—we measure volume, note specialty items like pianos or antiques, and factor in things like flights of stairs or tight doorways. Then we give you a binding quote based on the real scope of your move.
Once you’re booked, we coordinate your pickup and delivery windows. Long distance moves don’t happen same-day. If you’re heading to Florida, expect 5 to 10 days in transit. North Carolina or Tennessee, closer to 4 to 6 days. We’ll give you the realistic timeline upfront so you can plan accordingly.
On moving day, our crew arrives with the right materials and equipment. We disassemble what needs to come apart, wrap furniture in protective padding, and load everything with cross-country transport in mind. Your items are traveling hundreds of miles—they need to be packed like it.
Once we’re on the road, you’ll have contact info and a delivery estimate. When we arrive at your new place, we unload, reassemble, and make sure everything that left Setauket shows up in the same condition.

Every long distance move with All Terrain includes a licensed, insured crew and a truck that’s properly registered for interstate transport. We’re not a broker—we’re the ones actually moving your belongings. That means one team, one truck, and one point of contact from start to finish.
We also offer full packing services if you’d rather not spend weeks wrapping dishes and boxing up your home. Our team brings the materials, handles the fragile items, and makes sure everything is road-ready. If you’ve got specialty items—pool tables, safes, artwork, or antiques—we’ve moved them before and know how to protect them in transit.
Setauket to Florida is one of the most common routes we run. With New York leading the country in outbound migration at 58%, and Florida pulling in retirees and families looking for lower costs and better weather, we’ve made that trip more times than we can count. We also move families to North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and South Carolina regularly. If you’re joining the thousands of New Yorkers relocating for affordability or lifestyle, you’re in good company.
Storage is available if your new place isn’t ready when your old lease ends. And if you’re downsizing during the move, we handle junk removal too—so you’re not paying to transport things you don’t want anymore.
Most long distance moves from Setauket fall between $4,000 and $10,000, depending on how much you’re moving and how far you’re going. A one-bedroom apartment heading to North Carolina will cost significantly less than a four-bedroom home going to California. Distance and volume are the two biggest factors.
We calculate your quote based on the cubic feet your belongings take up in the truck, the mileage between your current home and your destination, and any additional services like packing or specialty item handling. If you need us to disassemble a pool table, navigate a walk-up building, or store your items for two weeks while you close on your new house, that gets factored in too.
The quote we give you is binding. That means the number doesn’t change unless the scope of your move changes. If you add three rooms of furniture the day before we load the truck, yes, the price goes up. But if everything matches what we discussed during the estimate, you pay what we quoted. No surprise fees for stairs, mileage, or fuel.
Your belongings won’t arrive the same day we pick them up. Long distance moving doesn’t work that way. For moves within the region—say, Setauket to Pennsylvania or Virginia—expect 2 to 4 days in transit. If you’re moving to Florida, plan on 5 to 10 days. Cross-country moves to the West Coast can take up to two weeks.
The timeline depends on the route, the distance, and how quickly we can coordinate delivery at your new location. We’re not going to rush your items onto a truck with three other families’ belongings just to hit an unrealistic deadline. Your move gets the time it needs to be done right.
We’ll give you a pickup date and a delivery window when you book. If anything changes, we’ll let you know. Most delays happen on the customer side—closing dates that shift, buildings that require advance notice for freight elevators, or new homes that aren’t ready for move-in. As long as your end is set, we’ll hit our window.
Yes. We’re fully licensed and insured for interstate moving, and we’re registered with the USDOT. Any company moving your belongings across state lines is required by federal law to have a USDOT number. If a moving company can’t provide that, don’t hire them.
You can verify our registration at protectyourmove.gov before you book. It’s a free tool run by the FMCSA that lets you check a mover’s license status, insurance, and complaint history. We’ll give you our USDOT number upfront—no runaround, no excuses.
Interstate moving comes with specific regulations around estimates, contracts, and delivery timelines. We follow them. That means you’ll get a written estimate before we move anything, a Bill of Lading that outlines what’s being transported, and clear documentation of your delivery window. It’s not just good practice—it’s the law, and we take it seriously.
You can pack yourself if you want to save money, or we can handle it for you. Most people moving long distance choose our packing services because the risk of damage goes up significantly when items are traveling hundreds of miles. A box that’s fine for a local move might not survive a trip from New York to Texas.
If you pack yourself, use sturdy boxes, wrap fragile items individually, and don’t overload containers. Books, dishes, and glassware are heavier than you think. A box that’s too heavy will break open in transit, and a box that’s too light will get crushed under the weight of everything else.
If we’re packing for you, we bring the materials and handle everything from your kitchen to your garage. We’ll disassemble furniture that needs to come apart, wrap it in protective padding, and load it with long-haul transport in mind. Fragile items get extra attention. We’ve moved pianos, antiques, and artwork across the country without a scratch—it’s about using the right materials and knowing how to load a truck properly.
We carry insurance, and we’re careful. But if something does get damaged, you need to report it as soon as you notice it—ideally during delivery while our crew is still there. Take photos, document what happened, and let us know immediately. The faster you report it, the faster we can address it.
All interstate movers are required to offer basic liability coverage, which covers 60 cents per pound per item. That’s not much. If your 50-pound flat-screen TV gets damaged, you’re looking at $30 in coverage. Most people opt for additional insurance, which you can purchase through us or through a third-party provider.
We do everything we can to prevent damage in the first place. That means proper packing, secure loading, and experienced handling. But long distance moves involve more risk than local ones simply because your items are on the road longer and get handled more. If you’ve got high-value items—artwork, heirlooms, expensive furniture—talk to us about coverage options before the move, not after.
Yes. If your new place isn’t ready when we need to pick up your belongings, we offer storage. This happens more often than you’d think—closings get delayed, leases don’t line up, or renovation timelines slip. We’ll load your items, store them in a secure facility, and deliver them when you’re ready.
Storage gets billed separately, usually by the month or partial month. The cost depends on how much space your belongings take up and how long you need us to hold them. We’ll walk you through the pricing when we put together your quote.
One thing to keep in mind: if you’re storing items during a long distance move, it adds time to your overall timeline. We can’t deliver on a Tuesday if you don’t tell us you’re ready until Monday afternoon. Plan for a few days of lead time once your new place is good to go, and we’ll coordinate delivery from there.
