| 3 movers + truck | $190–$260/hr | 2-bedroom homes & small houses |
| 4 movers + truck | $240–$330/hr | 3-bedroom+ homes & heavy loads |

Long-distance moves aren't priced by the hour. Instead, they're priced by the weight or volume of your shipment plus the distance, and quoted as a binding or not-to-exceed estimate so you know your maximum price in writing before we load. As a typical benchmark, a 2-bedroom move from California to the East Coast can run about $4,000–$8,000+, depending on weight, distance, and access.
Your move is handled by Spartan directly — never sold off to a broker or a random carrier you've never spoken to.
Your belongings travel on our own equipment with our own crews, not a rotating cast of subcontractors.
Trucks are GPS-tracked so you always know where your shipment is on a cross-country move.
Your written estimate caps your price. You get a clear maximum before the move begins — no surprises on delivery day.
