Moving across state lines isn’t just about distance. It’s all about details. From route planning to timing, our team is trained to handle the logistics that long-distance moves demand. We bring precision, preparation, and peace of mind to every out-of-state move, no matter how far you're going.
Moving should come with momentum, not mystery charges. That’s why we build your quote with real numbers, not rough guesses. Our flat-rate pricing means no upcharges, no surprises, and no second-guessing. Just one clear number, so you can budget smart and move confidently.
You’ll never have to chase down answers. From the day you book to the moment your last box is delivered, your dedicated move coordinator will keep you informed, updated, and prepared. Questions, timing, last-minute changes? One call, one person, every time.
Need us to pack every dish or just the fragile stuff? Want short-term storage or help with a piano? We offer flexible options you can mix and match, so your move feels tailored, not templated. You decide how hands-on (or hands-off) you want to be.
Some movers vanish the second the truck pulls away — not us. We stay in touch, follow up, and make sure your move ends as strong as it started. Whether you’re on call with a question or need a quick post-move check-in, our team is here and ready to help.
American Van Lines moves people all over the country, but our approach is always personal. You’ll get the strength of a national network — with crews, trucks, and coverage from coast to coast — and the warmth of a team that treats your move like it’s their own.
Here's what our moving process looks like from start to finish:
In the days before your move, we'll send helpful reminders and checklists. You'll know exactly what to expect, how to prepare, and what our team will take care of on arrival.
On moving day, our professional crew will handle all the heavy lifting and secure loading. Then, your items hit the road to Alabama, with tracking and status updates along the way.
Once we arrive, we'll unload your belongings with care and place everything where it belongs. After the move, your coordinator will check in to make sure you're happy and fully settled in.
Start by reaching out for a free, no-obligation quote. We'll ask a few quick questions about your inventory, schedule, and destination to provide a detailed, flat-rate estimate.
Once you book, you'll be paired with a move coordinator who will guide you through every phase of your move — from paperwork and logistics to any last-minute questions or changes.
Need packing help? Temporary storage? Specialty item handling? We'll tailor your move to match your needs and budget, ensuring you only pay for what you actually need.
Definitely! We provide both full and partial packing services, based on your preferences.
If you opt for a packing service, materials like boxes, tape, and padding can be included. If not, you’re welcome to buy them through AVL or use your own. We’ll go over all the options when we plan your move.
Yes, it’s best to be there for both pickup and delivery to keep an eye on things and ask any questions that come up.
