Tips for Your Long-Distance Move From Sherman
- Do a quick check a week out. Confirm your timeline, addresses, and contact numbers with your moving coordinator so everyone is on the same page.
- 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.
- Label every box. Write the destination room and a brief description on each box. It makes delivery day faster and unpacking less chaotic.
- 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.
- Plan around the heat. Sherman summers average 92°F. Schedule loading for early morning, keep water on hand for the crew, and move heat-sensitive items last so they spend the least time on the truck.
- Sort out the truck’s parking spot early. Sherman has permit and parking requirements that apply to moving trucks. Handling that in advance beats improvising while a loaded truck sits idling.
- 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.
FAQs
How long does a long-distance move usually take?
Long-distance moves typically take 3 to 14 days from pickup to delivery, depending on how far you're going and your scheduling needs. American Van Lines will give you a realistic delivery window upfront so you can plan accordingly.
What's the best time of year to move?
Generally, moving between September and May gives you more flexibility on dates and sometimes better pricing. If you have to move in summer, booking early is key since it's the busiest season for long-distance movers.
What is an inventory?
An inventory lists every item being moved, typically organized by room. It's the foundation of your moving quote and how we make sure nothing is missed between pickup and delivery.
What payment methods do you accept, and when are payments due?
Payment options include major credit cards, debit cards, and certified checks. For long-distance moves, payment is usually collected at delivery. Your coordinator will clarify the exact timeline before your move begins.

Yes. When you add packing services, materials are included. If you're packing yourself and need supplies, we sell boxes, tape, and protective materials and can deliver them to your home before your move.
