We proudly serve communities across Massachusetts. Available in Boston, Cambridge, Newton, and Worcester and 150+ cities throughout Massachusetts.

Moving across state lines requires expertise, proper licensing, and meticulous planning. Big Bear Movers is a federally licensed interstate moving company (USDOT #4336766, MC #1693922) authorized to transport household goods across state lines throughout the United States. Whether you're relocating from [Boston](/locations/boston) to Florida for retirement, moving from [Cambridge](/locations/cambridge) to California for a new job, heading from [Worcester](/locations/worcester) to North Carolina, or starting fresh from [Newton](/locations/newton), [Somerville](/locations/somerville), [Brookline](/locations/brookline), or [Quincy](/locations/quincy), our long-distance moving specialists provide comprehensive, reliable service from start to finish. Long-distance moves are fundamentally different from local moves—they require different regulations, pricing structures, and logistics. That's why we assign every interstate move a dedicated moving coordinator who manages your relocation from initial estimate through final delivery. We provide binding estimates based on in-home or virtual surveys (never over-the-phone guesses), guaranteed delivery windows so you know exactly when your belongings will arrive, real-time GPS tracking of your shipment, and storage-in-transit options if your new home isn't quite ready. Our long-distance moving services include professional packing and loading, furniture disassembly and reassembly, full-value protection insurance options, climate-controlled transport, and white-glove delivery and setup at your destination. Moving across the country is a major life transition—Big Bear Movers is committed to making it as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Long-Distance Moving Costs

Interstate moving costs are based on weight and distance, as regulated by federal law. Big Bear Movers provides binding estimates after conducting thorough inventory surveys. Cost factors include: Total weight of household goods (most important factor), Distance from origin to destination, Additional services (packing, storage, etc.), Time of year (summer is peak season), Access at both locations (stairs, elevators, long carries), and Insurance coverage level selected. Pricing transparency: Labor & transport combined based on weight/distance (no separate hourly rate for long-distance), Mileage: $0.75 per mile for the entire shipment, Packing services: $45-65/hour per packer if requested, Packing materials: Charged separately if we pack, or you can pack yourself, Storage-in-transit: Usually 7-14 days included, additional days at daily rate. Example long-distance costs: 1-bedroom apartment (MA to FL, ~3,000 lbs): $3,000-4,500. 2-bedroom apartment (MA to NC, ~5,000 lbs): $3,500-6,000. 3-bedroom house (MA to TX, ~8,000 lbs): $5,500-8,500. 4-bedroom house (MA to CA, ~12,000 lbs): $8,000-14,000. Important: These are estimates. Every move is unique. Federal law requires in-home or virtual surveys for accurate binding estimates. Beware of companies that provide instant quotes over the phone—they often lead to surprise charges on moving day. Big Bear Movers provides honest, binding estimates with no surprises.
