Across the Country Move
“Colonial moved our household goods from MN to Washington state. Not one scratch, dent or missing item. Just an incredible job, exceeding our expectations. Movers seemed to treat our items as their own. We could not be happier.”

Jeff P.

Chosen for Their High Satisfaction Ratings
“Colonial Van Lines was chosen because of its good ratings on the internet. I was not disappointed. Colonial was not the cheapest mover, but I do not regret paying extra for the quality. All the contact leading up to the pick-up was professional and courteous. The movers were careful with our belongings, treating it as if it were their home. The workers delivering the goods were on time and were very open to our directions. ... I am very satisfied with the move.”

Ray

South Florida to Wisconsin
“My move was from South Florida to Wisconsin. From start to finish all departments were communicative and pleasant to work with. My coordinator was in constant communication with me from pick up to drop off. (I did the full pack as well.) … Delivery time was roughly a 14 day period — my items were delivered in 5. All items were shipped without damage. … Moving is already a headache in itself and Colonial Van Lines made the journey easy.”

How long does a cross country move take?

Moving cross country typically takes between 7 to 14 days, depending on the distance and any special requirements. It’s important to start your preparation months ahead to ensure a smooth transition.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the typical timeline for a cross-country move:

Pre-move preparation (1–2 weeks): Planning, packing, coordinating details, and loading
Transit time (7–14 days): Actual travel time across the country
Delivery and unpacking (1–2 days): Unloading, unpacking, and reassembling furniture at your new location

Our team handles every step of the moving process efficiently to get your belongings to your new home as quickly as possible, so you can start enjoying your new space.

How do I find reputable cross country movers?

Hiring reputable professional cross country movers is one of the most important things you can do to ensure a successful move.

All movers crossing state lines must be licensed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and carry adequate insurance. Verify that your movers have a valid USDOT number and are registered with the FMCSA to make sure you're protected.

Look for companies with rave reviews and solid long-distance moving experience. Be wary of moving brokers, who act as intermediaries between you and the actual movers, and often add hidden fees and provide unreliable service. Also, steer clear of sketchy companies with unrealistically low prices, as they may cut corners or compromise on quality — not something you want to risk with a cross country move.

Here are some red flags to watch out for:

Lack of physical address or place of business
No proper license or insurance coverage
Unusually low estimates, which may lead to hidden fees or poor service
Demand for large upfront deposits, which can be a sign of fraud
No clear written contract outlining all terms and conditions
