Move A Short Distance with Collegian Movers
What is a Short-Distance Move?
A local move completed by a short distance mover is determined to be a short distance move if the range between the origin and the destination, is less than 50 miles. In addition, both locations must be located in the same state. Crossing state lines or making a move over 50 miles automatically changes the move to a long-distance move.
Benefits of Short Distance Movers versus Long Distance Movers
Short-distance moves require less organization and planning since the move is typically shorter and more straightforward.
Local short-distance moves may require fewer movers and less equipment than long-distance moves.
Depending on the size of your move, it may require less time and fewer days of travel to get the job done.
Short haul movers may be less costly than long-distance movers due to the shorter distance and fewer services required.
Moving a short distance allows you to use your own vehicle rather than a moving truck to move smaller or fragile items.
Short-distance moves may be less disruptive to your life since you can arrive at your new home more quickly.
Moving nearby may provide more flexibility in scheduling and may be less stressful due to the shorter timeline.
