A Local Move is defined as the distance between the pickup and drop-off addresses being within 100 miles of each other. Regardless of the distance involved, you’ll still receive the same courteous and professional standards that Pete’s Superior Moving Services maintains for all of our customers.

Intrastate Moving occurs when pickups and unloads are confined within the boundaries of the state of California. Beyond that, only the distance of the move changes. You’ll still receive the excellent customer support and service that we provide regardless of how many miles we have to drive to get your belongings to their destination, safely, and intact.

Interstate Moving, usually referred to as Long Distance Moving, is basically moving your belongings from one state to another. There are a lot of additional factors that come into play when preparing for and undertaking a lengthy move of this type.

For one, interstate movers require specific licenses and permits to do moves across several states. Companies that lack them will run into major delays due to having to stop at several scales; often having to wait in long lines behind other trucks ahead of them queuing up to be weighed, too.

Another major factor that can come into play is weather. During winter, driving in snowstorms, perhaps up mountain passes, can be very treacherous and not something that you would like to do for the first time in a rental truck. There’s also the section of the country known as Tornado Alley where severe thunderstorms occur in the spring; frequently accompanied by tornado alerts and warnings. Even professional drivers can find these driving conditions to be very challenging and harrowing.

All of these reasons add up to why hiring Pete’s Superior Moving Services removes these risks and the intense stress away from you’re having to contend with them. Combined with the proper insurance coverage, your move will help you to feel confident that you made the right decision by not attempting to tackle this on your own.

Planning and undertaking an office move is a major business decision; something that shouldn’t be taken lightly. Relocating a business is much more complicated than a residential move. An extensive number of considerations need to be taken into account. Thorough planning also needs to be conducted. You can find numerous Office Relocation Plan Templates online to assist with your planning.

For example, will your employees pack all their own personal office items? Will they be responsible for disconnecting and preparing all the office computers, copiers, IT equipment, etc. for the move? Or will you prefer to hire a full-service moving company to handle all the packing and loading?

Additionally, is there going to be sufficient insurance coverage with additional addendums to cover potential damage to walls, flooring, or doors?

An office move should be planned several weeks or months prior to taking place. So should hiring an experienced and professional moving company, such as Pete’s Superior Moving Services. Reach out between one and three months ahead of the move to get a quote and the logistics underway. When doing so, providing a detailed list of everything that needs to be moved, as well as anything that has to be taken apart such as conference tables will be useful.

It’s also a good idea, if possible, to provide copies of the current and new floor plans of your offices with details regarding where everything will be located. Photos can also be submitted and uploaded. Even inviting a liaison from the moving company to tour your offices would be especially helpful. The more information you can provide to the movers, the smoother and less distressful the moving process will be.
