Direct, Reliable Long Distance Moving
Moving long distances — whether to a new state or across Washington — is a major life transition, and choosing the right moving company makes all the difference. At First Due Movers, we specialize in long distance moves that combine the personalized service of a local mover with the capability and reliability you need for any long-distance relocation.
Unlike most long distance movers, we use dedicated trucks for your belongings — no shared loads, no warehouse transfers, no additional pickups or drop-offs along the way. Your items are loaded by our crew, transported on a dedicated truck, and delivered by the same crew. We don't hire temporary labor or subcontract any aspect of your move to another company, so you'll have one consistent team from start to finish.
Whether you are relocating from Seattle to California, moving across the country to the East Coast, or making a long-haul move within Washington state, you get transparent pricing, on-time delivery, and a dedicated move coordinator who manages every detail of your move.

What does long distance moving include?
What does long distance moving include?

Does First Due Facilitate Interstate Moves?
Does First Due Facilitate Interstate Moves?
Yes. First Due Movers handles interstate moves nationwide. All long-distance operations are carried out entirely in-house — we do not subcontract drivers or labor for any interstate move. Your belongings travel on a dedicated truck with the same crew from pickup to delivery, so there are no handoffs and no strangers handling your items along the way.
What Areas Does First Due Serve?
What Areas Does First Due Serve?
Our home base is the Seattle metro area and the broader Pacific Northwest. For local moves, we serve Seattle and surrounding communities including Bellevue, Kirkland, Renton, Redmond, Sammamish, Mercer Island, Maple Valley, Auburn, Kent, Snoqualmie, and North Bend. For long-distance moves, we service customers nationwide.
Do You Charge A Set Price Or By The Hour?
Do You Charge A Set Price Or By The Hour?
It depends on the distance of your move. Local moves (55 miles or less) are billed at an hourly rate — you pay only for the time the crew is working, with no hidden fees. Long-distance moves (more than 55 miles) are priced as a flat-rate binding estimate based on your inventory and the distance traveled, so the price you're quoted is the price you pay.
Will the same crew that loads my belongings also unload them?
Will the same crew that loads my belongings also unload them?
Yes. The same crew that loads your belongings at origin will be with you at your destination to unload. There are no handoffs to a different team at any point during your move. This continuity means your crew already knows where everything goes, how your items were packed, and what needs special attention — leading to a smoother, faster unload.
Are my belongings shared with other customers on a long-distance move?
Are my belongings shared with other customers on a long-distance move?
No. Your belongings travel in a dedicated truck — not shared with other households. Unlike national van lines that consolidate shipments in a large semi, First Due uses its own box trucks exclusively for your move. Your items are loaded at your origin and unloaded only at your destination, with no stops to pick up or drop off other customers' goods.
How do you determine if my move is local or long-distance?
How do you determine if my move is local or long-distance?
We use a 55-mile threshold based on transport distance:
- 55 miles or less = local move, billed at an hourly rate
- More than 55 miles = long-distance move, priced with a binding estimate based on your inventory and distance
If you're unsure which applies to your move, just give us a call or request a quote online and we'll figure it out together.
