Frequently Asked Questions

Moves are first categorized by the type of cargo they contain.  There are two types of cargo that we handle: (1) household goods and; (2) commercial or office goods.

Moves are next categorized by distance:

• Local moves are moves in which the origin site is within thirty-five (35) miles of the destination site;

• North Carolina Long Distance moves (NCLD’s) are moves in which the origin site and destination site are both are in North Carolina, but are more than thirty-five (35) miles apart;

• Interstate moves are moves in which the origin site and the destination site are in different states;

• International moves are moves in which the origin site and the destination site are in different countries.

Federal and state governments regulate household moves.  Commercial moves within North Carolina are not regulated.

Yes, we are container-moving experts. We have several different types and sizes of containers. For storage we use “warehouse containers.” These are large, all-wood containers that we bring to your site inside one of our moving vans. We also offer all-weather “outdoor containers” that are delivered to your location and can be stored outside. For interstate moves, we have specially designed “long distance containers.” These also fit inside our moving vans and are loaded and unloaded at your locations. For international moves, we use either custom-sized containers for small moves, or 20- and 40-foot steel ocean containers for larger moves.

For local moves, the trucks we use are the largest trucks you can get with only two axles. They are like the largest size U-haul truck, only a little longer and taller. For long-distance moves, we use many different sizes of straight trucks and tractor-trailers. Most of the time we use straight trucks and half-sized 28’ long semi-trailers that can get close to most locations. Our goal is to use equipment that can get close enough to your home so that a shuttle-truck, and hence double-handling of your items, is not required.
