LONG DISTANCE MOVING

California & Cross-Country Long Distance Movers

Interstate moves from San Francisco backed by DOT registration, binding estimates, dedicated coordinators, and guaranteed delivery windows.

How Spartan Handles Your Long Distance Move

Every long-distance move assigned to Spartan begins with a binding estimate—not an approximation. Your dedicated coordinator conducts a detailed video or in-home survey, documents every item, and locks your price before we load a single box. Our DOT-registered fleet uses air-ride suspension trailers and satellite tracking so you know exactly where your shipment is at every mile. We don't broker your load to third parties—your belongings stay on our trucks, handled by our crews, from pickup to delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is long distance moving priced?

+

Long distance moves are priced based on weight or volume and distance traveled. We provide binding estimates after a detailed video or in-home survey, so your price is locked before move day. The quote you receive is the maximum you'll pay—no surprises.

How long does delivery take?

+

West Coast routes (CA, OR, WA): 3-7 business days. Mountain/Central routes (CO, UT, TX): 7-10 days. East Coast routes (NY, MA, FL): 10-14 days. All deliveries include a guaranteed delivery window so you can plan accordingly.

Will my stuff be transferred to another truck?

+

No. Your belongings stay on our truck from pickup to delivery. We never broker loads or transfer shipments to other carriers. This means your items are handled by Spartan crews only, ensuring consistency and care throughout the entire journey.

What's a binding estimate?

+

A binding estimate is a guaranteed maximum price. Even if your shipment weighs more than estimated, you pay only the quoted amount. This protects you from surprise charges at delivery. We provide binding estimates based on a thorough inventory assessment.

Can I track my shipment?

+

Yes. Every truck has satellite GPS tracking. Your dedicated coordinator provides real-time updates and an estimated delivery window. You'll know where your belongings are at every mile of the journey.

What about storage during a long distance move?

+

We offer climate-controlled warehouse storage if your new home isn't ready for delivery. See our storage services page for rates and availability. This is ideal for moves where your home closing is delayed or you need time to prepare the space.
