White-glove, coast to coast
Pack-out to placement: one coordinator, GPS-tracked equipment, your price in writing before move day.
Start your free quoteHow it works
Transparent milestones from survey to interstate delivery, your price in writing, a named carrier on your paperwork, and one coordinator who answers for all of it.
Start online or by phone. Your coordinator captures the route, dates, and anything special upfront — stairs, elevators, HOA rules, a piano, artwork.
Prefer a video call? Complete a quick virtual inventory by walking us through your home, or simply send us an itemized list. We'll use either option to accurately estimate the truck space your move requires.
Packing, storage, specialty-item handling, and other moving services can be included in your plan upfront, so you know what services are part of your move before moving day.
Your written estimate — binding on qualifying moves — FMCSA-required valuation disclosures, and the carrier hauling your goods, AmeriSafe or a vetted carrier, named on your paperwork before the truck rolls.
Dispatch, loaders, drivers, and delivery crews stay tethered through your coordinator all the way to destination delivery.
Binding pricing
Most moving-day horror stories start with a vague estimate that becomes a bigger bill at delivery. AmeriSafe quotes qualifying interstate moves as a binding estimate: every service itemized up front, the total locked in writing, and changes only by signed addendum. Your coordinator confirms in writing whether your route and inventory qualify.
How we compare
Every claim in our column is a written policy or a federal credential you can verify — not a slogan.
| What matters | AmeriSafe Van Lines | Low-bid booking sites | DIY truck rental |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your price | Written quote before move day — binding estimates on most interstate moves | Often a vague estimate that can change at the truck | Truck rental + fuel + tolls + equipment + your time |
| Who handles your goods | FMCSA-authorized carrier — AmeriSafe or a vetted partner — named on your paperwork before pickup | Commonly resold to the lowest bidder — carrier unknown until move day | You and whoever you can recruit |
| Point of contact | Dedicated customer service from booking through delivery | Call center; a different rep each call | Nobody to call |
| Stairs, long carries & shuttles | Surveyed up front and priced into your written quote | Frequently billed as day-of extras | Your back and your weekend |
| Pianos, antiques & fine art | Specialty crews, custom crating, climate-controlled transport | Rarely offered — often refused, or moved only with liability waivers | One drop from disaster |
| Protection | Full-value protection available on every interstate move | Released value only (60¢/lb) unless you ask and pay attention | Whatever your credit card covers, if anything |

Why AmeriSafe
We hold carriers to standards we live ourselves.
AmeriSafe is licensed as both an interstate motor carrier and a household-goods broker. We run moves on our own authority, so when we place your move with a partner carrier, we know exactly what to demand: because we do this job ourselves, we can tell a good crew from a cheap one before your furniture is on the truck.
Two ways to price your move. You get the better one.
Dual authority means every move can be priced two ways: on our own equipment, or with a preferred carrier at rates we negotiate on volume. Your coordinator quotes whichever is better for your route, dates, and inventory, and the savings pass to you as a lower written estimate.
One accountable coordinator, whoever hauls it.
Either way, the FMCSA-authorized carrier hauling your goods is named on your paperwork before move day, and your senior coordinator answers for the whole move, from the video inventory to the last box off the truck.
FAQ

877-412-1344Transit time depends on distance, route, and any specialty handling. Most cross-country moves take 5–14 days from pickup. Your coordinator will give you a specific delivery window with your quote.
Your price is based on the truck space your inventory actually needs, plus distance, specialty items (piano, antique, art), packing services, and dates. No in-home visit: a quick video inventory or itemized list locks your written estimate — binding on most qualifying interstate moves.
Look for active FMCSA registration (USDOT and MC numbers), written estimates, clear insurance coverage, and transparent policies. AmeriSafe publishes all of these: our authority is verifiable on FMCSA SAFER, every quote is put in writing (with binding estimates on qualifying interstate moves), and our refund, claims, and carrier-disclosure policies are on this site.
We send a prep checklist when you book. The basics: pre-pack personal items, label rooms, pull aside anything fragile or specialty, and clear a path for the crew.
Basic protection is included with your move at $0.60 per pound per item, up to $10,000. For customers who want broader coverage, we're partnered with a third-party insurance provider that offers full-value protection for your entire household shipment.
Hazardous materials (propane, paint, ammunition), perishables, and live plants on long hauls. Your coordinator will share the complete restricted list.
Yes, military, senior, multi-property, and corporate relocation accounts. Ask your coordinator when you request your quote.
A signed estimate, bill of lading at pickup, and inventory checklist. We provide everything; you just review and sign.
