Hear from Our Customers
You’re not wondering if the truck will show up. You’re not getting a phone call halfway through loading that the price just doubled. You already know what you’re paying because we told you upfront, and that number doesn’t change when we arrive.
Your belongings get loaded once, transported directly, and unloaded at your new place. No switching trucks. No mystery warehouses. No ransom calls demanding more money before we’ll deliver your couch.
If something breaks, we fix it. We’re licensed and insured in New York, which means there’s actual accountability. And when you call with a question two days before the move, you’re talking to Scott or Matt—the brothers who own this company and whose names are on the truck.
Scott and Matt started All Terrain Moving because we kept watching Long Island families get scammed by moving companies that quoted one price and charged another. We’ve been handling moves across Suffolk County and out of state long enough to know what matters: showing up, doing the work, and not lying about the cost.
We’re not a franchise. When something goes wrong, you’re not calling a 1-800 number in another state. You’re calling the people who actually loaded your truck.
West Sayville families are leaving Long Island in record numbers—over 21,000 people moved out in 2024 alone. Most are heading south or west for lower costs and more space. We’ve moved plenty of them, and we know the timing pressures, the storage gaps when closing dates don’t align, and the stress of coordinating a move across state lines while trying to work and manage a family.
First, we talk. You tell us where you’re moving, how much stuff you have, and when you need to be out. We ask about stairs, elevators, parking restrictions, and whether you’re packing yourself or want us to handle it. Then we give you a price. That’s the price.
If you book, we recommend doing it at least a month out. Long distance moves require coordinating routes across multiple states, and the earlier you book, the better your rate and flexibility. Mid-week and mid-month moves cost less than weekends and end-of-month dates, so if you have flexibility, use it.
On moving day, our crew shows up and loads everything directly onto the truck. If you’re also getting rid of furniture or junk you don’t want to bring, we handle that too—it’s one of the things that sets us apart from most long distance movers. Your stuff goes straight to your new address. One truck, one trip, no transfers.
When we unload, you check everything. If there’s damage, we deal with it. If your new place isn’t ready and you need short-term storage near West Sayville or at your destination, we’ll work that out with you.
Ready to get started?
We handle loading, transport, and unloading. If you want packing services, we do that. If you’d rather pack yourself to save money, that works too. We bring the truck, the equipment, and the crew.
For long distance moves, timing matters. The average American moving company earned $23.1 billion in 2024, but the BBB still received 13,000 complaints that same year. Most of those complaints involve surprise fees, no-shows, or companies holding belongings hostage until you pay more. We’re licensed and insured specifically so that can’t happen to you.
If you’re moving out of West Sayville to another state, you need a company with a DOT number for interstate transport. We have it. We also know Long Island’s roads, parking situations, and building regulations, which matters when we’re loading in tight spaces or dealing with co-op boards and HOA rules.
Storage is available if your move-out and move-in dates don’t line up. It’s common—closings fall through, construction runs late, or your new place isn’t ready when you need to be out of your old one. We’ll store your stuff and deliver it when you’re ready.
It depends on how far you’re going and how much you’re bringing. A one-bedroom apartment moving from West Sayville to Florida costs less than a four-bedroom house moving to California. The average long distance move in New York varies widely, but you’re generally looking at a few thousand dollars minimum for interstate transport.
We give you the real number upfront based on your inventory and distance. That number doesn’t change when the truck shows up. If you want to save money, pack everything yourself and we’ll just handle loading, transport, and unloading. If you’d rather not deal with packing, we’ll do it, but it adds to the cost.
Booking at least a month out usually gets you a better rate. Mid-week and mid-month moves cost less than weekends and end-of-month dates because demand is lower. If you have flexibility, use it.
We deal with this all the time. Closings fall through, construction runs late, or your buyer needs an extra week. If your move-out date is still firm but your new place isn’t ready, we can store your belongings short-term and deliver them when you’re ready.
If you need to change your moving date entirely, call us as soon as you know. The earlier you tell us, the easier it is to adjust. We coordinate routes across multiple states for long distance moves, so last-minute changes are harder to accommodate than local moves, but we’ll work with you.
Storage near West Sayville or at your destination is an option if timing doesn’t line up perfectly. It’s not ideal, but it’s better than being stuck between two addresses with nowhere to put your stuff.
Because we’re licensed and insured in New York, and our reputation is local. The moving scam where companies load your belongings then demand double the price before delivering is real—it cost Americans $32.2 million in 2024. It happens with unlicensed companies or national brokers who subcontract to random crews.
We’re not a broker. We’re the actual moving company. Scott and Matt own this business, and their names are on the truck. When you call, you’re talking to them or our crew, not a call center in another state.
Before you hire any long distance moving company, check their DOT number, read their Google reviews, and make sure they’re actually licensed for interstate transport. If a quote sounds too good to be true, it probably is. The bait-and-switch tactic starts with a low estimate that magically triples on moving day.
Yes. That’s one of the things that makes us different from most long distance movers. We handle junk removal, so if you’re going through your house before the move and realize you don’t want to bring half your furniture to the new place, we’ll take it.
It’s common. You’re paying to transport everything by weight and distance, so why bring stuff you don’t want? We can haul away old furniture, appliances, boxes of junk from the garage, whatever you’re not taking. If it’s still in good shape, we’ll donate it.
Doing this before the move saves you money on transport costs and saves you from dealing with it on the other end. Most people don’t think about junk removal until moving day, but if you know ahead of time what you’re not bringing, tell us and we’ll handle it in one trip.
If we damage something, we fix it. We’re licensed and insured, which means there’s a process for filing claims and getting compensated. The key is hiring a licensed, insured company in the first place—most moving scams involve unlicensed operators who have no accountability.
When we unload at your new place, check everything before we leave. If something’s broken or missing, document it right away. Take photos. Tell us immediately. The sooner you report damage, the easier the claim process.
We’re careful. We’ve been doing this long enough to know how to pack a truck so things don’t shift during a 1,000-mile drive. But accidents happen, and when they do, we don’t disappear. We’re a local Long Island company, and our reputation depends on making things right.
At least a month, ideally longer if you’re moving during summer. Long distance moving companies coordinate routes across multiple states, and the earlier you book, the more flexibility we have to give you a better rate and your preferred dates.
Summer is the most expensive time to move, even though more than half of all moves actually happen between September and April. If you can move mid-week or mid-month instead of on a weekend or at the end of the month, you’ll save money. Demand is lower, so rates are better.
If you have an emergency and need to move last-minute, call us anyway. We’ve handled same-day moves when someone’s closing fell through or they had a family emergency. It’s not ideal, but it’s doable. Just know that last-minute moves cost more and limit your options.
