How American Van Lines Is Unique
Experienced Crews
Long-haul moving is its own specialty, not a bigger version of a local move. Our crews handle cross-country moves all the time, so multi-day moves are routine for them.
Transparent Pricing
We price the move up front based on what you're actually shipping and how far it's going, and we stand behind that figure.
Flexible Packing Options
Need someone to pack everything, or just the fragile items? We offer full and partial packing services so you only pay for the help you actually need.
Custom Moving Plans
Every move is different, so we tailor our services to fit your needs, timeline, and budget.
Commitment to Quality
We stay up-to-date on the best practices for protecting your belongings. Our moving crews regularly complete certifications in moving-related areas.
National Reach
We operate from our Florida headquarters but have regional offices in other states, which gives us widespread coverage.
A long-distance move should be predictable.
Binding pricing, a set delivery window, trained crews, and one point of contact. Those four things remove most of what people dread about moving across the country, and they're standard on every move.

Tips for Your Long-Distance Move From Redmond
- Research your destination early. Before moving day, look into neighborhoods, schools, and local services where you're headed. Knowing where the nearest grocery store or urgent care is makes settling in faster.
- 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.
- Check parking rules before moving day. Redmond 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. Redmond 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.
FAQs
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?
If flexibility allows, spring and fall offer the best balance of availability and pricing. Summer is peak season, which means higher demand and tighter schedules. Moving between October and April can often save you money and time.
What is an inventory?
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 as well as certified checks. Payment for long-distance moves is typically due at delivery. Your move coordinator will review the payment terms with you before your move date.
Do you provide or sell packing materials?
Packing materials like boxes, tape, and bubble wrap come with our packing service. If you prefer to pack on your own, we sell materials and can deliver them straight to your door.
