Long-Distance Moving FAQs

A long-distance move typically involves relocating more than 50 miles from your current location or crossing state lines. Top Dawg Movers handles moves across Florida (intrastate) and to other states (interstate), whether you're moving hundreds or thousands of miles. Unlike local moves, long-distance relocations require federal licensing and specialized planning due to extended transport times and interstate regulations.
Yes, Top Dawg Movers is fully licensed and registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and holds a valid USDOT number for interstate transportation. We comply with all federal regulations for long-distance moving and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage. You can verify our credentials through the FMCSA database for your peace of mind.
Yes, Top Dawg Movers handles both intrastate moves (within Florida) and interstate moves (to other states). Whether you're relocating across Florida or moving to a different state entirely, we have the proper licensing, equipment, and expertise to manage your long-distance relocation safely and efficiently with full regulatory compliance.
Long-distance moving costs are calculated based on several factors including the total weight of your belongings, distance traveled, additional services requested, and time of year. Unlike local moves that charge hourly rates, long-distance moves are typically priced by weight and mileage. We provide detailed, written estimates after conducting an in-home assessment to ensure accurate pricing with no surprises.
A binding estimate guarantees the total cost of your long-distance move based on the services and inventory we assess, protecting you from price increases. A non-binding estimate provides an approximate cost that may change based on actual weight or additional services needed. We recommend binding estimates for long-distance moves to provide budget certainty and avoid surprises.
We accept various payment methods including cash, certified checks, and major credit cards. For long-distance moves, payment is typically collected upon delivery, and credit cards may require pre-authorization. We provide clear payment terms in your moving contract and will discuss all payment expectations during the estimate process to avoid any confusion.

We recommend booking your long-distance move at least 2-3 months in advance, especially if you're moving during peak season (May through September) or need specific dates.

Early booking ensures better availability and more time for proper preparation.
Yes, we highly recommend professional packing for long-distance moves due to the extended transport time and handling. Our trained packers use specialized techniques and materials designed for long-distance transport, significantly reducing the risk of damage. We offer full-service packing, partial packing, or packing materials and supplies if you prefer to pack yourself.
Long-distance move timelines vary based on distance and destination, typically ranging from 1-14 business days for delivery.

We'll explain all options during your estimate.
