Frequently Asked Questions
Moving long-distance involves a lot of planning, and it’s normal to have questions. Over the years, we’ve answered plenty of queries from customers preparing for a big move. Here are a few frequently asked questions and our answers to help inform you:
A: When moving across state lines, the moving company will handle most of the necessary paperwork for the transportation of your goods. ACM Movers, for instance, will provide you with a contract called a Bill of Lading (which outlines the terms of your move and serves as a receipt for your belongings) and an inventory list of all items we load onto the truck. We are fully licensed for interstate moves, so you won’t need to worry about any special permits – we’ve got that covered.
From your side, there aren’t many official documents required for a household move, but it’s a good idea to keep personal identification (like your ID or driver’s license) with you during the move. If you have any valuable or special items (like a car being transported, firearms, or plants/pets), ask us in advance about any documents or preparation needed for those. We’ll guide you through everything and make sure all the paperwork is in order. Moving with ACM Movers is straightforward – we handle the details so you can focus on your new home.
A: Protecting your belongings is our top priority. We use professional packing techniques and high-quality materials to keep your items safe. For example, we wrap furniture in thick moving blankets and secure it in the truck so it won’t shift during the drive. Fragile items like glassware or electronics are padded with bubble wrap, packing paper, and placed in sturdy boxes. We also offer custom crating for especially delicate or high-value items (like large TVs, artwork or antiques) for extra protection.
If you prefer to do some packing yourself, we’re happy to provide tips on the best practices: use strong, appropriately sized boxes, wrap fragile items individually, and clearly label boxes that need careful handling. Additionally, our trucks are equipped with suspension and are driven by experienced drivers who know how to handle the road for long distances, so bumps along the way won’t jeopardize your stuff. And for further peace of mind, our moves come with basic insurance coverage, with options to purchase additional coverage if you have a lot of valuable items. In short, from the moment we start packing to the moment we unload at your new place, your belongings are in safe hands with ACM Movers.
A: We strive to complete every long-distance move as efficiently and quickly as possible, without sacrificing safety. The exact timeline for a move from Illinois to California (or vice versa) can vary depending on a few factors. Generally, the driving distance between most Illinois cities (like Chicago) and California is around 2,000 miles, which typically takes a few days of transit time. For example, once we’ve loaded up the truck and hit the road, it might take about 2 to 6 days to reach California, depending on the specific locations and road conditions. This is a ballpark figure – your actual delivery day will be estimated based on your unique move.
Before your moving day, we’ll provide you with a schedule that outlines the expected pickup and delivery dates. If you have any deadlines (maybe you need to start your new job on a certain date, or your lease is ending), let us know and we’ll work to accommodate your timeline. Because we dedicate one truck to your move and don’t transfer your items elsewhere, we can often deliver faster than movers who consolidate shipments. Also, our team plans the route carefully and follows all regulations to ensure a timely arrival.
To put it simply, the process goes as fast as good planning allows: we’ll pack and load efficiently on day one, drive safely but steadily on the interstate, and coordinate with you to unload at a convenient time. Many interstate moves can be completed within a week. Smaller or more urgent moves might be done even quicker, while very large moves might take a bit longer to organize. Rest assured, we know you want to settle into your new home quickly, so we keep things moving along on schedule. You’ll get updates during transit, and you can always reach out to us for a status update. Our goal is to deliver your belongings promptly and keep you informed every mile of the way.
