Long-Distance Moving from Alabama

Your own dedicated truck and Earl’s crew, start to finish — no shared loads, no cross-loading onto a stranger’s freight.

When you’re leaving Alabama for another state, the question that matters most is whose hands are on your things between here and there. With Earls Moving Company the answer is simple: our own crew loads your dedicated truck in Birmingham, our own driver takes it out on I-65 or I-20, and that same crew unloads it at the other end. Nobody cross-loads your couch onto a freight pallet with three other families’ boxes.

We hold US DOT and MC authority for interstate work and have been running long hauls out of Jefferson County since 2010.

A dedicated truck changes everything about a long-distance move. Because your shipment isn’t combined with anyone else’s, it doesn’t sit in a terminal waiting to fill a trailer, and there’s no two-week delivery window that swings wide. We give you a firm pickup and a tight delivery date, and the crew that wrapped your dining set in Birmingham is the one that carries it into your new place.

Long-distance jobs start at a binding written rate of $1,850. “Binding” means the number we quote is the number you pay — it’s locked by weight and inventory, not estimated loose and revised after we’ve driven off. Earl or Wade builds it from a real inventory of your home, not a phone guess.

Why our own truck beats a shared load

Most low headline prices you see for cross-country moves are shared-load freight, where your goods ride with other shipments and get handled several times. Here’s how a dedicated Earls truck compares:

Factor	Shared / cross-loaded freight	Earls dedicated truck
Who handles your goods	Multiple crews at transfer points	Our crew only, load to unload
Delivery date	Wide window, often 1–2 weeks	Firm date, agreed up front
Quote type	Often estimate, revised later	Binding written rate

Every long-distance shipment carries up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage. Released value is $0.60 per pound by default; we’ll set you up with full-value protection if you’d rather. A $89 deposit holds your dates and comes off the final bill.

What’s not part of the base rate

So the binding number stays honest, a few things are quoted as their own lines when you need them:

Full or partial packing of your home before the truck arrives.
Specialty crating or handling for a piano or safe, from $319.
Storage on either end if your closing dates don’t sync up.
Bulky or extra-heavy single items that need special equipment.

We move folks out of Birmingham, Hoover, and the over-the-mountain suburbs to just about anywhere in the country. Tell us where you’re headed and what’s coming with you, and we’ll put a real, binding price in writing.

The questions we get most

Does my furniture get transferred onto another carrier’s truck along the way?

No. Your shipment travels on its own dedicated Earls truck the whole way. We don’t combine it with other households or hand it off to a partner carrier — our driver and crew take it from Birmingham straight to your new home, so it’s handled by us alone.

Can you tell me the exact day my things will arrive?

Yes. Because you’ve got a dedicated truck rather than a slot on a shared load, we agree on a firm delivery date up front instead of a vague one-to-two-week window. We give you a real pickup and delivery date when we book and stick to it.

Is the $1,850 starting price a guess that changes later?

It’s a binding written rate. We build it from a real inventory of your home — not a quick phone estimate — and the figure in your contract is what you pay. Long-distance jobs start at $1,850 and scale with weight and what’s going.

What kind of authority do you carry for an interstate move?

We hold active US DOT and MC operating authority for interstate household goods, and we’re bonded and insured. You can verify our numbers before you book. For moves staying inside Alabama, we also keep current Alabama PSC household-goods authority.
