Types of Moves / Long Distance

Long-distance moving, without the stress.

Moving across state lines takes more planning, timing, and communication. C&S keeps the process clear from pickup to delivery, so your move feels organized from start to finish.

where we go

Across state lines, with a plan

Based in Mount Airy, MD, C&S helps families relocate beyond the local service area with careful planning, clear communication, and dependable long-haul transport — up and down the East coast and anywhere east of the Mississippi River.

Wherever you’re headed in that range, you get the same careful, family-run service as a move across town.

Help where it matters most

Packing & Unpacking

Full or partial packing. We wrap, label, and protect every box. Quality materials available at extra cost.

Furniture Moving

Heavy, awkward, and antique pieces moved with pads, straps, and a careful plan for every doorway.

Assembly & Disassembly

Beds, tables, shelving, and more — taken apart at the old place, rebuilt at the new one.

Preparing for your long-distance move

A move across state lines takes a little more planning than one across town — here’s what makes the biggest difference.

More planning, fewer surprises
Book early
Lock your date as soon as you know it; weekends and month-end fill fast.
Lighten the load
Donate, sell, or toss what you won’t need before we arrive.
Sort as you go
Set aside what’s going to donation and what needs hauling away; we handle both.
Flag big items
Tell us about pianos, safes, or anything oversized up front.
Reserve parking and access
Reserve street parking at both ends, and book an elevator or loading dock if the building needs one.
Pack to travel the distance
Label by room
Mark every box with its destination room, not its contents.
Pack heavy items small
Books and tools go in small boxes so they stay liftable.
Build a first-night kit
Toiletries, chargers, meds, and a change of clothes stay with you.
Keep valuables with you
Jewelry, documents, and irreplaceables ride in your car.
From your door to the next
Be box-ready
Have everything sealed and stacked before the crew arrives.
Clear a path
Keep hallways and doorways open for a safe, fast load.
Walk us through it
Point out fragile pieces and anything that needs special care.
Do one final sweep
Check closets, the attic, and the garage before we pull away.
