Tips for Your Long-Distance Move From Newark
- Lock in your moving date early. Long-distance schedules fill up fast, especially in peak season. The sooner you book, the more flexibility you'll have on timing.
- Wrap fragile items with what you already own. Use towels, linens, and clothing to cushion breakables. It saves money on packing supplies and makes good use of items you're moving anyway.
- Mark boxes with a priority level. Label boxes as "open first," "open later," or "storage" so unpacking at your new place feels manageable instead of overwhelming.
- Transfer medical records in advance. If you're switching doctors or pharmacies, request records early so you're not scrambling to get care in a new city.
- Keep winter dates flexible. Lows in Newark average 23°F, and a cold snap can push a pickup or a delivery window. If you can avoid booking against a hard deadline in January or February, do.
- Clear a path before the truck arrives if you’re moving in the winter. With about 26" of snow a year in Newark, a salted walkway and a shoveled driveway save time on loading day and keep the crew on their feet.
- Plan for rain on loading day. Newark averages about 48 inches of rain a year. Ask your crew to bring floor protection, and keep mattresses, upholstered furniture, and anything cardboard off the ground while the truck is loading.
- Check parking rules before moving day. Newark has specific parking and permit requirements for moving trucks. Sorting this out ahead of time keeps the crew from circling the block or getting ticketed while they load.
- Confirm truck access. Newark has walkable, densely built neighborhoods where a full-size moving truck may not fit down the street or park close to your door. Tell your coordinator about narrow streets, alleys, or a long carry so the right equipment is assigned.
- Redirect your mail before you leave. File your change of address with USPS so nothing piles up at your old place after you’ve gone.

How long does a long-distance move usually take?
A long-distance move can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the distance, your schedule, and other logistics. We'll work with you to set a realistic timeline and keep you informed every step of the way.
What's the best time of year to move?
Late spring and early fall are ideal for most moves, as weather is manageable and schedules are less congested. If you're moving in summer, book at least 6 to 8 weeks ahead to lock in your preferred dates.

Your moving inventory is a room-by-room list of everything going on the truck. American Van Lines uses it to calculate your flat-rate estimate and confirm that every item is loaded and delivered as expected.
What payment methods do you accept, and when are payments due?
We accept major credit and debit cards and certified checks. Payment for long-distance moves is typically due upon delivery, but our team will walk you through the specifics during the planning process.
