Before the relocation begins, a mover will arrive at your house with a weight ticket of their empty vehicle to compute weight-based moves. This was recorded using a scale that was "dot certified." Your vehicle is then brought back to a weight scale and weighed once again once all of your products have been loaded aboard it. The remaining cost of the two tickets is then the client's obligation. (The distinction between the truck that is empty and the vehicle that has stuff on it.)
A long carry is a charge added by movers which signifies that the distance between where the truck is parked and the entrance point of the home is BEYOND 75 feet. Charges for this service range dramatically in pricing and is a question that should be directly asked to whichever mover you chose.
Common misconception. When an elevator is charged on your order (usually $75) that money goes to the movers directly for having the job take longer then it needs to. Movers are restricted with how much they can fit into the home at once when using a small or even a cargo elevator. Also someone needs to be down with the truck at all times to make sure the items are protected while the other two movers are upstairs regardless on the size of the job. Whereas on smaller first floor job or small house moves; you can use two men for labor.
That is a question I am always uncomfortable answering but I just say what I have always done. In my moves, I have given the foreman (the head guy $50 per day of work, and the helpers each $30 per day of work). I also make sure to have food and drinks for them to start and finish everything with enough energy.

Any move that is farther than 50 miles away, a move to another side of the state or a move to a different state is considered as a long distance move.
It depends on how far you plan on moving. For example, if you are moving to a nearby city or a neighbouring state, your items will likely be delivered in one to seven days from the previously agreed moving date.

If you have any special requests concerning the delivery time, feel free to have them discussed with your moving manager.

Either way, make sure they get the break they deserve.
