Corporate Relocation Services
Business-focused interstate moving for employee transfers

Vehicle Transport
Safe car shipping coordinated with your interstate move

Our vehicle transport coordination connects you with licensed, insured auto carriers specializing in interstate car shipping, with both open and enclosed trailer options depending on your vehicle value, type, and protection preferences. Most Hillsboro customers choose open transport for standard vehicles, which is cost-effective and safe for everyday cars, trucks, and SUVs. Classic cars, luxury vehicles, motorcycles, and specialty vehicles benefit from enclosed protection which shields them from weather and road debris during cross-country transport. We schedule vehicle pickup to align with your household goods moving timeline, and delivery typically occurs within the same general window at your destination state. All transport partners carry proper insurance coverage and DOT licensing, and we provide full tracking information throughout the journey so you know your vehicle’s location. This is particularly valuable for Hillsboro to Texas, Florida, or east coast moves where driving would take multiple days. Learn about the complete range of specialized moving services we offer, including vehicle transport, motorcycle shipping, boat transport, and specialized handling for antiques, pianos, and high-value items for your interstate relocation from Washington County.
Packing & Crating Services
Professional packing that protects your belongings during long-distance transport
Interstate moves require more robust packing than local relocations due to extended transit times, multiple handling points, and varied climate conditions during cross-country transport. Our professional packing services include full-service packing where our trained crew packs your entire home, partial packing for specific rooms or fragile items, and custom crating for high-value belongings requiring extra protection. We use quality packing materials including heavy-duty boxes, specialized dish packs, wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes, and ample padding materials. Custom crating is available for artwork, mirrors, glass furniture, chandeliers, antiques, and other items that need rigid protection during the long journey from Hillsboro to your destination state. Our packing crews are trained in proper techniques for dishes, glassware, electronics, and furniture protection, using systematic labeling that makes unpacking easier at your destination. Many Washington County residents appreciate the time savings and peace of mind that comes with professional packing, knowing their belongings are properly protected for interstate transport. For those who prefer to pack themselves, we offer packing materials for purchase and guidance on best practices for long-distance moves. Whether you need full packing services or just want custom crating for specific valuable items, our team ensures your belongings are ready for safe transport across the country.

What Makes Interstate Moving Different?
Interstate moving is defined as any relocation that crosses state lines—even if you’re only moving 20 miles from Hillsboro, Oregon to Vancouver, Washington. This distinction matters because federal law regulates interstate movers differently than local moving companies. Every legitimate interstate moving company must register with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and receive a DOT number authorizing them to transport household goods across state lines.
Why does this matter? Because it means your chosen long distance movers Hillsboro must meet stringent federal safety requirements, maintain proper insurance coverage, and follow specific regulations designed to protect consumers. Companies without valid FMCSA registration cannot legally move your belongings across state lines.
Interstate moves also differ in pricing structure. While local moves charge hourly rates, cross-country relocations base costs on weight or cubic footage combined with distance. Timeline expectations change dramatically too—your interstate relocation might take anywhere from 2-10 days depending on your destination.
Why Choose Moving Fellows for Your Interstate Move?

What to Look for in Interstate Moving Companies
Critical Red Flags: No physical address, unusually low estimates, demands for large deposits upfront, no DOT number, rental trucks with no branding, vague contracts, hesitation answering questions, and terrible Better Business Bureau ratings all signal problems.

Essential Questions: What’s your DOT number? What insurance coverage do you provide? Do you use your own trucks and employees? Can you provide a binding estimate in writing? What’s included in your services? How do you handle damage claims? What’s your cancellation policy?
Preparing for Your Interstate Move
8 Weeks Before: Research and compare licensed interstate movers. Get binding estimates from 2-3 companies, verify DOT numbers, book your preferred company, and begin decluttering.

Frequently Asked Questions About Interstate Moving
- How far in advance should I book interstate movers in Hillsboro?
Book your interstate movers Hillsboro 6-8 weeks before your desired moving date for best availability and rates. Peak summer season (May-September) books quickly, especially for popular routes. Off-peak months (October-April) offer better pricing and availability. Moving Fellows accommodates last-minute bookings when possible, though advance notice provides more options and better pricing.
- What’s the difference between a binding estimate and non-binding estimate?
A binding estimate guarantees the quoted price won’t change if your inventory stays the same. Non-binding estimates can increase substantially based on actual weight. At Moving Fellows, we provide binding estimates so you know exactly what you’ll pay. The cost only changes if you add items or services not in the original estimate.
- How does Moving Fellows calculate interstate moving costs?
We calculate costs based on weight or cubic footage combined with distance traveled. During estimates, we assess total belongings, special items, access considerations, and additional services requested. We provide transparent binding estimates including all costs: transportation, labor, fuel, materials, and additional services. No hidden fees or last-minute additions.
- How long does an interstate move from Hillsboro typically take?
Transit time depends on destination. Neighboring states like California or Washington take 2-4 days. Cross-country East Coast moves generally take 7-10 days. Midwest destinations fall at 4-7 days. We provide specific delivery windows and maintain communication throughout transit with progress updates.
- What items can’t be moved interstate?
Federal regulations prohibit hazardous materials including propane tanks, gasoline, paint thinners, chemicals, fireworks, and ammunition. Perishable foods, plants (depending on state regulations), and pets cannot travel in moving trucks. Keep important documents, valuables, medications, and irreplaceable items with you during travel.
- Do you offer storage if my new home isn’t ready?
Absolutely! Moving Fellows provides flexible short-term and long-term climate-controlled storage. If timing doesn’t align—delayed closings, renovations, or temporary housing—we securely store your belongings. You pay only for actual storage time needed. When ready, we coordinate delivery to your final destination.
- How does Moving Fellows protect my belongings during interstate transport?
Protection starts with professional-grade packing materials and strategic truck loading using proper weight distribution. We use padding, straps, and careful placement. All interstate movers provide basic carrier liability, but we recommend full-value protection for comprehensive coverage that repairs, replaces, or reimburses based on current market value if anything is lost or damaged.
