How AVL Is Different Than Other MT Movers

At American Van Lines, we understand that moving is a major milestone, and it can be scary to trust your personal belongings with just any mover. Lucky for you, trust is everything to us.

Unlike other moving companies, American Van Lines only employs full-time — and fully trained — moving crew members, not contract labor or part-time employees. We've built a reputation for reliability and skill that consistently earns us recognition from national publications and corporations that pick us to handle their relocations. And we are upfront and transparent about our costs — some of the most affordable in the industry — so you won't be surprised by the final bill.

Climate and Weather

Montana has a lot of variation in geography, topography, and elevation, and the climate is equally varied. The western half is mountainous, interrupted by numerous large valleys. Eastern Montana comprises plains and badlands, broken by hills and isolated mountain ranges, The Continental Divide has a considerable effect on the climate, as it restricts the flow of warmer air from the Pacific from moving east, and drier continental air from moving west. The area west of the divide has a modified northern Pacific Coast climate, with milder winters, cooler summers, less wind, and a longer growing season. Low clouds and fog often form in the valleys west of the divide in winter, but this is rarely seen in the east. Temperatures can hit as high as 84 in the summer, and winters range from 12 to 33.

Education

Montana is home to a variety of public and private schools, as well as reputable higher education institutions. Montana State University, The University of Montana, and Montana Tech are well-known for their academic programs and research opportunities.

Why AVL Beats DIY

DIY Is Not Always the Bargain It Seems

It might be tempting to try to tackle your move on your own. But DIY isn't as cheap as people think. Between fuel costs, tolls, rental fees, and potential repairs, the budget-friendly option can turn expensive fast.

Personalized Moving Plan

American Van Lines offers something different: transparent, flat-rate pricing with no surprises. We'll design a personalized moving plan that works for your needs and stays within your budget, making full-service moving a realistic and stress-free option.

Cheaper Isn't Always Better

Packing everything yourself, hauling heavy furniture, and driving an unfamiliar truck isn't just exhausting, it's also risky. From expert packing and loading to reassembling furniture at your destination, we take care of the hard work.

Award-Winning Service You Can Trust

When it comes to long-distance moves in Montana, American Van Lines stands out as a top choice. But don't just take our word for it — we've been named among the industry's elite by multiple trusted sources.
