How a Residential Move Works with Truckin' Movers
Step 1: The estimate. Call us at (919) 682-2300 or fill out the online form. We'll do a walkthrough of your home, either in person or by video, and give you an accurate quote based on what you actually have. No ballpark guesses that double on move day.
Step 2: The plan. We lock in your move date. Not a window. A date. We'll confirm crew size, truck size, and arrival time. If you need packing services, we schedule that for the day before your move.
Step 3: Move day. Our crew arrives on time with blankets, shrink wrap, and the right equipment for your home. We pad-wrap every piece of furniture. Mattresses go in bags. Mirrors and artwork get specialty packing. We protect your floors and doorframes on the way out and the way in.
Step 4: Delivery. For local moves, delivery is the same day. For long-distance moves, we give you an exact delivery date. Your belongings travel in a dedicated container, loaded once and unloaded once. No warehouse shuffle in between.
Local, Long-Distance, and International
Local moves (under 50 miles) are priced by the hour. A two-person crew with a 26-foot truck is the standard setup for apartments and smaller homes. Larger homes get a three or four-person crew.
NC Long Distance moves (over 50 miles, both endpoints in NC) are regulated by the NC Utilities Commission and priced by weight and distance. We provide exact dates for these, which most movers can't or won't do.
Interstate moves are priced by weight and distance under federal DOT regulations. We give exact pickup and delivery dates for all 48 contiguous states. We've been doing this since 1976, before most moving companies existed.
International moves go by ocean freight. We handle customs paperwork, crating, and container loading. We've shipped households to Europe, Asia, South America, and everywhere in between.
What Makes Truckin' Movers Different
Our movers aren't temps. The average tenure on our crew is over ten years. That matters when someone is carrying your grandmother's china cabinet down a flight of stairs. Experience shows in how they wrap, how they stack a truck, and how they handle tight corners.
We also run a containerized moving system. Your belongings go into a container at your old home, travel in that container, and come out at your new home. If you need storage in between, the container goes into our warehouse untouched. One touch. That's it. Less handling means less damage.
And we give exact dates. Since 1976, we've committed to specific pickup and delivery days. No "sometime this week" windows. Doug Carlton started this company on that promise, and we still deliver on it.
