Moving long distance can be very costly. Obtaining accurate estimates are important and will insure there are no unexpected charges. In general, interstate moves are priced according to weight or cubic feet. Nobel Van Lines charges by the cubic foot and the weight. By using this method, we can guarantee the cost of your long distance move before it has been loaded onto our truck and provide you with the complete cost of your move to the last penny. Prices based on weight are usually estimates and can be adjusted after the truck has been weighed. A generally accepted industry standard equation for comparing estimates of weight to cubic feet is divide weight by 7 to get cubic feet or to multiply cubic feet by 7 to get weight. In general, the cost of long distance moves are broken down into 3 parts:

• Transportation - The Transportation is the price you pay to transport your goods from point A to point B. As stated, Nobel Van Lines charges by the cubic foot. The price per cubic foot varies based upon the distance of the move.

• Packing - Nobel Van Lines does not charge for professional packing of furniture using blanket padding or disassembly and reassembly upon delivery of furniture where needed. In addition, we can provide packing services for all your household contents such as China, Linens, Books, Dishes, Artwork, etc. The price for this service is based on the number of boxes requiring packing. If you would like to do the packing yourself and purchase the boxes from us, please click here.

• Insurance - Included in your long distance move costs, at no additional charge, is the basic insurance coverage of $.60 per pound as is required by the U.S. Dept. of Transportation. You can obtain other types of coverage either through Nobel Van Lines or your own insurance company. To get more information about insurance options, please click here.

In addition to these primary cost components, you may be subject to other charges on a special moving needs basis. As example, there may be extra charges for custom made wooden crates, hoisting or stairs at the delivery destination. All these will be discussed up front prior to your long distance move and will be included in your total move cost quote. Another important issue that can arise is getting a tractor-trailer access to your new home. In some cases, they can not approach and need to be off-loaded to a smaller truck for delivery. In this case, you would be charged an extra cost for the labor time.
