What is the transit time from La Puente, CA to Cary, NC?
from Sonny H. in CA - 1/20/2015

Sonny, Transit time is generally 550 miles per day. So CA to NC should take around 5 days travel time. The size of your shipment also determines how quickly it will arrive. For more details, please call our office at 800-876-6839. MovingYourself.com

I know that it takes about 500 miles per day for delivery. However, for scheduling purposes, we don't know which of the 3-6 days the shipment will arrive. Does the driver or company call a day ahead of time so we know what day to expect the delivery?
from Amber J. in OH - 1/8/2015

Amber, Yes, we stay in contact throughout the move. Also, once you have been scheduled, we can give you the day and approximate time that your truck will arrive (barring any delays). MovingYourself.com

How far in advance will I know the delivery day? Thank you
from Mary J. in TX - 11/19/2014

Mary, The number of days it takes to arrive depends on the size of the shipment and the distance traveled. You can generally count on the moving trucks travelling approximately 500 miles per business day. When you are scheduling your move, we can generally schedule your delivery date at the same time as we have a set transit guide. MovingYourself.com

I will be moving from Coulumbia, MO 65203 to Jacksonville FL 32221 around the last week of July this year. The size of the move will be about 2500lbs, or the size of a studio. About how many days will it take to transport my items to my new location? Also, do prices differ depending on the day of the move? If so, when are they the cheapest? -Thank you
from Carol F. in MO - 5/21/2014

CArol, MovingYourself.com has some of the fastest moving van transportation in the industry. We can deliver your shipment in as few as 3 days. Your relocation specialist can help you narrow down the dates. Pricing is a tad more expensive the last couple of days of the month. If you ask your relocation specialist, they will be happy to price out different days for you to maximize your savings. Making Moving Easier, MovingYourself.com

Were moving from San Diego cA to Colorado. How long will it take u guys to get there? Because we have a baby so I'm worried it will take us at least 3 days to get there will u guys get there first?
from c s. in CA - 3/30/2014

The moving trucks generally travel 500 miles per day. However, they will make some extra pickups and stops along the way that should give you plenty of time to arrive before the moving van. We now also provide up to one week of free storage at destination. Please let us know your delivery needs and we can work with you to accommodate them.
