A Different Way to Move Long Distance
The MoveAmerica Flex Moving System separates two parts of a move that are often bundled together: physical loading labor and long-distance transportation. That lets you decide how much work you want to do yourself and how much help you want to purchase.
Load Yourself
Handle the loading and unloading yourself, with family, or with friends when that is the best fit for your move.
Request Loading Help
Professional loading and unloading assistance may be requested where available, so you can add labor without buying a traditional full-service move.
We Handle the Road
Professional commercial drivers handle the long-distance transportation so you do not have to drive a large rental truck.
Pay for Space Used
Your transportation price is based on the trailer space your shipment uses rather than requiring you to purchase an entire trailer.
Secure Divider Trailer Transportation
Your household goods are loaded into the front portion of an enclosed commercial trailer. After loading, a divider bulkhead is installed behind the space occupied by your shipment.
Commercial freight may travel behind the divider, while your household goods remain separated in their assigned trailer space. This arrangement allows efficient use of the trailer while reducing unnecessary handling of your shipment.
The result is a moving system built around professional transportation, customer choice, and efficient use of trailer space.
Why Reduced Handling Matters
Every time household goods are unloaded, transferred, rearranged, and reloaded, there is another opportunity for loss or damage. The MoveAmerica divider-trailer approach is designed to keep your shipment in its assigned space during transportation.
Your Shipment Stays Together
Your household goods remain grouped in the trailer space assigned to your shipment.
Secure Separation
The divider bulkhead separates your household goods from freight carried behind it.
Less Rehandling
The system is designed to reduce unnecessary unloading and reloading during transit.
Professional Transportation
Long-distance movement is handled through commercial transportation systems and drivers.
Why MoveAmerica Can Cost Less
Traditional full-service moving combines transportation, labor, and other services into one package. Rental trucks can shift the driving, fuel, tolls, and road responsibility to you. MoveAmerica takes a different approach: you control the amount of loading labor you purchase, and MoveAmerica handles the long-distance transportation.

Flexible Help at Origin and Destination
Some customers want to do everything themselves. Others want help only with the heavy lifting. MoveAmerica is designed to support either approach.
Loading and unloading assistance may be available at origin, destination, or both ends of the move. Availability and pricing depend on location, timing, the work required, and local provider availability.
Storage When Your Schedule Changes
If your destination is not ready when the shipment moves, storage options may be available. The appropriate arrangement depends on the route, carrier, storage period, shipment, and destination requirements.
Storage terms, free-time allowances if any, charges, access limitations, and delivery timing should be confirmed for the specific move before storage is reserved.
Military Personally Procured Moves
MoveAmerica may also be considered for a member-elected Personally Procured Move when the service fits the shipment and military requirements. Military customers should obtain PPM authorization and confirm weight-ticket and documentation requirements with their Transportation Office before booking.
MoveAmerica does not determine military reimbursement and does not represent itself as a government-assigned carrier.
