The duration of a long-distance move depends on various factors, including the travel distance, the amount of items being moved, and any additional services required. Typically, a long-distance move can take a few days to a few weeks.
MoveBuddha states, “If you’re hiring professional movers for a small local move, it’ll take a few hours. If you’re moving three bedrooms cross-country with a moving container company, it could take over a month!” Factors such as weather conditions and road traffic also play a role in determining the timeline. Overall, it is a good rule of thumb to allow one day each for loading and unloading and allow one additional day for every 500 miles traveled.
