Why Choose MoveAmerica
We Drive • You Load
MoveAmerica pioneered the modern self-service moving concept using secure divider trailers, professional transportation, and pay-for-space-used pricing.
MoveAmerica Saves You Time and Money
The MoveAmerica moving concept is a modern moving method created by MoveAmerica which can result in tremendous savings compared to conventional ways of moving, such as hiring a traditional van line or renting and driving a truck yourself.
Instead of renting, fueling, insuring, driving, parking, and returning a large truck yourself, MoveAmerica supplies the trailer and professional drivers while you load only the space you need.
The Original Self-Service Moving Pioneer
MoveAmerica, with more than a century of moving heritage, pioneered and implemented the modern self-service moving method long before it became widely copied throughout the industry.
Others may imitate the concept, but MoveAmerica originated it.
Even when customers arrange professional loading help through MoveAmerica, substantial savings are often achieved compared to conventional full-service van line pricing.
The Security Divider Trailer Concept
The MoveAmerica U-Load™ concept works because your shipment is loaded into the front section of our enclosed Security Divider Trailers.
A secure divider bulkhead (wall) is installed behind your shipment. Commercial cargo may be loaded behind the divider, but your household goods remain separated and undisturbed throughout transportation.
Your Shipment Stays in Place
Your goods are never moved or rearranged during transit.
Secure Separation
The divider bulkhead separates your shipment from other cargo.
Reduced Handling
Less handling often means reduced opportunity for damage.
Efficient Long-Distance Transportation
MoveAmerica uses efficient common-carrier transportation systems.
No Need to Drive a Rental Truck
With MoveAmerica, you avoid the stress and expense of driving a large rental truck hundreds or thousands of miles.
- No truck rental fuel costs
- No rental truck mileage charges
- No truck insurance expense
- No toll charges for a large truck
- No motel parking worries
- No need to return the truck
- No need to drive in unfamiliar cities or mountains
Storage Advantage
If you need temporary storage, MoveAmerica can arrange trailer storage until you are ready for delivery.
MoveAmerica also offers Moving Vault Service as a higher-end option involving professional loading and warehouse storage, although the Security Divider Trailer service is generally far less expensive.
Security and Protection
MoveAmerica Security Divider Trailers are designed to minimize unnecessary exposure of your shipment during transit.
No Multiple Household Stops
Your shipment does not travel from house to house as is common with many van line operations.
Secure Terminal Storage
Trailers are generally stored in fenced and controlled terminals rather than left unattended in public parking lots.
Reduced Exposure
Your shipment remains behind the divider and is not repeatedly handled.
Professional Transportation
Long-distance transportation is handled by experienced commercial drivers.
Why MoveAmerica Costs Less

This creates significant efficiencies because:
- You control or supply much of the loading labor
