You’re not paying for a truck and some muscle. You’re paying to not worry about whether your grandmother’s china makes it to Florida in one piece. You’re paying so you don’t have to take three days off work to coordinate a move that should’ve taken one.
When you work with a long distance moving company that knows what they’re doing, your belongings get packed properly the first time. Fragile items get wrapped in more than an old blanket. Heavy furniture gets disassembled, moved, and reassembled without scratching your floors or doorframes.
You get a price upfront that doesn’t magically double when the truck shows up. You get a crew that treats your stuff like it matters because they’ve been doing this long enough to know their reputation depends on it. And you get to focus on everything else that comes with relocating instead of babysitting a move that should run itself.
All Terrain Moving and Junk Removal Inc. is a family-owned business that’s been handling moves in and out of Springs, NY since before long distance moving became something you booked on an app. Matt and his team know the area, know the routes, and know what it takes to get your belongings from Long Island to wherever you’re headed without the drama.
Springs has changed a lot over the years. What used to be a quiet fishing community now attracts artists, retirees, and families looking for space away from the city grind. That means more people moving in and more people moving out, often to places like Florida, the Carolinas, or back to the city when life shifts again.
We handle all of it. Small apartments, large homes, specialty items like pianos and pool tables. Licensed, insured, and available when you need us, including same-day service if your timeline just got moved up and you’re scrambling.
First, you reach out and tell us where you’re going, what you’re moving, and when you need it done. We give you an upfront price based on mileage, volume, and any specialty items that need extra care. No hidden fees for stairs, long carries, or “fuel surcharges” that magically appear on moving day.
Once you’re booked, we schedule a day that works for you. Our crew shows up on time, walks through everything with you, and starts packing and loading. If you’ve already packed, great. If not, we handle it. Everything gets wrapped, padded, and secured so it doesn’t shift during transport.
Your belongings get loaded onto our truck and head to your new place. You get updates along the way so you’re not left wondering where everything is. When we arrive, we unload, place everything where you want it, and reassemble what we took apart. You do a walkthrough, make sure everything looks good, and that’s it. No surprises, no runaround, no wondering if you should’ve hired someone else.

Every long distance moving service we handle includes professional packing or pack assistance if you want to do some of it yourself. We bring the materials: boxes, tape, padding, shrink wrap, whatever it takes to keep your stuff protected for a trip that might be hundreds or thousands of miles.
Specialty items get handled with the right equipment. Pianos don’t get tossed in the back of a truck. Pool tables get disassembled and reassembled properly. Safes, antiques, artwork—anything that requires more than standard moving techniques gets the attention it needs.
You also get transparent pricing. Long distance moves are priced by mileage and volume, not by the hour. That means you know what you’re paying before we start, and that number doesn’t change unless you add something we didn’t account for in the original quote.
Springs is seeing more people relocate to lower-cost states as housing prices and taxes push families and retirees south. If you’re part of that trend, you’re not alone. Nearly 121,000 people left New York last year through domestic migration, most heading to places like Florida, North Carolina, and Texas. That’s a lot of moves, and a lot of chances for things to go wrong if you pick the wrong company. We’ve handled enough interstate relocations to know what works and what doesn’t, and we build that into every job.
Long distance moving costs depend on how far you’re going and how much you’re moving. Most interstate moving companies price by mileage and volume, not by the hour like local moves. For a typical two-bedroom home moving from Springs to a state like Florida or North Carolina, you’re usually looking at somewhere between $3,000 and $6,000, but that can go up or down depending on the specifics.
What drives the price up? Specialty items like pianos, pool tables, or safes. Long carries from your door to the truck. Flights of stairs. Packing services if you’re not doing it yourself. The key is getting an accurate quote upfront so you’re not surprised when the bill comes.
We give you a clear breakdown before you commit. You tell us what you’re moving, where it’s going, and what kind of timeline you’re working with. We give you a number that includes everything we talked about. If something changes on your end, we adjust. But you won’t get hit with random fees on moving day because we “forgot” to mention them earlier.
It depends on where you’re going. A move from Springs, NY to Florida might take three to five days from pickup to delivery. A move to a neighboring state like Pennsylvania or Maryland could be done in one or two days. Cross country moves to places like California or Texas can take a week or more, depending on the route and any stops along the way.
The timeline also depends on whether you’re doing a dedicated truck or a consolidated move. Dedicated means your stuff is the only load on the truck, so it goes straight from point A to point B. Consolidated means your belongings share space with other customers’ loads, which can save money but adds time since the truck makes multiple stops.
We give you an estimated delivery window when you book, and we stay in touch throughout the move so you know where things stand. If you need your belongings by a specific date, let us know upfront. We’ll tell you if it’s doable or if you need to adjust your expectations. Most people appreciate honesty over optimism that doesn’t pan out.
Yes, or you need someone you trust to be there on your behalf. When we deliver, we need someone to walk through the unloading process, tell us where furniture goes, and sign off that everything arrived in good condition. If you can’t be there yourself, you can designate a friend, family member, or even a property manager to handle it.
What happens if no one’s there? We can’t just leave your belongings on the curb or in the driveway. Most moving companies will either reschedule delivery (which can delay everything and cost you more) or put your stuff in storage until you’re available, which also costs extra.
The easiest move is one where you’re present at both ends. You see everything get loaded, you see everything get unloaded, and you can address any issues in real time. If your schedule doesn’t allow that, just make sure whoever you designate knows what’s being delivered and has the authority to make decisions if something comes up. It saves everyone time and headaches.
Start earlier than you think you need to. Long distance moves require more planning than local ones, especially during peak season (late spring through early fall) when demand is highest. Book your movers at least four to six weeks out if you can. Last-minute moves are possible, but your options shrink and prices go up.
Declutter before you pack. Moving stuff you don’t need across state lines is expensive and pointless. Go through your belongings and get rid of anything you haven’t used in a year. Donate it, sell it, or toss it. The less you move, the less you pay.
If you’re packing yourself, use quality materials and pack heavier items in smaller boxes. A box full of books that weighs 80 pounds is a nightmare to carry and more likely to break open in transit. Label everything clearly with what’s inside and what room it goes in at the new place. It makes unloading faster and keeps you from digging through 40 boxes to find your coffee maker on day one. And take photos of valuable items before they get packed, just in case you need documentation later.
Yes, legitimate long distance movers are licensed and insured, and it matters more than most people realize. If a moving company is handling interstate moves, they need a USDOT number issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. That number means they’ve met federal requirements for safety, insurance, and financial responsibility. If a company can’t or won’t provide their USDOT number, that’s a red flag.
Insurance protects you if something goes wrong. Basic coverage is usually included (around 60 cents per pound per item), but that’s not much if your flat-screen TV gets damaged. You can purchase additional coverage for higher-value items, and it’s worth considering if you’re moving expensive furniture, electronics, or antiques.
Licensing and insurance also mean the company is accountable. If an unlicensed mover damages your stuff or disappears with your belongings (yes, it happens), you have almost no recourse. A licensed company has to follow regulations and can be held accountable if they don’t. We’re fully licensed and insured. We’ll give you our USDOT number, proof of insurance, and anything else you need to feel confident before you book.
Most professional long distance moving companies offer some form of tracking or regular updates, though the level of detail varies. Some use GPS tracking systems that let you see where the truck is in real time. Others provide updates at key points during the trip (when the truck leaves, when it crosses state lines, when it’s a day out from delivery).
Real-time tracking gives you peace of mind, especially if you’re moving valuable or sentimental items across the country. You’re not left wondering where your stuff is or whether the truck broke down somewhere in Virginia. You can check your phone and see exactly where things stand.
We keep you updated throughout your move. You’ll know when your belongings are loaded, when they’re in transit, and when to expect delivery. If anything changes (weather delays, route adjustments, earlier arrival), we let you know as soon as we know. The worst part of most long distance moves is the uncertainty. We do what we can to take that off the table so you can focus on everything else that comes with relocating your life to a new state.
