Long distance moving

Direct service from the Bay Area to your new state, no hand-offs, no delays.

Moving across state lines is fundamentally different from moving across town. It’s not just a change of address; it’s a change of life. It requires a level of logistics and commitment that goes beyond a standard day trip. When you leave the Bay Area for a new state, you need to know that the people who load your truck are the same people who will unload it at your new front door.

The Long-Distance Difference

Matt’s Motivated Movers approaches long-distance moving with a philosophy of total accountability. Many big van lines will hand off your belongings to third-party contractors or shuffle your boxes between different warehouses along the route. We don't operate like that. We believe that if we start the job, we finish the job.

Why trust us with the long haul?

  • Direct Delivery: We drive your belongings directly to your new home. No unnecessary warehouse holdovers and no handing off your keys to strangers.
  • Inventory Tracking: Your inventory stays with our team, on our truck, from the moment we leave your driveway until we arrive at your destination.
  • Clear Schedules: We provide specific arrival windows so you aren't left camping in an empty house waiting for a truck that’s "on the way."
  • Safe Transport: We drive safely and efficiently to ensure everything survives the highway miles intact.

We handle the heavy lifting, the driving, and the logistics so you can focus on getting yourself and your family to your new home. Whether you are heading north to Oregon, east to Nevada, or further, we are with you for the journey.

How far in advance should I schedule a move?

We recommend scheduling your move at least 2-4 weeks in advance for the best availability. However, we understand that plans change, and we do our best to accommodate last-minute moves whenever possible. Contact us as soon as you know your move date!

What areas do you serve?

We serve the entire Bay Area, including:

- San Francisco
- Oakland
- San Jose
- Berkeley
- And surrounding cities


For long-distance moves, we can transport your belongings anywhere in the continental United States. Contact us to confirm we service your specific area!

How long does a typical move take?

Move duration depends on:

- Size of your home
- Amount of belongings
- Distance between locations
- Stairs, elevators, or difficult access


A typical 2-bedroom apartment move takes 3-5 hours. We'll provide a time estimate when you book.

My move-in date changed. What do I do?

No problem! We understand that moving dates can shift. Please contact us at least 2 days before your scheduled move to adjust your booking. Some changes may affect pricing, but we'll work with you to find a new date that works.
