Many people hear the terms “Local Movers” and “Long-Distance Movers” and assume that these have to do purely with how far the move is. Local moves are ones that take place within the borders of a state while long-distance moves are ones where you cross the border.
There’s significant importance for this distinction because there are laws and regulations in place for moving across state lines, and these vary from state to state. Be sure to ask your movers whether they can take you across state lines if necessary. The best way to be sure is to search for a moving company that is an agent of a national van line.
