Out-of-state moves

What do you want to do?

Book it ourselves first. MMM is the last resort.

Why Neon Giant

  • Dedicated truck and crew, not a shared trailer.
  • Fixed pickup date and committed delivery date.pending confirmation
  • The same crew loads and unloads on our own truck lanes.pending confirmation
  • No broker. You deal directly with the mover.
  • A local Washington company. 4.9 stars on Google.
Own trucks: WA, OR, Northern CA, Reno NV, ID and MT. Everywhere else is a one-way U-Haul: our crew loads, our driver drives, we hire offload help, and we fly the driver home.

When MMM makes sense

  • Price is the only thing that matters and we've already quoted.
  • Far lanes. Their partner price usually runs about 20 to 40% under our draft price.
  • They have their own interstate calculator with packing and shuttle options.
  • Their quote shows transit days and a delivery window. Read those to the customer.
  • They pay us 10% on referred jobs.
The trade off: the customer gives up our dedicated truck and our crew. Say that out loud before you refer.

Know the options

Customers mix these up. Know the difference so you can explain it in one sentence.

Independent mover that's us

One company owns the whole move. Our people pack, load, drive and deliver. You talk to the same office from quote to delivery.

Best for: people who want one point of contact, firm dates and their stuff on one truck.

Van line

A national brand that works through local agents. Your load often shares a big trailer with other families' loads and gets a delivery window instead of a set day. The agent who loads may not be the one who delivers.

Best for: corporate relocations and very flexible timelines.

Broker

Sells the move, then hands it to whatever carrier takes it. The broker never touches your stuff. Low online quotes often come from brokers and can change once the real carrier shows up.

Watch for: big deposits, no truck or crew of their own, a quote given with no inventory.

DIY: truck rental or container

They rent a truck or a pod and do the work themselves. Cheapest on paper. They pay for fuel, hotels and time off work, and they carry all the risk.

Offer: we load their rental or container, or we do it all with our one-way U-Haul plan.

3 questions to ask on every out-of-state call

  1. What date do you need to be in the new place? Firm date means we win. Flexible means price will matter more.
  2. How much are we moving? We quote one full 26-ft truck max. More than that, get Dane.
  3. Who else are you getting quotes from? Van line, broker, or rental. Then use "Know the options" above.
