There are a number of differences between local and interstate moves, but one of the main differences is that packing needs to be more secure and able to sustain more time on the road. That might mean choosing to let your moving company do the packing for you, or it might mean buying more and higher quality packing supplies.Unlike a local moving company, an interstate moving company is more used to the extra care and effort required to securely move your belongings long distances. They are also better able to handle the logistical challenges that may come with a long move, multiple real estate transactions, and other elements of the move.
