Patrick Rodgers
The experience with the movers was excellent. They were organized, prompt and took great care with the goods that we had. They worked very fast. Also, in fact they finished before time. For example, they moved goods that filled a 10 x 20 unit was moved and organized in an hour and 45 minutes. The whole experience was great and I would definitely recommend them in the future.

After researching and vetting several moving companies, I'm glad we chose 3 Men Movers. They delivered great service at a great value. Wee needed same-day pack and move for a 1-bedroom apartment. Dora and her team of packers arrived right on time at 8 AM and packed everything quickly and carefully. Salvador and his crew took over, moving everything efficiently and were very professional. Norma coordinated the entire process seamlessly including easy payment through Zelle. Everything was complete around 2 PM without issue. Highly recommended!

Anthony (“Murillo”) and his crew were super efficient! They get things done fast and did not waste a single minute. He was on time and very communicative via text messages. We had a total of 4 stops for my move (all locally) and traffic was bad that day but they were able to get things done in 3 hours. Definitely will use them again for my next move.
Aaron Laube
Joe and his crew were fantastic. They showed up on time and got busy. They were very careful with my stuff, they were polite and extremely hard working. After packing my house into the truck, they even went and grabbed everything from storage before heading to the new house. I would definitely use these guys again! This was a great crew to work with.
Jillian Sorensen
Your whole company is a dream to work with. This is the 7th time I’ve used 3 men movers and they never disappoint! Today I almost hired a handyman to help me until I became uneasy due to his lack of professionalism. So I called 3 Men Movers to inquire about moving heavy items up and down my townhouse. It was easy to book, service was superb! Thank you again for helping me set up my life!
Our Long Distance Moving Process
Pre-Move Communication
Our experts will build out as much detail as you can provide to give our moving crews an idea of what they should expect as well as what you should expect. Including:
- A personalized confirmation of details about the rates, the move crew selected and reserved, who will be contacted the day before the move and on move day.
- An emailed checklist of pre-move specific things to take care of before move day.
- A call or text the day before the move, confirming the move, start time, and an introduction to the crew lead
Crew Arrival And Pre-start Walk Through
The selected crew arrives on time, in uniform, with a clean 3 Men Movers truck and all supplies/tools necessary to do the move. Our crew lead will walk through your space with you to:
- Introduce the crew
- Determine where the closest stairway or elevator will be
- Determine what is being moved
- Check items for pre-existing damages and note
- Check for items that require waiver signatures (washer/dryer disconnect, moving televisions, etc)
- Determine what needs to be disassembled and reassembled during the move
- Confirm the rates and estimate and have you sign the contract
Move Preparation And Protection
Once the crew leader has performed the walk through, then we prep the building, and your belongings to prevent damages and make executing the move easier for the crew, including:
- Protective runners to prevent damage to flooring
- Shrink wrap for furniture fabrics
- Moving blankets to cover hard surfaces and prevent items from rubbing together during transit
- Tools to properly disassemble/reassemble furniture/other items
Execute Loading The Truck
This is where we shine. You’ll appreciate the care, efficiency, and hustle that our movers exhibit throughout your move. Typically one of the three movers is focused on loading the truck itself, while the other 2 movers are focused on bringing belongings from the house to the truck. This accomplishes the following:
- Our movers load the truck in a manner that makes the best use of space, which will both prevent damage and reduce the possibility of a second trip
- A mover in the truck adds a level of security to prevent theft
Second Walk Through
Once we’ve emptied your space of all belongings that will be moved, our crew will perform another walk through with you to determine:
- All of your possessions to be moved are accounted for
- We make sure that we have all of our tools and equipment back on the truck
- If we’re ready to travel to your destination location
Destination Walk Through
When we arrive at your destination, our crew leader will walk with you to determine where your possessions are to be placed and arranged. Then our crew will:
- Begin the process of protecting floors
- Unload your belongings per placement direction
- Reassemble any furniture necessary
- Remove any shrinkwrap or move materials used during the move
Final Walk Through And Completion
Once we’ve finished unloading the truck, we perform one final walk through to make sure:
- Items are placed in rooms and spots per your wishes
- We’ve cleaned up any packing materials used during the move
- We’ve reassembled anything taken apart during the process
- If we’ve used any elevator equipment, that it’s clean and ready for next use
- You’re happy with the finished product
After completing the final walk through, our crew leader will stop the clock, provide you the details of total hours worked and the final bill for the services completed. You pay and we all get to relax, knowing that the heavy lifting is done!
If you really want to relax, you can book one of our packing/unpacking service crews and rest while we take care of everything.

The Best Long Distance Movers: Your Guide to Stress-Free Relocation
Long distance moving refers to relocating belongings across significant mileage, often over state lines. Whether you're transitioning to a neighboring region or embarking on a full cross country adventure, the planning required is entirely different from that of local moves. Long distances increase the complexity of timelines, packing requirements, and transportation logistics. That’s why engaging experienced professionals is essential.
Proper planning helps you anticipate obstacles and budget for every aspect of the journey. From knowing the average weight of your household goods to estimating travel time, good preparation can help reduce stress and surprises. At 3 Men Movers, we’ve been helping families move confidently since 1985 by offering expert advice and tailored solutions for every relocation.
How to Choose the Right Long Distance Moving Company
The moving industry is filled with options, but not all companies offer the same level of service and accountability. It's important to do your research—start by reading reviews, checking accreditations, and asking for multiple estimates. Look for a provider with a strong track record and solid reputation for delivering on promises.
3 Men Movers has received numerous awards and has maintained an A+ rating with the BBB since 1997. We’ve also been voted a Neighborhood Fave on Nextdoor since 2021. Our average rating of 5 stars from thousands of satisfied customers reflects our commitment to top notch customer service. Whether you're planning a corporate relocation or a residential transition, our experienced team ensures you're in capable hands.
Understanding the Range of Long Distance Moving Services
Moving isn't just about transportation—it involves a variety of long distance services designed to support your relocation from beginning to end. A full service mover like 3 Men Movers offers comprehensive options including packing, transportation, unloading, and even temporary storage solutions.
For example, our partial packing options are perfect for those who only need help with fragile or high-value items. Our professional packers can label and stage moving boxes by room to make unpacking faster. After your move, we also provide debris removal, which is especially helpful when you’ve used our packing materials.
Essential Tips for a Smooth and Stress-Free Move
To make your move as stress free as possible, begin by preparing a first night box checklist. Include essentials like toiletries, phone chargers, important documents, and a few changes of clothes. If you're moving with kids, consider adding a child menu of favorite snacks and comfort items to make the transition easier.
Stay organized by labeling each box clearly, color-coding by room, and keeping an inventory. Communication is also key—work closely with your movers and clarify expectations. When you choose 3 Men Movers, you’re not just hiring muscle. You're partnering with a team that shows up on time, communicates clearly, and treats your belongings with care and respect.
Managing Logistics and Transportation for Long Distance Moves
Handling logistics for a long distance relocation requires more than just a truck. Timing, road conditions, and even regional regulations can all affect your move. That’s why using a company with years of experience navigating these complexities makes a world of difference.
One of our most popular options is our MOVITS system—a portable storage company solution that combines flexibility with safety. We deliver a secure 20' x 8' x 8' container to your doorstep. Our crew handles the loading services using padded blankets for item protection at no extra cost. The container is then transported to our climate-controlled facility until you’re ready for delivery—perfect for those moving state to state or even within the same state with unpredictable schedules.
Unpacking, Settling In, and Post-Move Services
Once you’ve arrived, unpacking becomes the next challenge. Whether you do it yourself or let our team handle it, pre-labeled boxes from our packing service ensure a faster, more organized process. At 3 Men Movers, we go a step further by hauling away any boxes and materials we packed for you—so you can start fresh, without clutter.
Need help settling in? Our team is just a call away. We can assist with furniture setup, reassembly, and navigating your new home layout. Whether it’s an international move or just a few items across town, we treat each job with the same level of care. The result? A seamless transition and one less thing to worry about.
