Local vs. Interstate Moves: What's the Difference?

Last updated 1 year ago

Whether you are crossing state lines or simply moving down the street, your moving plans might change depending on what type of move you are planning. Talk to an experienced Denver moving company about how to plan your move, and learn about some of the differences between local and interstate moves below:

Local Moves

If you are moving within fifty miles of your current home, then your move is considered a local one. For a local move, you might want to work out an hourly rate with a moving company of your choice. A one-bedroom home typically requires just two movers, but as the size of the home increases, so will the needed manpower. Although you might be charged for additional movers or the increased time it takes to move, hiring an experienced company can reduce stress and make your move easier.

Interstate Moves

When moving between states, you will usually be charged by weight as opposed to time. A moving company will weigh the truck when it’s empty and again after it has been loaded with your belongings. Discuss interstate moves at length with the moving company to find out exactly how they charge before you begin a long trek. Some companies will even take care of packing and unpacking for you to make the whole process a little bit easier.

It is important to find the right moving company for any kind of move, whether it’s local, interstate, or even a business move. If you are working with a good moving company, you will experience a move free of hidden charges and broken belongings.
