Nationwide Movers with Experience

When choosing a national moving company, you want a team you can trust to protect your belongings and provide budget-friendly services. More than anything, you want an experienced partner that can streamline the moving process.

That’s where we come in with reliable household moving services, professional moving checklists, and more.

 

 

What should every nationwide moving company offer?

Reliable, experienced national movers like Allied should offer services like: 

  • Transparent Quote Processes: The quote process should be straightforward, detailing every charge so there are no surprises later.
  • Professional Packing Services: Ensure your chosen mover offers professional packing services, especially for items that hold sentimental or monetary value.
  • Details on the Fleet: Reliability is key. Knowing about the maintenance, age, and technology of moving trucks can offer peace of mind.
  • Trained Crews: Don’t trust your items with just anyone. Look out for experienced, professional crews who will get your belongings from one place to another.
  • Additional Coverage: Accidents can happen. Ensure the moving company offers comprehensive coverage, especially for high-value items.
  • Storage Services: Sometimes, moves require a temporary storage solution. Allied offers secure short- and long-term options in your current or future destination.
  • Positive Reviews: Always look for positive reviews from previous customers. A positive experience shared by others can be a good indicator of the service quality you can expect.
  • Loyalty Benefits: If you've moved before with the same company, inquire about any benefits or discounts for repeat customers.

  • The size and distance of your move: Larger shipments, specialty items, and longer distances can increase costs.
  • The moving services you request: Comprehensive moving services may cost more than basic support.

Things to do Before Hiring a Nationwide Mover

Getting ready to hire a national moving company? Consider the following questions to help you find the best partner.

  • Are they experienced? A skilled team can streamline the move and reduce the risk of things going awry on moving day.
  • Do they have 5-star reviews? Learn more about other customer experiences to know what to expect.
  • Do they offer the services you need? Check the company’s service and FAQ pages to ensure they provide all desired services.
  • Can they manage your move? Make sure to share as many details as possible with the company to ensure they’re prepared.

Preparing for Your Nationwide Move

Planning for a nationwide move? If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you’re not alone. Fortunately, Allied Van Lines is here to help. Here are four easy steps to make planning and prepping simpler. 

  1. Start planning as soon as possible. While it’s not always possible, try to begin planning your national move three to six months ahead of your anticipated moving date. It may seem needlessly early, but mapping out a timeline and getting a game plan together as soon as possible can help you avoid unnecessary stress and simplify the moving process.
  2. Organize, minimize, and simplify. Consider decluttering your home and donating or disposing of unwanted items. If this seems like an extra step, think again. It can help streamline the packing process and cut down on the number of items to move to your new home.
  3. Pack strategically. Begin by packing non-essential items like kitchen appliances, extra linens, or off-season clothes two or three months before you move. Gradually continue packing until only the essentials remain. And remember: Label each box with its contents and location as you go. You’ll appreciate the extra effort when you begin unloading and unpacking.
  4. Choose a reputable nationwide moving company. While it may be tempting to pick the cheapest option around, opting for a reputable, affordable national moving company like Allied Van Lines can ensure you get the services and care you deserve at a price that works for you.

Hear From Our Customers

  • The driver was outstanding, polite, on time, and did what he said he would do. I would definitely recommend him. There wasn't good communication.

    David R.

  • Allied was easy to work with and was on time. I was contacted all the time. I have already told my friends to use Allied. Mike and the driver was great.

    Carol C.

  • The attentiveness of all those involved and the care that they took with most of our possessions. One guy dropped a night stand on the dolly and if we would have not seen it, we wouldn't have known. The guy that dropped the night stand made a small dent on it that he did not say anything about. Overall they did a great job, but this is one instance.
